Sausage Gravy Freezes Well:Freeze leftover sausage gravy in 2 cup portions for your next Biscuits and Gravy breakfast! Cool first.

To Reheat from frozen:Tear off freezer bag and pop frozen gravy into a non-stick saucepan*, turn on medium heat and close with a lid. Let gravy come to a simmer, stir before serving.

*non-stick pan is needed in reheating the gravy from frozen state, it tends to stick and scorch in a stainless steel pot. If using a steel kettle, grease well and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.

Since sausage gravy is made from a roux it reheats well. Making sausage gravy ahead of time can be a real time saver for those mornings when you have a house full of guests and don’t want to make things from scratch! Which is why freezing gravy is amazing, too!

To make ahead:place the pot of cooled gravy straight into the refrigerator, if the space allows. When ready to serve simply place on the stove and reheat over medium heat. Sometimes additional milk may be needed to revive the gravy.

Do not underestimate pork sausage, that little log can go a long way! Here are some ideas:

• Fry pork sausage for Stromboli
• Spread prepared sausage gravy over your next Breakfast Pizza (favorite!)
• Use in a Quiche Pie
• Crumble in Pizzas!

My ultimate favorite way to handle leftovers is to freeze it! It’s impressive how well it freezes and how handy such a technique can be for those mornings you don’t feel like making everything from scratch! Try it to believe it!

To Freeze Gravy: Cool the sausage gravy completely. Then pour into a freezer ziplock bag or sandwich bag. Freeze laying flat (to save room for storage later.) Freeze for up to 3 months.
