This easy-to-use mix makes GREAT GRAVY that really, really, truly tastes homemade. For years, I made gravies "from scratch," till a friend introduced me to this amazing time saver. I've tried both this Country Sausage flavor & Pioneer's Peppered Gravy mix & this one's my favorite.My husband's from the Southland, where chicken fried steaks and biscuits and gravy are required eating, so learning to make good gravy was a must. In my experience, people from Northern Climes tend to mis-understand this "white gravy" and how to properly cook & eat it. No, it's not intended to taste like bland white flour paste (and this brand does NOT). But here are some tips, just for those interested:1. Here are the directions for a typical batch, from the package: just boil 1-1/2 cups WATER. Mix the contents of the package into 1/2 cup COLD water. Then add the gravy/water mix to the boiling water, reduce heat, simmer 2 minutes & done!2. Here's how we do it, to make TEXAS GRAVY: as your 1-1/2 cups water's boiling, grind about 1/2 teaspoon black pepper into the water. Let it boil a minute or two (this will infuse the pepper into the water, intensifying the flavor). When you mix the gravy mix into cold water (I use a pyrex mixing cup like this Pyrex Prepware 2-Cup Glass Measuring Cup with Lid ), grind your favorite amount of freshly ground black pepper into this mixture & stir well (believe it or not, I use another 1/2 teaspoon--hubby likes it HOT). I use a French whisk (one with a rounded handle, so it can be rubbed between the hands to mix thoroughly--like this: Kuhn Rikon 10-Inch French Wire Whisk). Then whisk this into the boiling water/pepper mixture. I reduce heat, then continue to simmer for about 5 minutes. This thickens it and, in my opinion, gives the gravy a deeper flavor--the color will actually darken a bit. Remove from the burner & you're done! Easy, breezy, especially compared to "scratch" gravy. The flavor's great & particularly good with Chicken Fried Steaks, Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, and, of course BISCUITS & GRAVY. Yum; A++ for simplicity, convenience, & great flavor!P.S. This is my favorite find, in pepper grinders: easy on the hands! : OXO Good Grips Lewis Pepper Mill---Have a question about this gravy mix? Just leave a comment & I'll be happy to help you if I can.

This product is always good and has been for years.

Delicious!

Next best thing tohomemade and much simpler.

Great gravey mix. Easy to make. Tastes great..although combined with the mild sausage I use, it is a little more spicy than I prefer... but I hate spicy food, so for the normal person, it would be perfect.

My family loves this mix

Easy to make for a delicious biscuits and grave
