FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Where can I find canned sausage gravy?

I’m able to find the canned gravy at Walmart. Libby’s is my favorite brand but the great value brand at Walmart is a close second. Or you can but the packaged sausage gravy and make it using the instructions on tieback of the package.

I have my own homemade gravy can I use it?

Absolutely! Homemade gravy is pretty simple to make. I have a delicious Sausage Gravy recipe that would perfect with this! You will have some leftovers most likely, but it is great for adding more over the tops of each of your cups! Who doesn’t love more gravy?!

What kind of sausage should I use in the gravy?

Usually breakfast pork sausage is used. It comes in a variety of flavors such as original, mild, hot, sage, maple, etc. You can use your favorite depending on the flavor that you are looking for. If you use the canned gravy it will usually be the original flavor.

Can I use crescent rolls instead of the dough sheets?

If you can’t find crescent roll dough sheets or prefer not to use them, you can use regular crescent rolls. Make sure that the perforations are sealed well before cutting. We do not want them to accidentally open up while baking and the gravy to seep out.

Can I double this recipe?

You absolutely can and I highly suggest it! You can either bake 12 in one pan and then the remaining after those are finished, or use two muffin pans. You can definitely freeze leftovers for a quick breakfast for on-the-go!

Why do I need to use cooled gravy?

If you are using homemade gravy, make sure the gravy is room temperature or cold. If it is warm, it may cause the cups not to cook up properly and the filling to be too loose and runny.

How do I store leftovers?

I don’t recommend storing these in the refrigerator for long periods of time because of the gravy, it will make the crescents soggy. Plan on eating these as soon as they are made or within the first 24 hours. Otherwise, you can freeze them by wrapping each one individually in plastic wrap then placing in. a freezer safe container. This will help with freezer burn. Reheat in the microwave until heated through.

Gravy added to crescent squares in muffin pan.

    Brandie, I did not know that there existed canned Sausage Gravy! With the economy in the shaky situation that it is in we have been stocking up on a lot of canned goods. We usually do this anyway because we live on the Gulf Coast for hurricane season. Two ladies wrote a book on food storage and do you know that canned products are a good source of moisture. I am happy to add this gravy to my supplies, and I can’t wait to try this recipe out on my guys.

        These are quick and easy if you don’t want the traditional biscuits and gravy. I had left over sausage gravy and decided to try this recipe. It was delicious!

    We like creamed chipped beef over toast and I tried this recipe using homemade creamed chipped beef. It was a hit! I made it as a very quick weeknight dinner aside of scrambled eggs. Will definitely make again; for breakfast or dinner. I did have to bake it a few minutes longer as the creamed beef was cold from being cooked earlier and then refrigerated. Would make a great brunch item as well.

  3. Oh how we love our biscuits and gravy here in our house!! We cannot wait to try these. We have a short trip in our travel trailer coming up to attend a wedding in Vermont. Do you think if I made these in advance and either froze them and reheat in the trailer, or just make ahead and refrigerate then reheat would be best? Thanks for always sharing your great recipes and ideas with us!! <3
