Love to visit Cracker Barrel - and come home with left over biscuits.  While they are great just heated - you can get another breakfast by making sausage gravy.  This is a staple in the South that a girl friend taught me:

Author unknown -

one pound of sage sausage
 one quart whole milk
three tablespoons cornstarch
one quarter cup water  

brown sausage in heavy aluminum skillet
add milk bring to slight boil
add cornstarch and water that have been mixed well  

heat to thicken

Pour over those heated baking powder biscuits.

I love sausage gravy, I could eat it every morning, my grandma used to make it everyday.  I'm doing good, if I get a Starbucks these days for breakfast!

Corn starch isnt the way to make gravy! :( 

Fry out the sausage and set it to the side. Leave about 2-3 tablespoons of the drippings in the pan and keep it hot, but not scorching. Medium heat works best. Sift in (or just dump it) about 2 or 3 tablespoons of flour. This should be thick but still pourable. Use a wisk to keep it stirred constantly and it should appear to boil. Dont get it too hot! Keep stirring it untill the color turns just a little darker, usually a minute or so. Then slowly pour in COLD water (amount of water takes practive) and keep it mixed up with the wisk. Using cold water will keep it from lumping up as bad. Add a little salt and pepper and reduce the heat to low-medium and return to a simmer. The gravy should appear very thin for a few minutes until the flour has time to absorb the water. Keep stirring it so that it is even and has no lumps. Cook it down until it is just a little thinner than you want it for pouring over your biscuits. Toss in the sausage you set aside and then pour it over a couple biscuit halves and you are done.

(Corn starch makes OK gravy, but practicing with flour cant be beat.)

This is how my granny tought me how to make sausage gravy.
