How Do You Guys Make Sausage and Red Gravy?

How do you make a red gravy with sausage?
Does it need to be fresh sausage or do you use smoked?
The only way I have ever done it is browning down beef and building a regular gravy with onions and beef broth and then adding tomato sauce before simmering.
Is that about it or is there something different that you do?
Bonus points for pictures.

I only use my homemade Italian sausage when making sausage and red gravy.
My red gravy is pretty standard with tomato paste, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, fresh sweet basil and rosemary, dried oregano, fresh parsley, onions, bell pepper, celery, green onions, garlic and bay leaves. Then a bit of sugar and some grated parmesan cheese. I let my red gravy cook at least 3+ hours.
Other stuff I add are a bit of Worcestershire sauce, a few dashes of hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste.

Lived up north for a bit. Had a real eye-talian roommate. His folks made wine in their cellar in Queens. Gravy from scratch, made their own sausage and pasta. Wine gave a massive hangover. CSB
I do jar gravy & Italian sausage from the meat counter. Slice some peppers & onions. Stick it all in the oven. Can’t miss. Don’t over think it.

a good friend of mine that knows everything says that what you’re really looking for is more of a sauce than a gravy.

It sounds like you know things. If I wanted to make a combination of the 2 could I call it grauce and become internet famous?
TIA

Hot sauce does not go in a red gravy.

For the record, I am not talking about Italian food or “Sunday Gravy”.
I am talking about the coonass red gravy that is made with pure pork andouille.

Yeah, MawMaw smothered seven steaks like that. It was more of a brown tomato gravy, not acidic. I can't replicate it

Ahh!!! That makes more sense now. When you say red gravy, my mind is going to go to a Sicilian red gravy.

My family from Evangeline Parish would make a "rust" gravy with sausage, all you have to do is after you brown your sausage you take one medium onion and one can of drained diced rotel per pound (keep the liquid add it back later) and caramelize them. You end up with a "rust" colored gravy.

Sausage and Tasso in a red gravy is exquisite.

Tomato sauce, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, rotel, whatever you decide to use to make it red.
Simmer it for a few hours with trinity.
Add smoked sausage whenever. And season to taste.
It's literally the cheapest cajun dish. Tomatoes, sausage, and rice. You can't frick it up.
Add some sugar to cut down on acid.

Honest question- no roux or anything first?
