Biscuits and gravy is one of those foods that just reminds me of home. My dad used to make this for us on the weekends. When I first met Hubby, he had no idea what biscuits and gravy were. Crazy Northeasterner! He fell in love the first time he had my dad's biscuits and gravy. And it's so simple to throw together when you're half asleep on a Saturday or Sunday morning.I like to use the flaky buttermilk store bought biscuits. You could definitely make your own from scratch if you wanted. We also like our gravy pretty thick. Feel free to add more milk to thin out your gravy if you prefer.

I'm with One Ordinary Day! You're the third or so blog in the past day I've seen post about biscuits and gravy. I'd say that's a sign!

Yummy is all I can say!
I just moved to Southwestern Virginia a few months ago, and biscuits and gravy are an everyday delicacy around here.
A couple of tips from my grandma...use hot sausgae because it gives it a TON of flavor without making the gravey actually hot. (The milk and flour tone it down)
And to avoid the whisking, after browning the sausage, add just the flower. It will make a roux from the fat that has cooked out of the sausage. THEN turn it on high and add the milk. No whisking, no lumps. I guarantee it! ;D
Sounds perfect! We went to some breakfast place on Sunday and I had sausage and biscuits on my mind, and they didn't have any! How can they even call themselves a breakfast place??
Hi, my children just finished eating your biscuits and gravy. All three of them loved it. I loved it as it was super easy and fairly quick to make. Thanks!
