I remember growing up, my step-dad would make a weekend Hardee’s run to get biscuits and gravy because no other take-out place carried them, and frankly, weekend breakfast at a sit down restaurant was absurd.

I am not sure why he never made homemade biscuits and gravy, but hubby’s grandpa taught him and I am forever grateful because this is one of our favorite meals!

PS: This is not a healthy meal!

(We’re lucky if we get it once every six months!)

Ingredients:

2lbs sausage (hubby makes his with one mild and one hot generally, but I have requested he only use the mild as the hot has a kick)

Biscuits (if you have time and desire, you could make homemade biscuits, but we buy the canned refridgerator biscuits)

Flour

Milk

Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Brown sausage in a large pan big enough to hold the gravy.
2. Once the sausage is cooked, drain and save the grease from the sausage to make your gravy base.
3. Place the oil back in pan and put on medium heat – enough to get the oil to boil.
4. Add in flour a little at a time until you get the consistency of peanut butter.
5. Let the oil and flour cook for a while until it is golden brown – remember to stir constantly or the flour will burn.
6. Once the flour is cooked, slowly add in the milk while whisking until you get the consistency of a thin gravy.
7. Allow to come to a boil, stirring constantly (or the milk will burn).
8. The gravy will thicken up when it comes to a boil. You can add more milk to thin it out.
9. At this point, add in the seasoning that you would like (salt and pepper) and taste the gravy to see if it needs anything else.
10. After seasoning is to your liking, put the sausage back in to the gravy and allow to warm.
11. Turn the heat down and let sit stirring occasionally to make sure the stuff on the bottom does not burn.
12. Make the biscuits following the directions on the can.

Question for you: I eat my biscuits and gravy like shown in the picture; however, my hubby and daughter put their biscuits on a plate, their sausage gravy in a bowl, and then spoon the sausage gravy onto their biscuit. How do

you

eat your biscuits and gravy?
