Homemade Biscuits and Gravy

Our family loves breakfast!
We love breakfast for dinner as well!

This biscuits and gravy recipe is super simple to make and packed full of flavor. It's perfect for breakfast or breakfast for dinner.

We generally have sausage in the freezer, so its a great meal to make as we have all the ingredients on hand. It also doesn't take long to prepare or cook, so it works out if you need a meal in a hurry.

What a great combination of biscuits and gravy together. Some people break up the biscuit and pour the gravy over top. Some split the biscuit and half and pour the gravy. Or simply just pour the gravy over the whole biscuit and break it up as its being eaten.

I simply make drop biscuits for the biscuit part of our meal. You can also use biscuits in a can, but once you try homemade biscuits, you won't want to go back. It only takes a few minutes longer to prepare.

Biscuits and Gravy

For the biscuits:

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 tbsp sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup milk

Directions:
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the shortening and mix in so the mixture looks like small clumps. Then add the milk and stir together. Use a hand blender to mix all the ingredients together. Drop the dough on a greased baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Yields about 12 biscuits.

For the gravy:

Ingredients:
1 lb of ground sausage
1/3 cup of flour
3 cups of milk
Black pepper to taste, about 2 tsp.

Directions:
In a pan, brown the ground sausage until fully cooked. Chop up into small pieces for the perfect size for your gravy. If there is a good amount of grease from your sausage, drain off the grease. If not, skip that step. Once the sausage is cooked, slowly add the flour to the sausage. Gradually stir so that the sausage gets coated with the flour. Add the milk and pepper and stir occasionally until thickens, about 10 minutes. Add more pepper to taste if desired.
