Biscuits and gravy is a beloved, classic breakfast that is also one of my favorite comfort foods. It’s hard to beat a combination of flaky biscuits covered in the best sausage gravy that’s creamy, rich, and so flavorful! I like whipping up a batch of my homemade buttermilk biscuit recipe, but you can use store-bought biscuits to save time when making this hearty breakfast recipe.

  1. Looks great! Crushed cayenne pepper is always up in the air as to how much to add. I grow my own…they are always so, so much hotter that what I find in the grocery store. A little of my garden cayenne pepper goes a long way! 🥵

  2. Sorry- looks like trump won, so you're not married and they're taking your kids away.
    Enjoy your trump fans.

  3. I love biscuits and gravy! I treat myself to this every couple of years for obvious reasons.

  4. I add a few pinches of beef bullion to my gravy. When I can find pork bullion, I will add that instead.

  5. I add a heaping scoop of cream cheese to my gravy and sometimes a heavy punch of sugar. The cream cheese in the tub integrates much easier than the foil wrapped sticks.

  6. I must say I prefer a biscuit that can stand up to the gravy and not be just a soggy bread mess. That is a lot of sausage but boy it looks good and now I am hungry at 10pm!!!

  7. I like to add a little cognac to my meat and let it cook out before adding milk, through in a little butter too for extra glass and flavor. Sometimes a a few lemon juice at the end to make it brighter.

  8. I’m a real Southern boy and I’ve eaten biscuits & gravy my entire life, but the thought of biscuits & gravy kind of turns my stomach right now. I had a bad accident in August and spent more than six weeks in the hospital, most of which was in the ICU. For some reason, the hospital served biscuits & gravy for breakfast about once every five or six days. I was unable to keep anything down for the first four or so weeks in ICU — problems with medications upsetting my stomach — and thus everything they served me now has unpleasant associations for me. Scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, and oatmeal similarly turn my stomach now. (After being unable to keep breakfast down every day, they didn’t even try to feed me lunch or dinner, so I only have these unpleasant associations with breakfast foods…)

    The good news is that I lost more than 20 pounds over those six weeks. The bad news is that I now never want to see many of my breakfast favorites ever again. Sadly, I won’t be trying out this recipe here, even when I’m able to cook again. I still don’t have full use of my right arm, so things like cooking aren’t really possible right now. I love watching cooking videos while I recuperate, though, except for a few specific breakfast foods…

  9. It's so odd. In Britain biscuits are sweet dry snacks one buys in a packet and gravy is a brown sauce made from stock. It's hard to get round the fact that in North America biscuits are sort of scones and gravy is white and you eat them together! Still I'm sure it all tastes nice.

  10. To me, biscuits and gravy is the ultimate comfort food so your timing on this recipe is just right. I feel like a lot of us are going to eat our feelings over the next fews days…

  11. A couple of comments from a southerner from the foothills of NC taught by his grandmother.

    1. Use an English breakfast sausage traditionally. This is the sausage in plastic tubes.

    2. Fry the sausage as patties and remove them when cooked. This way you can control how crispy you want the sausage.

    3. Make your roux with the fat and flour. I once asked my grandmother how long to cook and she told me until it’s almost burned. You need to cook that raw cereal taste out of the flour and keep in mind the longer you cook the flour, the less thickening power it has. Pro tip: if your gravy is too thin you can always make another roux with equal parts flour and fat and use the gravy instead of milk.

    4 after you’ve finished you can take the sausage and crumble it on top of your gravy. Because it’s crispy, it can give you a difference in texture.

    If you make the gravy without meat, it is versatile. That’s because it’s a béchamel. Sawmill gravy is the term we use when it’s just the flour and fat with milk. I honestly find it easier to make the gravy this way but I have had years of practice.

  12. If you remove the meat from the pan I find it easier to make the gravy. I also increase the fat content with a little butter in the pan, then flour and milk. Add the meat back and simmer a little and season. You can also make bacon fat gravy, ham gravy, whatever you like. 😍 my favorite is bacon.

  13. I've been using so many of your recipes, and gotta say every time it turns out fantastic. And being able to watch you as I do it is the best help ever!! Thank u so much 🙏 you're an amazing cook baker u do it all. Thanks for all the amazing recipes.

  14. I like more gravy than sausage better than a lot of sausage in my gravy. How can I achieve this?

  15. I make mine almost the same way. But instead of adding pepper flakes, I add a splash of hot sauce. I know, sounds crazy. My wife turned me on to using it and it’s really good. Adds a lot of flavor to the gravy. I use Cholula original. Give it a try.

  16. I love your channel so much. I come here whenever I need to take a break from the horrors of the internet.
