Biscuits with Sausage Gravy Recipe

Southern-style biscuits with sausage gravy is a wonderful, comforting breakfast that my boys just devour. Shhh, don’t tell them that biscuits with sausage gravy recipe is pretty easy to make! The star of this recipe is the gravy: the thick, creamy gravy warms your throat and soothes your belly.

I cook the refrigerated biscuits in the toaster oven. I LOVE my toaster oven, in fact it’s one of the top kitchen gadgets I recommend. It heats up quickly, cooks up the biscuits to be browned on top and fluffy throughout and doesn’t set off my temperamental fire alarm like the big oven does EVERY. TIME. I. COOK!

I cook the gravy in a separate saucepan (this is the set I am buying next) as I am trying not to eat as much meat to help ease my Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms. My boys prefer more gravy and less sausage so I keep the sausage separate so I can use later in the week in a Western scramble or on homemade pizza.

You certainly can sprinkle the baking mix (or flour) directly on top of sausage and add milk to the same skillet for a one-pan gravy if you want easy cleanup or your family enjoys a meaty gravy. Sometimes, I don’t even put the sausage and instead scramble some eggs to put on top of the biscuit and then smother with gravy. Really, you can’t go wrong with this simple delicious gravy.

    1. Thanks Ginger, its an easy, feels-good-on-the-tummy recipe. My 3 boys and hubby love it and I love it cause its easy and keeps them happy and full!

    1. It certainly would taste good with turkey sausage. Sometimes I just make scrambled eggs on a biscuit and top with the gravy. It’s creamy and delicious. Not too fattening since I use 2% milk typically.

  3. Want to know a secret? I’ve never had biscuits with gravy before. It just looks weird to me. My kids love and enjoy it but I just can’t do it. They think I’m crazy for not trying it because to them it just tastes sooo good. 🙂

    1. Lol, that’s funny you think it looks weird but your kids love it. Our family is the opposite, my kids are always saying things look weird and I think everything is delicious! 🙂

  4. My husband would absolutely LOVE this! This is one of his favorite foods and of course he just looked at my computer screen, meaning I’m going to have to make this for him, haha. Thank you for the recipe! Can’t wait to try it out!
