I’m not a huge breakfast eater. Yup, I said it. And yes, I know that breakfast is the single most important meal of the day. I just don’t like to eat right after I wake up. I’m ready for breakfast at about 10. And at that point I’m at work in the middle of teaching a class, so breakfast usually ends up being a granola bar that I inhale during passing time. I’m classy like that.
On the weekend though, breakfast is made and eaten and enjoyed because I can make breakfast while drinking a cup of coffee after waking up at a time that is not ridiculously early.
One of my all time breakfasts to make is biscuits and gravy. As I was making this last weekend, I realized that I have never written about this deliciousness on my blog.
So, in order to make up for that, here’s a recipe and a few pics.
Biscuits and Gravy
-1 pound of sausage
-1/4 cup flour
-4 cups milk
-salt and pepper to taste
-6 biscuits (You can use frozen, from the tube, homemade or from baking mix. Mine came from baking mix because that was easy!)
Brown the sausage. When sausage has browned, add in 1/4 cup flour. Mix flour and sausage together and allow to warm for about a minute. Add milk and mix everything together. Allow mixture to warm through and get bubbly. Add a little pepper and a little salt. Taste and see if you want some more. Add more if you do! Make sure you occasionally stir this. The gravy will thicken. When the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency, spoon over biscuits and enjoy!
If you really want to live on the wild side, make an over easy egg and put in on the top of the biscuits and gravy…you won’t regret it!
I have a recipe for this on my blog as well from a long time ago, and my photo is horrific. Sawmill gravy is so hard to make pretty, but your photo is fantastic! This is one of my favorite foods ever, and I wish I had some for breakfast right now!
I love the idea of putting an egg on top!
Thank you! It’s so hard to make gravy pretty…it just looks like a blob!
Yep, that’s how my Aunt makes her biscuits and gravy – so fricken good!!
Happy Friday!
Agreed! Love this breakfast!
I always think biscuits and gravy are too heavy for breakfast, but these look so great that I might just have to try them!!
Oh my gosh I love biscuits and gravy!! I’ve never topped it with an egg before, I might have to try that next time!
Do it! You won’t regret it! I thought it would be gross, but it’s actually really good!
Weekend breakfasts are my favorite too
And this would be such a winner in my house.
A girl after my own heart! That is the ultimate Southern staple for breakfast. Thanks for sharing!
I would fit in so well in the South then…I love this meal!
we have friends who make the best biscuits & gravy–his gravy secret is to use half regular sausage & half spicy sausage. it’s got a bit of a kick, but is still kid friendly. so good!! this is a great breakfast
What a great idea! I love spicy, so that sounds really good!
I’m the opposite and am a HUGE breakfast eater- looks like a great way to start the day!
Can you believe I have never had sausage gravy??? That is just weird. This sounds like a great b’fast for dinner option. I wake up starving in the AM. I have the same problem though. I am usually too tired before I have had my proper amount of coffee to make much.
