Biscuits and Gravy are my favorite, slow morning, breakfast dish. This dish is made from homemade biscuits and country, sausage gravy. There are a few tricks included in the instructions below. Make sure you read all the way through! These biscuits need to be made as soon as you can so your family can give you a big hug and say, “Thank you!”

Growing up in Tennessee, I learned a lot about Southern cooking. Biscuits and Gravy is a staple in the South. My mom made them almost every Saturday morning while I was young. Biscuits and gravy were her favorite. When eating out, my mom ordered biscuits and gravy whenever she found them on a restaurant menu. I order biscuits and gravy every time I see them on the menu, too!
