Nothing says comfort food like sausage biscuits and gravy! And I never knew how easy it is to make until my cousin gave me her recipe years ago.
Nothing says comfort food like Sausage Biscuits and G
For the sausage, I usually use Italian sausage, but you can use whatever kind you prefer. I buy mild, though you can use spicy sausage or breakfast sausage for a different flavor. Italian sausage makes the gravy yellow while breakfast sausage keeps it traditional white gravy.
I don’t even care for sausage much, so just take the chunks of sausage off mine. But you have to have it to get the right flavor. The gravy is made in the drippings from the sausage, so you want to make sure it’s in the pan at the time.
Usually, I use refrigerated biscuits but have occasionally made drop biscuits with
One of the biggest hints my cousin gave me was the key to the gravy. If it gets too thick, add just a bit of milk in until it’s the consistency you like. Alternatively, if it’s too thin, slowly whisk in more of the Bisquick to thicken the gravy.
Step by Step
Bake the biscuits according to the package.
Brown the sausage in a medium saute pan while the biscuits bake.
Remove the sausage from the pan but do not drain the pan. Add the butter until it melts, followed by the milk. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to warm the milk.
Slowly add the Bisquick, whisking constantly, to eliminate the lumps. It can help to sift the Bisquick so it isn’t clumpy when it goes into the pan.
Sprinkle the pepper and stir it into the gravy.
Add the sausage back into the pan so it can heat with the gravy.
Serve the gravy over the biscuits and enjoy!

A great day to make them – it’s cool here
That’s the best time for a warm breakfast!
Ooh, these look so good – my hubby would love these for his breakfast at the weekend!
We make them either for a weekend breakfast or oftentimes as breakfast-for-dinner here.
I’m definitely not a sausage fan, but my husband has been asking me to cook more sausage for YEARS. Maybe I’ll surprise him and bust this recipe out soon!
I am not a sausage fan either. I like the flavor in the sauce, but don’t want to bite into the chunks. My plate usually has a pile of sausage moved off to the side that my husband then takes for his own!
I am so glad I decided to open your post tonight. This recipe will be perfect for my Sunday morning. I will make them, hopefully, they look as good as yours.
This is a typical Sunday morning breakfast here, too. Mine have come out not looking as nice, but they always taste good!
This post is making my mouth water. This looks beyond amazing. Yum!
Thanks, April! They are delicious 🙂
Wow. I haven’t heard of this recipe! But definitely looks delicious! Would love to try some someday.
This tends to be a southern meal in the US as far as I know. I’ve only ever lived in the South so it’s pretty common here.
I’m actually eating a Sausage Biscuit from McDonald’s while reading this and regretting it! This of course looks a million times better. You always make it look so easy!
Well, McD’s has the convenience factor over my recipe, but I will always go for homemade rather than storebought or fast food.
Wow! We do sausage gravy for dinner sometimes. This looks fabulas
We tend to have this more as a breakfast-for-dinner meal than actually for breakfast, too!
When the cold days are here, comfort food is the best! I would love to make these biscuits for a Sunday brunch!
These meals are definitely best when it’s cooler outside and you just want something warm. It would make a great Sunday brunch recipe!
It is actually the first time of my life I hear about sausage biscuits and gravy! I’m so curious about it, maybe I should give it a try 🙂
Oh my gosh, I guess it’s a US thing then since you aren’t the first to say that. I’ve only lived in the southern states and this is a very Southern Comfort Food recipe here!
