Ingredients

Who knew that canned biscuits plus an eight ingredient gravy (including salt and pepper!!) could be so delicious?!

Canned biscuits. Feel free to make your own, but here at Show Me the Yummy: EASY recipes for yummy food, we like to keep things simple. And trust me. With a flavor bomb sauce, canned biscuits are juuuuust fine.
Breakfast sausage. Pork breakfast sausage makes for a super flavorful gravy. Feel free to use, mild, medium, hot, or any other flavor of pork sausage.
Butter. Adds richness and creaminess to the gravy.
Flour when combined with butter, creates a roux, which thickens the gravy.
Milk. Today, we’re using skim, and it creates a gravy that will plenty rich! Feel free to use whatever milk you have on hand.
Spices: black pepper, salt, rosemary, and thyme. Feel free to just use salt and pepper, but the rosemary and thyme really helps this gravy stand out.

Best biscuits for biscuits and gravy

Keep this recipe semi-homemade by using store-bought biscuit dough, but make the sausage gravy from scratch. I suggest using your favorite brand of canned biscuits like Pillsbury, but you could also use frozen biscuits like Mary B’s Buttermilk Biscuits!

If you’d like to make this recipe completely from scratch, feel free to use your favorite homemade biscuit recipe like these homemade buttermilk biscuits.

What do you serve with biscuits and gravy?

Fresh fruit
Eggs – over easy or sunny side up are my favorite, but scrambled would also be delicious
Roasted breakfast potatoes, hash browns, or home fries

Can you make it ahead of time?

The biscuits are best made right when you’re ready to serve, BUT, they can still be delicious re-heated. Simply make the biscuits as directed, cool, then store in a sealed airtight container. To re-heat: cover each biscuit in foil, place onto a baking sheet, then bake for about 5 minutes (or until warmed through) in a 350 degree F oven.

The gravy keeps beautifully in the fridge. After you’d made the gravy, let it cool completely before placing it into a sealed airtight container. You can store gravy in the fridge for up to 3 days. To re-heat: place into a microwave safe bowl and heat until warm OR place into a sauté pan or sauce pan and heat over low heat, stirring regularly, until heated through. Feel free to thin with more milk, if desired.
