Southern biscuits and breakfast sausage gravy

What’s more quintessentially Southern than a breakfast of sausage gravy? The trouble is, on the days you wake up, maybe a little hung over or sick or just homesick, you don’t want to mess around with shortening and butter and buttermilk to make homemade biscuits. Let’s be honest — it’s all about the sausage gravy.

This recipe will make any store-bought biscuits taste homemade, and it can be ready in about 20 minutes! Taste the gravy before you give it a final seasoning with salt and pepper. Some sausage is very high in sodium, and you probably need less than you think.
