Everyone in the family really enjoyed this recipe! Papa Bear was pleasantly surprised to see that I was making it for dinner when he came home. Love Bug actually ate the gravy off of the biscuits and left most of the biscuits. Sweet Girl loved it so much that she asked for the leftovers a couple of days later, but Papa Bear had eaten it for breakfast.
I really enjoyed this meal. It was tasty and easy to pull together last minute. I usually have sausage and biscuits on hand. I also like that it was easy clean-up!
Tips
- Serve with oranges or apples if you want a crunch with dinner.
- Bake the biscuits while your gravy is thickening. You want to serve the gravy over warm biscuits, so timing is important with this recipe.
- I buy sausage when it is on sale and freeze it. Keep in mind that while you can cook it from frozen for these types of recipes, it will add quite a bit of time onto the prep time and you have to watch it more when it cooks.
- You could try a different sausage flavor, but I would stick to the original flavor or maybe use a spicy sausage.
- The gravy refrigerates well. Make up a batch and the family can have a yummy, warm breakfast during the week.
- Biscuits usually do not re-heat so well. Plan accordingly.
- This would probably be good on rice, too.
- The gravy would be easy to take to a breakfast potluck. Put it in a crockpot and have some warm biscuits on the side for people to dish their own serving.
