I'm looking for a really good ole fashion biscuit and gravy recipe. Something like your grandma used to make.
Meridian Dog...Martini...Degas...Stadium Rat...other's...bring-em on.

I suck at making biscuits so no help there, but sausage gravy is pretty easy.

Cook up some sausage patties, chop them up. Sprinkle some flour in the pan drippings and whisk into a paste and cook for a few minutes. Add milk(whole milk is best) a little at a time, whisking as you add it to remove lumps. Add until you get desired consistency, add chopped up sausage, salt & lots of pepper.

That's how my grandma made it. She used hot sausage so it didn't need any hot sauce added to it if you like spice. She didn't measure anything either, and I don't either. I'd say it's about 2T of flour and 2-3 ups of milk maybe.

Use a can of evaporated milk to bring it up a level.

Am I the only one too lazy to remove the sausage after browning? Just add the flour and milk to the skillet with the cooked sausage

let the sausage cool and work the flour in with your fingers. a paste is too much flour. use buttermilk and salt and pepper to taste. if you want to make homemade biscuits look up the recipe for Touch of Grace biscuits in Cookwise by Shirley Corriher. very good. Recipe for gravy is on the Pioneer Woman's web site.

1 pound roll of breakfast sausage, hot or mild( I prefer Tennessee Pride)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 to 4 cups whole milk, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, more to taste


Brown and scramble the sausage over medium-high heat in a skillet (I use a large wok) until no longer pink(do not drain fat). Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up, then add more little by little. Stir it around and cook it for another minute or so, then pour in the milk, stirring constantly.

Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 10 to 12 minutes.) Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue cooking until very thick and creamy. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in another 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

I make awful biscuits but the frozen Pillsbury or Mrs. B's work great
