    Biscuits and Country Gravy: Classic Southern Comfort Food

    February 11, 2020 Filed Under: Biscuits and Scones, Breads, Breakfast and Brunch, Condiments

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    Traditional Southern Country Gravy made with sausage or bacon. Great on biscuits, country fried steak, etc.

    Biscuits and Country Gravy are a scrumptious comfort food pair that are perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

    In honor of Mom's first birthday in heaven, I am refreshing this post for one of her favorite comfort foods. She rarely made it at home because she hated making gravy. But, she definitely ordered it whenever it was on the menu when we went out to eat.

    You can find Cousin Linda's biscuit recipe here. Or use your own favorite recipe or buy the refrigerator ones at the store. But, Linda's recipe is pretty awesome.

      Biscuits and gravy reminds me of my years living in Tx (north of Dallas) like almost nothing else except maybe Chicken Fried Steak with that same gravy!

        My mom suggested Country Fried Steak, but I hate to fry. I only have it when someone else makes it.

      Well that's a big plate of comfort right there and we all need some comfort after the hits we've been taking.

      Talk about food as comfort. This is it! My husband isn't a biscuit fan but I could eat a good biscuit with every meal and even better if it's biscuits and gravy! What a perfect tribute <3

      A plate of your biscuits and gravy would be the perfect way to start the day. Especially if there's bacon in that gravy 🙂

      Thank you for hosting! This is what I featured the week of 2-3 to 2-7 on my blog. On Tuesday was Addiction Chocolate Cake. It tastes like a giant Ding Dong. Wednesday I featured a Banana Chocolate Chip Cake worthy of replacing any loaf style Banana Bread. Thursday I featured Slice of Heaven Cake. If you like caramel and snickers candy bars you need to grab this recipe. And winding up Cake Week I posted How to Pipe Frosting. It is part of my Tip Friday Series.
