You won't believe how simple this classic Sausage Biscuits and Gravy dish is to make!
Hey, y'all! Sausage Biscuits and Gravy is a staple in every southern household. It's a delicious, hearty meal that helps you kick off the day just right!
Every family has recipes that get passed on from one family member to another- this is one of those recipes. My Aunt Vickie taught my mom how to make this dish, and I learned from watching her. I altered it just a smidge (only by adding garlic powder) to make it my own. Each time I whip this dish up, I think of my mom and my aunt.
What is Sausage Gravy?

How Do I Make Sausage Gravy?
