Easy Sausage Gravy and Biscuits
Sunday breakfast has always been a time in our house to bring the family together…starting the week with good food and family time. I made Easy Sausage Gravy and Biscuits with eggs and fruit. A hearty breakfast that fills us up and satisfies everyone. Just a few simple ingredients and 30 minutes in the kitchen and you have a hot, savory breakfast. I wish everyday could be Sunday!
There’s a time for homemade recipes and then, there’s a time for shortcuts. Many times I’ll grab a convenient item to use in a meal, like prepared biscuit dough, because I know that I won’t have time to make them myself or simply because it is EASY. Busy lives just mandate these choices and that’s okay! We all need to take a shortcut once in a while. Pillsbury is the leader is prepared doughs for a variety of baking needs, including biscuits, pizza crust and pie dough. And they all taste great!
What type of sausage should I use to make gravy?
I use one pound of ground pork sausage for this recipe. Since I’m an Ohio girl, our choice is Bob Evans Original Pork Sausage. It has great flavor and browns quickly in the skillet. If you select a maple flavored sausage, remember that it will make your gravy sweet. And Italian ground sausage may be spicy, so be sure to use the mild version, unless you want spicy gravy. I have even used bratwurst with the casing removed, as it has a savory flavor without too much sweetness or spice.

I split each biscuit open and poured hot gravy over the bottom half. I served it with fluffy scrambled eggs and fresh fruit, you just can’t go wrong with this plate of comforting food. This is one of my husband’s favorite breakfast meals. I hope you take time to start the week right with a great breakfast shared with your family.
