Cooking Tips
- You can make homemade biscuits if you like, or use a biscuit mix like Bisquik. I usually pop them on a baking sheet and bake them in the oven while whisking together the gravy. But if you want to keep it even more simple (and save a mixing bowl), open a can of refrigerated biscuit dough and call it good. I like the golden brown, flaky layered biscuits, but any kind will work perfectly.
- Opt for whole milk for this recipe. You'll want to keep things as creamy and rich as possible, and I find that using whole milk helps to make the most decadent biscuits and gravy ever.
- Save the grease from browning the sausage for the gravy. It adds a real depth of flavor that just can't be beat!
