Biscuits and Gravy

One of Blythe's favorite meals is Biscuits and Gravy. We made this today and it took minutes. I could give you some long, drawn out recipe for the biscuits but then that would defeat the purpose of giving you a simple recipe that can be made quickly.
I love Pioneer Baking Mix! It makes great biscuits. I would recommend buying that and then preparing according to directions. I would change two things:

One make it with Buttermilk! It makes a world of difference. Two, melt butter and dip your biscuits in the melted butter BEFORE placing on the baking sheet. I'd also say take the extra minute to roll out the dough, fold over, and make the dough a little thicker and then use a glass to cut your biscuits. Please don't use canned biscuits. :()

Gravy: I love Jimmy Dean Silver Label sausage..I think it's sage. Fry that yummy stuff up in a metal frying pan. No teflon. Once it is fried, sprinkle in 2 tablespoons, max, of flour. Stir it in with the cooked sausage until you can't even tell there is flour in there. Sprinkle some Lawry's seasoning salt in to taste. Go easy. Now, fry that for a minute. It will kind of brown everything and make it all good...only a minute or two. Next, pour in your liquid. I like to go half half and half and half milk, but today I did all half and half. I'd say about two cups. I guesstimate. Scrape all of those tastey bits off the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer until it just begins to thicken...if your simmer it too long it will just thicken, and thicken and thicken.

Serve with your biscuits. I love hot sauce over mine! Enjoy!
