Breakfast for Dinner: Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

Gluten-Free Southern Biscuits with Sausage Gravy featuring Krusteaz Gluten Free Buttermilk Pancake Mix

I grew up in southern Virginia, the home of grits and collards and sausage gravy, but my mom was from Maine. She didn’t grow up on grits and collards and sausage gravy, so she never prepared them in our home. It wasn’t until I was much older that I discovered these Southern culinary delights. Therefore, I feel that it is my responsibility to share these recipes in case you, too, are living a life devoid of such simple pleasures.

I’ve already shared recipes for grits and collards, and today I’m going to introduce you to biscuits and sausage gravy. Oh yes….

First, let me say that I am well aware this dish is neither heart healthy nor friendly to your waistline. I will not lie. However, there is a time and a place for certain indulgences, and I propose that a life without biscuits and sausage gravy is a sad life indeed.

Krusteaz challenged me to create a breakfast for dinner recipe with one of their gluten-free baking mixes, so I came up with a gluten-free version of this quintessential Southern recipe using Krusteaz Gluten-Free Buttermilk Pancake Mix.

While the biscuits are baking, you can throw the sausage gravy together. It truly takes just 10 minutes. If you are not gluten-free, you can make this recipe with the regular Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix, and in the gravy, you can use regular all-purpose flour rather than the gluten-free variety.

If you really want to take it up a notch, throw a fried egg on top. YUMMY!

  1. I discovered biscuits and sausage gravy when I spent a summer in Mississippi during high school. It’s got to be one of my top 5 favorite meals ever. I don’t think my gravy has ever been done cooking in just 10 minutes though, any idea why it takes me so long??
