Sausage gravy made with buttermilk and sautéed red onions over dropped biscuits and served with country ham...
That's the way to start the day!

(Just don't tell your cardiologist!)
It would probably be really good with a spicy bloody Mary or mock Mary!

I think my day would end as quickly as it started since I would need a nap. :D
-
I could hammer that, with the high test Bloody Mary, of course.

That looks fantastic! All the times I've made sausage gravy or biscuits and gravy, I've never thought to add some onions. I've also never used buttermilk... :o Thanks for the tips! And I'd bet it would be really good with darn near anything! :P

Mike, That looks awesome! I used to make it quiet often. My problem was I'd get the light blond rue going and it would be what I thought was the right amount until I started adding the milk and then I'd find I needed to add more milk than I had originally thought. I kept going back and forth and would end up with enough to feed a squad rather than the three I had planned for. Of course, in order not to be wasteful (after all there are starving children in China and India) I'd have to make sure it was all eaten.
That has got to be one of the best breakfasts of all time. Dee

Mike - there is hope for you to become an adoptee of Southern Culture!!!! :D
Beautiful gravy.

You got some sausage in that! Just the way I like it!!! Don

Mike, You've gotta move down here to Augusta. We won't even ask you to get a passport. I know a good old boy, who knows another good old boy who can get it done. Dee

Looks great!!! :P
I like to use leftover brisket for brisket gravy and biscuits :)

X2 but switch the drink to one of these
Scale ingredients to servings
1 1/2 oz vodka
fill with clamato juice
3 dashes Tabasco® sauce
3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Line the rim of a glass with salt and pepper. Over ice, add vodka, fill with clamato juice, then add the remaining ingredients. Garnish with a celery stick. Add more tabasco sauce if desired.

I don't drink alcohol anymore but a great virgin bloody Mary is a good thing! Just need to add some celery salt and it's good to go!
Pickled okra makes a good garnish also.

Ok Dee gonna make it real easy for you. All you have to remember is 2-2-1. Two Tbsp flour, 2 Tbsp fat and 1 cup milk. Want more double it. 4-4-2. Want it thicker 3-3-1. Just a couple of white sauce basics to remember. Always cook your fat and flour on med low for no less than 5 minutes. Add warm milk not cold. After it comes to a boil reduce heat to low, add seasoning and cook for no less than 5 minutes. Perfect every time.

Boy that looks great. Buttermilk is getting a lot of mentions in various cooks.....it is good stuff that works with a lot of things. Great idea on the gravy.
-
That is some serious comfort food goodness. I'd eat that.
-
WOW! Great looking gravy

Great looking stuff, My wife is the gravy master but I may show her up with the 2-2-1 method :)
-
RickB, I appreciate the initial simplification of 2-2-1 but then you forgot I was in the Infantry and you started with all that doubling and 4-4-2 and lost me. :-[ Now my head hurts. :( Dee

If you don't have buttermilk put 1 tablespoon of white vinegar in one-cup measuring cup and fill with whole milk. Let it sit out on the counter for a couple of hours and you have mock buttermilk.

Rick -dumb question but what do you use as "fat" --lard?
-
You can use any "fat" that you want... bacon grease, Crisco, butter, oil, whatever. It all works the same.

Looks really good. My favorite breakfast but only once in awhile since I retired and don't work it off like I used to.

Now that looks great, I love me some bisquits and gravy, anytime of the day, with seconds
