This is one of my favorite meals, my mother made it often. It makes me laugh now, but when I was a kid I always preferred the biscuits from a grocery store roll, the kind you break open on a counter. I was always disappointed when my mother made homemade biscuits, though I would give anything for them now. I make my own from scratch, and I have to say they're pretty good, though not quite traditional. I guess I've watched too many PBS cooking shows.
I try to make it from pre-packaged mixes and bisquits. My favorite has always been McDnd's or Hardees. I can eat it all day.

Talking Re: Biscuits and Gravy....

Just got back from a 2 week trip to Oregon and of course my favorite breakfast is biscuits and gravy(sometimes with a rasher of bacon/ham).
Had some fair ones and some really good ones. NO "excellent" ones though.

I don't eat the Biscuits and Gravy in the motels, been there and got sick from um...they reheat the gravy over and over...

So, try to find the little out of the way coffee shop that the locals go to and that is where I find the better B's and G..

Do you have any places that make really good "Red-Eye" or other Gravy and good home made biscuits?

The Largo Cafe in Quemado, NM makes good B and G...

Also one in Cottage Grove, Or..forgot the name of the restaurant, but it was downtown.

Anyway....goes along with "Fall" breakfast's.

Happy trails,

Hunter on the HUnter

You can make your own very delicious Biscuits and Gravy. This recipe is fantastic and bad for you too!

I haven't found any that were nearly as good in restaurants. So disappointing!! Good Luck in your search!

I like to make mine with the crumbled sausage right in the gravy, but I can't find sausage that is greasy enough to make enough gravy. So I have to cook more sausage than I want.

It has been recent that I started making my own sausage gravy. It's actually really good.

Butter, pan drippings, flour, milk, salt, pepper, and crumbled sausage. I added a little homemade chicken stock to really give it a kick.

Eta, I never did master red eye gravy. I haven't tried in years, though.

It came as a shocker to me but I found a Village Inn in North Scottsdale, AZ that makes a pretty fine biscuts and gravy. I like mine at lunch!

Red eye gravy made with bacon grease and french roast coffee. I like mine on the peppery side. Cast iron skillet makes the best. Slather all over country fried steak and biscuits top with a couple of dashes of Tabasco.

This place is 5 miles away from me, and serves up the best sausage gravy over biscuits I've ever had.
I once drove an 18-wheeler across the length and breadth of this land, and I've had b&g all over the lower 48, so I know from b&g.
