Adding cheese and a few spices takes these biscuits over the top!  www.littledairyontheprairie.com

Biscuits and gravy are one of my kids favorite breakfasts! Adding cheddar and a few savory spices sends them over the top! Making the gravy the day before makes my mornings so much easier too!

Sausage and gravy

Crumble and brown some bulk sausage.  It’s good to have a little grease in the sausage. If there’s lots of grease, drain some of it. Sprinkle some flour on top and stir until the flour coats the sausage. You really won’t even be able to see the flour after a minute.

White gravy and biscuits

Pour milk in with the sausage. If you really like creamy and aren’t worried about the size of your thighs…add some 1/2 and 1/2 or cream too! I’m worried about my thighs so I used 2% milk.

Sage white gravy

Add salt and pepper to taste. And now for the important part, add some sage. I LOVE sage! It’s so darn good!

Cheddar white gravy

And for the extra important part, add grated cheese. I used cheddar, I’m sure other kinds would be good too. Of course it would be good, you can’t go wrong with cheese.

Cheesy biscuits and gravy are one of my favorites to serve to company! Everything can be made ahead, makes my life easier!

This is where I put the gravy in the fridge until the morning. Because I really value my sleep I set the time bake on my oven so it’s already preheated when I wake up. Who wants to wake up ten minutes early to preheat the oven. All I have to do when I wake up is bake the biscuits and warm the gravy. And yes, I  use a can of biscuits most of the time. Don’t think less of me.

A super simple yet hearty breakfast!
My boys eat this stuff until it is all gone! Especially my picky meat loving middle child. The melted cheese makes it so rich, and the sage gives it such a savory flavor.

Cheesy Biscuits & Gravy

Cheese and savory sage take these biscuits and gravy over the top! I love being able to make most of it the night before. It makes my mornings so much smoother.

    I loved the idea of using the time bake to preheat the oven, I love my sleep too.

    You can tell you are a dairy family, because biscuits and gravy will fill you up and stay with you all morning. Lucky little men folk to have a Mom who cares about them so much.

    Grr, I wished I had seen this last night . . . It’s what we had for dinner, but the pepper accidentally FELL in the gravy, and let’s just say it was a little (a lot!) hot! This is why I should follow a recipe:) I don’t really like the canned biscuits, so we tried the new Rhoades biscuit dough–it was pretty good, very fluffy, and didn’t have that “fake” taste. Just in case you feel the same way about your biscuits . . . .

      Whenever we have food that is a tiny bit spicy, Justin rubs ice cubes on his lips to cool them down. Sounds like you needed that trick last night! Lol!! I didn’t even know about Rhoades biscuits. I’m going to try them for sure. I really like homemade biscuits…but lets keep it real here!
