I tried my hand at biscuits andgravytoday and the texture and thickness of thegravywas perfect, but the flavour was a bit lacking... how do I make it come out tastier?

I don't know your recipe, but in my experience the sausagegravyneeds to be heavily seasoned with black pepper. Here's my recipe:
1 lb bulk breakfast sausage 1/4c minced onion 6 TB flour 3-4c hot milk Black pepper Salt
sauté the sausage and onion together, breaking up the sausage into small bits, until the onion is clear and the sausage is cooked. If there is a lot of fat, remove all but 4 TB. Sprinkle the flour over and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes. Stir in 3c of the milk and cook, stirring, until thickened. Add additional milk as needed to get the desired consistency. Add lots of black pepper and salt to taste.

Dont forget the Over-easy fried egg on top of the bisquit, and the gravy over the top of both of them.........sooooooooo GOOD :-) and maybe a side of grits :-)

Hmmm? That's pretty much my recipe but mines a little simpler - 1 lb. sausage (I like to use the hot version as it needs no extra seasoning), 6 T. flour, 1 qt. milk - eh, viola!

Yeah, that's the way I eat them. Yum.

Hmmm? Never thought of that. I'm planning to make them soon so I'll try them with the grits. Good idea.

Sorry - I know it isn't healthy, but what's healthy about biscuits and gravy, anyway? 🙂

Isn't it the chicken fried steak and eggs that comes with it? 😉

How Mr Raven eats it top down:
Gravy Eggs Hash browns biscuit.
Terribly unhealthy. It's so good though. You eat it about 10 am saturday morning then by 11 am you're ready to go back to bed because for some reason it makes you sleepy.

Sounds like the "diet plate....OUR way". But you left out the cheese grits and sausage patties.
