Best Ever Biscuits and Gravy image

I have perfected this over the years. It is the best biscuits and gravy I have ever eaten! Great to serve company on a chilly morning, or an addition to brunch!

Provided by Grammabobbie

Categories     Breads

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

16 ounces roll Jimmy Dean sausage
4 ounces chopped fresh mushrooms
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup flour
4 -5 cups milk
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (19 ounce) cans Pillsbury Grands refrigerated buttermilk biscuits

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F for biscuits.
  • Bake biscuits as directed.
  • Sauté onions and mushrooms in olive oil, till soft, about 5 minutes. Add sausage and cook till browned. Add seasonings. Sprinkle flour over meat mixture, and cook stirring constantly for about a minute. Slowly add 3 cups milk, stirring over medium-low heat, till thickened, scraping bottom of saucepan. Add more milk to desired consistency. Add butter for a velvety finish and stir right before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, cold milk and buttermilk will yield the lightest, fluffiest biscuits. And be sure to use real butter - it makes all the difference in flavor.
  • Don't overwork the biscuit dough. Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough. Just mix the dough until it comes together, then fold it in on itself a few times.
  • Let the biscuit dough rest before rolling it out. This will help the dough to relax and make it easier to roll out.
  • When rolling out the biscuit dough, don't roll it too thin. The biscuits should be about 1/2-inch thick.
  • When cutting out the biscuits, use a sharp biscuit cutter. This will help to create clean, even edges.
  • Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet and bake them in a hot oven. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • While the biscuits are baking, make the gravy. Be sure to use a good quality sausage and cook it until it is well browned. And don't be afraid to add some spices to the gravy for extra flavor.
  • Once the biscuits and gravy are done, serve them immediately. Biscuits and gravy are best when they are hot and fresh.
