QUICK, EASY AND SPICY SAUSAGE GRAVY OVER GRITS OR BISCUITS
Great for breakfast served with scrambled eggs, or just enjoy it as is for a hearty lunch or have breakfast for dinner. This is so easy to make, 30 minutes or less and it is on the table. My friend took advantage of quick cooking grits, but you could easily serve this over croissants, toast, burritos, or even some "canned" biscuits as I did brushed with A spicy butter (see note below) - or just top some poached eggs. This is not my recipe - my girl friend got it from...her boy friend's sister who got it from "who knows where." However ... she made it for me and I thought it was absolutely delish! So, I just wanted to pass it on. I will definitely be making it again.

Steps:
- Sausage -- In a medium sauce pan, saute the sausage, breaking it up as it cooks, on medium heat until cooked through. Make sure to drain the sausage well before making the rest of the sauce. I use hot breakfast sausage, but use what you like best).
- Once the sausage is drained well, return to the sauce pan and add the green chilies, scallions, cream, red pepper flakes, cumin and oregano. Mix well to combine and taste for any additional seasoning (salt or pepper). Let it simmer on medium to medium low for 4-5 minutes. The cream will help it thicken naturally.
- After the gravy cooks 4-5 minutes, stir in the cheese and heat through just to melt the cheese. This should be done just a few minutes before serving.
- Prepare the Base -- As I said, you can really use anything. Grits were excellent, croissants would be wonderful too. I happen to use Pillsbury (or a canned) biscuit, or you could certainly make your own too. I cooked the biscuits according to package directions. But NOTE, I brushed the biscuits (before baking) with a mix of butter, chili powder, and cumin for a little extra flavor.
- Serve -- Simply serve the gravy over your choice of the bottom layer. Garnish with extra cheese if you want and the extra scallion. A poached egg would be great, or even some scrambled eggs on the side. Just ENJOY!

Steps:
- 1. Make biscuits from Mommoo's biscuit recipe that I have posted or use your favorite biscuit recipe. I use the medium cutter it is 2.25 inch cutter or use the 2 1/2 inch cutter for bigger biscuits and the smallest for party size biscuits
- 2. Once biscuits are done set to side to cool drop oven heat to 375 degrees and make the sauce: Combine all ingredients and bring to low boil then reduce heat to low simmer stir every few minutes to keep sauce combined while you are assembling biscuits
- 3. Cut cheese slices into 4's and cut ham slices in half. Put 1 slice of the cut ham on the biscuit folded in half and 1 slice of the cut cheese top with biscuit top and return to the pan they were baked in. If you want more meat add more as you assemble your biscuit.
- 4. Once all the biscuits have been stuffed and returned to the pan stir sauce well and spoon over each biscuit making sure to cover tops well with sauce. Sprinkle with Poppy seeds and return to oven at 375 degrees until cheese has melted 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips for Making Quick Biscuits:
- Use cold butter: Cold butter creates steam when it melts in the oven, which helps the biscuits rise.
- Work the dough quickly: Overworking the dough will make the biscuits tough.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits dense.
- Let the biscuits rest before baking: This allows the gluten in the flour to relax, which makes the biscuits tender.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the biscuits rise quickly and evenly.
Conclusion:
These quick biscuits are a delicious and easy-to-make addition to any meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have fresh, homemade biscuits that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give these quick biscuits a try. You won't be disappointed!
