This meal is high on the rotation chart. Biscuits are a quick bread, so they're quick and easy to make (although, if you accidentally substitute baking soda for baking powder they will be disastrous, trust me).
You may already have a favorite biscuit recipe that you are loyal to. If you do, go ahead and use that. We all have our favorite when it comes to baked goods. If you don't have a favorite biscuit recipe, let me introduce you to mine. It comes from a dear friend, Hildie, who is one of the best cooks I know. She put it up on her blog years ago, and once I gave it a go I became a loyal fan of these biscuits. Check it out here.
BTW, Hildie is totally hilarious, smart and talented. IMO, her blog is a must read. Also, she is as authentic and lovely in real life as she is online.
So, to go with the delicious biscuits, I make The Pioneer Woman's sausage gravy. You can find that here. Now, let me tell you that I do make two alterations to her recipe because it just tastes and works better that way. First, I use whatever milk I have on hand (usually 1% or skim) because this household cannot have whole milk just sitting around. A certain someone, who will remain nameless, has a crazy addiction to whole milk and we just don't buy it. Second, her recipe calls for two teaspoons of black ground pepper. That is a lot of pepper my friends. I made it once this way and my non-spicy loving family couldn't handle the heat. So, I cut it down to a 1/2 teaspoon of pepper and that is plenty.
This dinner can easily be served with a side of steamed veggies and you'll have rounded it out quite nicely.
