I brown Jimmy Dean's sausage and add flour and milk to make the gravy. It's very good over biscuits. A friend told me corn meal is better than flour. Has anyone tried this? I hate to waste a lb of sausage. I just can’t imagine making gravy with corn meal. That’s probably against the law somewhere in the Deep South. 😜

I remember as a kid some people used corn meal. I've had it but been too long to remember. I would rather try meal than use Jimmy Dean, not my favorite.

When flour got scarce in the south they turned to corn i suppose

OP, I am 48, weigh 175lb at 5’10”, and have been eating bacon and eggs with hashbrowns and biscuits and gravy for breakfast most days since I left home a few decades ago. Started out as a laborer, went into ironworkers, then carpentry. Active life. I take no meds, cholesterol and BP low side of normal. Pulse rate in the 50’s. Artery scan a year ago showed no obstruction anywhere. Good food won’t kill ya. Bad food has a hell of a time doing it, genes hurt you worse than anything. Men in my family live to be 90, spend the last fifty years of that with back trouble. I am doing exactly that. Doin’ better than a bunch of them, because I work out. Grandpa died last year at 90, healthy as a horse, no meds, but his back literally falling apart. So I get a good idea what my road out will look like.
Said all that to say this. Your genes will map the road ahead, more than your supper. Good luck, and don’t run out of buttermilk! That puts you in a bad place...😂 Chuck Norris approves this message. Chuck did say he would kick my ass if I ever run out of buttermilk again.

I remember as a kid some people used corn meal . . . Never tried it. I have used masa (corn flour) to thicken some types of chili and that works good, has a nice flavor.

Bella's in Wells, Nv. [the cafe not the brothel] has the world's best breakfast. A giant biscuit w/ the best chicken fried steak, 2 poached eggs and amazing gravy. I feasted there yesterday and am a better person for having done so.

mike r Because I used to live there...they claim the best breakfast, I disagree. But given there isn't any other options for 50 miles in either direction I guess they can tout it. Depending on who's cooking for the girls on the other side of the tracks, you might get a better meal and maybe cheaper....

My wife makes amazing B&G. Unfortunately for me, she doesn't care for the dish, so I don't get it as often as I'd like.

Nothing like 2 or 3 slices of fried pon haus to round out a plate of biscuits and gravy.

Biscuits and Gravy is only the side dish of a good Southern Breakfast... and the gravy needs to be made with shredded chicken neck meat and chopped giblet, not sausage or bacon: and made with fresh cracked pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt... started from the drippings from the night before or the mornings bacon grease. 4 biscuits, 6 eggs (Sunny Side Up), fried potato's and a pan fried steak to to complete. And Sour Dough Toast for sopping up the egg yolk and remainder of the gravy. Glass of V-8 and a couple cups o coffee makes for a good day's starter. Phil
