I love this simple recipe for when we are expecting family or friends to come in for a visit. I even sometimes just make this for Travis and I and we reheat leftovers in the microwave throughout the week. It does reheat well. This is a older recipe I found online and have adjusted to make it my own.
I have 1lb of Jimmy Dean sausage, but you can use any breakfast sausage crumbled. Same goes for the biscuits. It’s whatever brand you have on hand. I’ve used the stores name brand and it worked out just as good. The peppered gravy mix comes in a small packet. We like to use the pioneer brand, but the McCormick brand has been good also.
Give this recipe a try and let us know what you did differently! This is always one of our favorites and a must try!

What is “peppered gravy mix”??
It comes in a package. McCormick makes it and we have a brand called Pioneer as well. Either one will work.
