Drop Biscuits and Gravy

I've never made, much less tasted biscuits and gravy before although I've always been curious.  I added in a bit of chorizo to the gravy to give it a little kick, as well as subbed in half heavy cream for the milk.  Also to start out I made bacon first in the pan and friend the sausages in the grease.  Not the most heart healthy dish, but it was yummy.  Recipe base off allrecipes.com.

Drop Biscuits and Gravy


  • BISCUITS
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon butter or margarine, melted
  • GRAVY:
  • bacon grease
  • little under 1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
  • about 1/8 lb chorizo
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cups milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
 In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Combine milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until blended. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan, cook the sausage and chorizo over medium heat in the bacon grease until no longer pink. Stir in butter until melted. Sprinkle with flour. Gradually stir in cream, milk, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Serve over biscuits.
