Biscuits and Gravy

I was in the mood for some comfort food this morning, and what better than some Southern Style Biscuits n' Gravy? I don't think people realize just how easy sausage gravy is to make. I know I always expected it to be some big production that took hours of simmering and stirring...I couldn't have been more wrong. I mean, you CAN make it that way. I've seen recipes that call for tons of bacon fat, pounds of sausage, and in some cases, over-night simmering. If you're wanting to take that route, have at it! Personally, I prefer this simple recipe that takes about 15 minutes from start to finish! If you're cooking for a larger group, it's simple to double or even triple this (the recipe below serves 2). Serve over some of your favorite biscuits, and you got a tasty (and filling) breakfast!
