Biscuits and sausage gravy is a classic dish rooted in Southern American cuisine. It typically features soft, fluffy biscuits smothered in a rich, savory gravy made from crumbled pork sausage, milk, and flour, seasoned with black pepper and occasionally other spices. This comfort food is known for its hearty, warm flavors, making it a favorite for breakfast or brunch. While it provides energy through carbohydrates in the biscuits and protein from the sausage, it is also high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium, which might be a concern for those monitoring heart health or weight. Pairing the dish with a side of fresh fruit or opting for whole-grain biscuits and leaner sausage can introduce more balance and nutrients. Biscuits and sausage gravy exemplifies indulgent Southern tradition while offering opportunities for creative adjustments to suit a variety of dietary preferences.
