Biscuits and gravy are quite possibly the best comfort food ever. They’re perfect not only for breakfast, but at any time of day! This recipe is so easy, there’s no reason not to make it; it takes all of 20 minutes. You can buy pre-made biscuits to make it even easier, although I love to make my Super Simple Yeast Biscuits.
I added cayenne and nutmeg to this recipe – I think it really pulls the sauce together. If you don’t like spicy, just eliminate the cayenne. You can add other herbs too…fresh sage or a pinch of thyme are amazing in these!

No one taught me how to cook. So, when I married in college, it was touch and go. The first meal I made was beef stew and lemon pie. The lemon pie was great. The stew needed improvement. So, I studied every recipe, food menus that I could. Sounds like your mom and I grew up about the same time.
