southern biscuits and peppered gravy julia's pantry one of my favorites biscuits and gravy. i usually cook up the biscuits and fry some sausage patties, then i use about 1/4 lb of sausage browned in the skillet and add the gravy mix and cook as directed. of course eggs and grits just add to this meal. save some biscuits to top with butter and jelly or honey.
