This easy Old Fashioned Biscuits and Gravy has homemade creamy southern-style sausage gravy and large flaky buttermilk biscuits using just a few ingredients. If you like spicy heat, you can add a pinch of cayenne to the gravy.

This recipe uses canned biscuits to make it even easier and is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner, ready in about 25 minutes.

I bake all 8 biscuits and use the leftovers for something else. Or you could double the gravy and make 8 servings.
