Gluten Free Biscuits and Gravy

Why You’ll Love This Biscuits and Gravy Recipe

This gluten free biscuits and gravy recipe is yummy enough to become a tradition to treat mom on Mother’s Day, for breakfast on Thanksgiving, or, crazy as it sounds, even Christmas Eve dinners. We don’t like to fuss with a complicated Christmas morning breakfast when there are presents to open, so we have breakfast for dinner the night before. But you can definitely add it to your holiday morning feast along with gluten free cinnamon rolls.

Perfect for family celebrations all year long. It’s also easy enough to be a simple addition to your weekly dinner rotation! I love how quickly this dish comes together, and these gravy-covered biscuits are also super quick to disappear from the plate!

• Easy. All you need is your favorite sausage, a few spices, and milk to make sausage gravy that you can serve on fluffy gluten-free biscuits. The biscuits bake up in about 10 minutes, and the gravy simmers to perfection on the stove in no time.
• Flavorful. Thanks to the sausage and spices, every bite of this meal is bursting with flavor, but without the need for a lot of ingredients.
• Hearty. This satisfying brunch or dinner idea is full of protein that will fill up hungry bellies. And it’ll definitely warm you up on cold days or nights!
• Minimal cleanup. You just need one bowl to make the biscuit dough, one skillet to cook the gravy, and one plate to serve up your masterpiece!

Sausage Gravy Ingredients

Before we dive into what you’ll need, make sure you check out my buttermilk biscuit recipe. Once your biscuits are in the oven, gather the following items for your gravy. This is just a quick overview, and you can find the full amounts and detailed instructions in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Gluten-Free Biscuits: This recipe is going to use my homemade buttermilk biscuits, linked above.
• Olive Oil
• Sausage: Use your favorite kind of raw pork breakfast sausage. You can get links, but you will have to remove it from the casings, or bulks sausage. You can even use chicken or turkey sausage, if you prefer, or make your own homemade breakfast sausage.
• 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour: Use the spoon and level method to avoid over-packing your flour.
• Spices: You’ll need dried thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
• Whole Milk

How to Make Biscuits and Sausage Gravy from Scratch

Even though classic Southern biscuits and gravy sound like a labor-intensive dish, they’re really easy to make.

• Make the Biscuits: Prepare the biscuits according to the directions in this recipe. I recommend preparing the gravy while your biscuits are baking. That way, you can pour it on when they’re fresh from the oven. Yum!
• Cook the Sausage: Add the oil to a skillet over high heat and add the sausage. Break the sausage up and cook it until browned.
• Add Dry Ingredients: Reduce the heat and add the flour and seasonings. Allow the mixture to cook for a few minutes.

Proper Storage

• Refrigerate – Let your gluten free sausage gravy cool completely before you store it. Then place it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It’ll stay fresh for up to 4 days.
• Freeze – If you want your homemade gravy to last longer, store it in the freezer, too! Once cooled, pour it into a freezer-safe bag or container and store it for up to 3 months. Let it thaw overnight in the fridge before you reheat it. If you store your gravy in a bag, lay it down flat in the freezer so it freezes and thaws faster.
• Reheat – It should be reheated in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir the gravy occasionally until it’s reached your desired temperature and serve it over the biscuits. Microwavig could cause the gravy to curdle or separate.

Make it a Meal

We all know that biscuits and gravy are a brunch classic. And brunch should be a feast! So here are some favorite ideas to go with this dish:

• Have a side of potatoes. Let’s make it extra satisfying with a slice of Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole or a scoop of Spicy Air Fryer Sweet Potato Cubes.
• Add something sweet. I love a sweet and savory brunch, so let’s have some Gluten Free Bismark Donuts or a batch of Flourless Blueberry Muffins.
• Serve with eggs. If you need to prep in advance, make up some Broccoli, Ham and Cheese Egg Muffins or poach some eggs as described in this Eggs Benedict recipe.
• Lighten things up with fruit. If you need a fresher flavor to balance out the richness, add some simple fresh fruit or try a lighter version of Apple Candy Bar Salad or bright and colorful Tropical Fruit Salad.
