About Biscuit with gravy and cheese

Biscuit with gravy and cheese is a comfort food staple originating from Southern U.S. cuisine. This indulgent dish features a warm, flaky biscuit smothered in creamy gravy, typically made from milk, flour, and sausage drippings or butter, infused with peppery seasoning. Melted cheese is added on top for an extra layer of flavor. While rich and satisfying, the dish is calorie-dense due to its high fat and carb content. The biscuit provides energy-boosting carbs, while the cheese offers protein and calcium. However, the gravy can be high in saturated fat and sodium, making it less ideal for those managing heart health or weight. This dish embodies hearty Southern tradition and serves as a decadent treat, best enjoyed in moderation or paired with lighter sides like sautéed greens or fresh fruit to balance its nutritional profile.
