Biscuits with gravy is a classic comfort food rooted in Southern American cuisine, popular for its hearty and satisfying flavors. This dish typically consists of soft, flaky biscuits topped with a rich, savory gravy made from drippings, flour, and milk, often enhanced with sausage or bacon for added flavor. While the dish offers warmth and energy, thanks to its calorie-rich composition, it is also high in fats, sodium, and refined carbohydrates, making it less ideal for frequent consumption. Biscuits provide a source of quick-digesting carbohydrates, whereas the gravy adds protein from the meat and calcium from the milk. Healthier versions can be prepared using whole-grain biscuits, lean meats, and lower-sodium ingredients to reduce its heavy nature without sacrificing taste. Popular as a breakfast or brunch option, biscuits with gravy remains a beloved dish that connects comfort and tradition.
