Biscuits with sausage gravy is a classic comfort food rooted in Southern U.S. cuisine. This hearty dish typically consists of soft, flaky biscuits smothered in a rich, savory gravy made from crumbled pork sausage, milk, flour, and seasonings like black pepper. While loved for its satisfying flavor and texture, it’s also a calorie-dense meal due to its high fat and sodium content, mainly from the sausage and creamy gravy base. Biscuits contribute refined carbohydrates that provide energy but with minimal fiber. On the positive side, the dish offers protein from the sausage and milk, which can support muscle repair and growth. For a lighter version, variations may include leaner sausage options, whole-grain biscuits, or low-fat milk alternatives. This indulgent meal is best enjoyed in moderation and paired with nutrient-rich sides like fresh fruit or sautéed greens to balance its richness.
