I made this for my husband because he loves biscuits and gravy.

I too have never used another recipe. I made this the first time EVER when I got the 1st issue of TOH and it was such a hit with my entire family! I still get requests for this yummy meal. It's a really tummy warming dinner during the cold northern winters. I wouldn't even consider trying another recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"09\/12\/2007 15:00","GUID":"d4666cae285b436aa7a359bb6cca5499","MemberId":1306478,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Martysue","SubmittedDate":"02\/28\/2013 17:20"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"12\/06\/2012 15:04","GUID":"a1a4130097414e2c8bf6394430166c26","MemberId":6846416,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Casmicand","SubmittedDate":"12\/06\/2012 15:04"},{"Comment":"

I too have been making this recipe since the magazine came out and never have even bothered trying another recipe. In fact I even prefer this homemade version better than any restaurant or frozen variety I've tried. So good, exactly as written, except I go ahead and add 1 small onion instead of just 2 Tablespoons. I have used the sage flavored sausage, but I do prefer regular sausage. I preheat the milk in the microwave for 2-3 minutes to speed up the cooking time too. You can have this made in the same amount of time it takes to pre-heat the oven and bake the biscuits.<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"11\/15\/2011 15:36","GUID":"d8421d41863449cbb8d0e060f05b2b46","MemberId":3914606,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"bjq","SubmittedDate":"11\/15\/2011 15:36"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"11\/11\/2011 17:37","GUID":"afb8670075e44ac1b2472c02c19ef1de","MemberId":6326263,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"lisapsalm","SubmittedDate":"11\/11\/2011 17:37"},{"Comment":"
I remember the first publication of this recipe so many years ago. I had made this for my family and they loved it. My boys were just little and I skipped putting the hot pepper sauce in the batch back then; used it as a condiment instead. I have since passed it on to others, tweaking to \"our tastes at home\". I use Jimmy Dean HOT sausage and if I am making a double batch, I will use 1 JD HOT & 1 JD Sage. I also add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, for added flavor, as well as a thickener;no one here likes runny gravy!<\/p>","CommentId":23,"DateRated":"04\/10\/2011 10:29","GUID":"f415dece5b65423a829b5b4b8069e2d7","MemberId":5927453,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"tuslunchbox","SubmittedDate":"04\/10\/2011 10:30"},{"Comment":"
I think I cooked mine a little too long, wasn't liquid enough. I also think the poultry seasoning was too much, but perhaps that's because there was no sage flavor in my sausage. Will try again at later date.<\/p>","CommentId":24,"DateRated":"01\/03\/2011 19:23","GUID":"962554ECBF0E4571A5D76FB2CA66D196","MemberId":3143610,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"Aneeley","SubmittedDate":"01\/03\/2011 19:23"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":25,"DateRated":"07\/26\/2010 17:22","GUID":"3a2ab9dcd4dc4289b129bfd2062c46d0","MemberId":4357045,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"NJMCc","SubmittedDate":"07\/26\/2010 17:22"},{"Comment":"
