Biscuits and gravy is a popular breakfast dish amongst people of the Southern United States. It consists of buttermilk American biscuits covered in thick "country" or "white" gravy made from the drippings of cooked pork sausage, white flour, milk, and often bits of real sausage, bacon, ground beef, or other meat. The gravy is often flavored with black pepper. In some parts of the South this is also called sawmill gravy. The dish is best eaten soon after it is prepared, and is always served piping hot.
While biscuits and gravy generally refers to sausage gravy (as described above) there are regional variations on this gravy. Egg gravy is one variant popular in southern Indiana. It is made by scrambling eggs in bacon grease, then adding flour and milk to make gravy, and adding crumbled bacon back to the mixture. Tomato gravy is white gravy mixed with crushed or diced tomatoes.
