sandycombsThanksgiving is 2 days away and I'm not in the mood to cook. To that end, I made one of our favorites for dinner tonight: biscuits and gravy. I have a bad habit of using a supermarket shortcut when making gravy. I just can't resist the siren song of those little packets! There are several variations on this recipe, depending on my mood. Sometimes I crumble and cook ground beef. Sometimes I use breakfast sausage. Tonight I used 2 drained and flaked cans of tuna. For my gravy averse Yankee hubby I call this meal creamed "whatever," substituting the name of the meat used. 😃

1 lb. ground beef or 1 lb. ground sausage or 2 cans drained and flaked tuna
2 (2 cup size) packets of country gravy mix
4 cups water
1-2 cans large biscuits (like Grands)
Bake biscuits according to package directions. Crumble and brown ground beef or sausage in a skillet and drain off any fat. If using tuna, drain and flake. Set meat aside. Stir gravy mix into water and whisk thoroughly. Stir in meat. Cook and stir constantly over medium heat until gravy thickens. Split biscuits and ladle gravy over the top.
Note: I like lots of gravy left over for another day. If you don't want leftovers, half the amount will feed 2-3 hearty appetites.
If you chop and use this stuff, it's creamed chipped beef, or SOS!
