One of my granddaughters spent the night with us and it's pleasing to see her adopting the traditions. My wife's mother grew up in the southern US (Georgia) and gave her kids a liking for biscuits and gravy. I've always taught this particular granddaughter to go to her grandmother and ask her for biscuits and gravy (of course, my wife is smart enough to figure out where the request comes from -- especially after the granddaughter squeals on me ). This morning she asked my wife for biscuits and gravy without prompting, so now I know the tradition will be passed on to her kids.
My wife buys the inexpensive powdered white gravy mix and makes the gravy from that (she makes a good gravy using flour too; the package mix is just a lot quicker). She mixes in the cooked bacon bits from a package. She makes the biscuits with a package mix like Bisquick. Nothing fancy -- just makes an enjoyable meal.
I love sausage gravy, but since my wife doesn't like sausage, we don't have it. Instead, she'll occasionally get me some hot Italian turkey sausage and cook a couple of those up for me. Those make the best biscuits and gravy! Of course, it's mostly a meal of carbs, so if you're watching your weight or you're a diabetic, tread carefully.
