Upside-down Sausage Gravy and Biscuit

"Scrapings" from Upside-down Sausage Gravy and Biscuit

Every once in a while, I'm inspired to create a dish. Unfortunately for our Sunday School Class, inspiration often hits on Sunday mornings! They have been the guinea pigs for more of my experiments than, I'm sure, they care to recall. Fortunately for me, they are a very forgiving lot - as many times my creations are a complete flop!
Upside-down Sausage Gravy and Biscuit seems to be one of my better attempts. The class says it's a keeper. Except for the bit on the bread plate in picture, we "licked" the pan. Larry and I both thought it need a bit more "biscuit". I've increased the Bisquick a bit in the revised recipe below. I also though the gravy could have used a dash of salt, so I've added it as well.
My friend, Brenda, whom I sit next to in Sunday School, commented on how hot the food still was after being taken out of the oven for over an hour. The Pampered Chef stoneware and insulated carrier really keep foods piping hot.

Here's the recipe:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a 9x13 baking dish, and set aside.

Ingredients:

2 lb.s sausage, browned and drained
2 packets of white gravy mix, prepared according to packet directions. You need 4 cups of gravy. (We like Pioneer's Biscuit Gravy.)
salt, to taste

Stir prepared gravy and browned sausage together. Pour into prepared baking dish.

Biscuit Batter:

Mix together with a whisk:

1 1/2 cups Bisquick
2 eggs
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons melted butter

Pour batter over sausage gravy mixture, and bake about 20 - 30 minutes, until topping is done and is golden brown.

Recipe can be easily cut in half and baked in an 8x8 pan.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy!

Dough Burgers

Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant! When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
