Gluten Free Biscuits and Gravy Recipe

If you miss biscuits and gravy since going gluten-free this gluten-free biscuits and gravy recipe is a must make! 

One of the hardest things about going gluten-free is missing so many of your favorite foods. Those comfort food-type recipes. The ones we have been making for years. The family recipes that our mothers and grandmothers have always made. The traditional and regional recipes have been handed down for generations.

The comfort foods we turn to when we are sick or celebrating a holiday. Or that recipe that makes you think of your neighbor when you were a kid. We all have recipes like that. Those recipes that we long to have again, but have not been able to get just right.

For my family, one of those recipes is biscuits and gravy. My husband and kids love them. They miss them. My husband remembers having biscuits and gravy often growing up. His mother and grandmother used to make them all the time. He missed them when we first went gluten-free.

Now a side note about my family. We never ate biscuits and gravy growing up. Like really never. I grew up in Oregon, very far from the south, and the tradition of biscuits and gravy. The first time I had biscuits and gravy was when my husband and I were dating. When I told his mother that I had never had biscuits and gravy, she immediately set to work on fixing that and served them to me.

The first few times I had them I was not overly impressed, but I have grown to really enjoy them. And I quickly learned why biscuits and gravy are so popular. They are a really easy and inexpensive meal to serve. After I got married I served them quite often because they were a very cheap meal to serve that my husband loved.

You can easily take just a little sausage meat and make it stretch by using it in biscuits and gravy. And you can even use just some bacon grease to flavor it and make it even cheaper meatless.

Biscuits and gravy ended up on our menu often and I really did miss them when we went gluten-free. And since my husband and kids really missed them too, I knew I had to figure out how to make them gluten-free.

I have both a gluten-free biscuit recipe and a gluten-free sausage gravy recipe on my site, but I recently realized that I have never posted a gluten-free biscuit and gravy recipe. And yes it is pretty easy to just find a gluten-free biscuit recipe and a gluten-free gravy recipe and serve them together, but I wanted to be sure to share the recipes I used to make a meal of gluten-free biscuits and gravy.

So here is how we eat gluten-free biscuits and gravy.

I take my basic gluten-free drop biscuit and we cover it in my gluten-free sausage gravy.

Yes, it is that easy, but it is so good.

And it makes for a really easy gluten-free breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This is a meal you can serve anytime. It is gluten-free comfort food at its best!
