Biscuits and gravy are about as hearty of a breakfast combo as you can get, and From Scratch adds some nuance to this monster meal. A velvety, heavy-on-the-cream gravy and well-seasoned sausage patties cover two biscuits airy as pillows. If that’s not enough to fill your gut, get a cup of brisket chili on the side like travel TV host Guy Fieri did. For most mortals, however, this savory meal is more than enough to power you through your morning.
