Cooking Times:

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons margarine
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• A dash of salt
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups milk
• 2 slices American cheese
• 2 cups Bisquick
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup half-and-half cream
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sausage Gravy:

   • In a medium saucepan, sauté margarine, onions, celery, and a dash of salt over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

2. Cook the Sausage:

   • Add the Jimmy Dean sausage to the saucepan and continue cooking until the sausage is fully cooked, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.

3. Simmer:

   • Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

4. Add Flour:

   • Sprinkle flour over the sausage mixture, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes until the flour is fully incorporated and begins to brown slightly.

5. Incorporate Milk and Cheese:

   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the milk, cream, and American cheese slices until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.

6. Thicken the Gravy:

   • Return the saucepan to low heat and bring the gravy to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired thickness. If the gravy becomes too thick, you can add a little extra milk to adjust the consistency.

7. Season to Taste:

   • Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt and pepper. The flavorful sausage usually adds enough seasoning, but feel free to customize it to your preferences.

8. Prepare the Cheese Biscuits:

   • In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and lemon juice to create a buttermilk substitute.

9. Combine Ingredients:

   • In another bowl, combine the Bisquick, shredded cheddar cheese, sugar, and garlic salt. Then, using a fork, gently stir in the milk mixture until just combined.

10. Bake the Biscuits:

    • Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or if you prefer, roll out the dough and cut it into biscuit shapes. Bake in a preheated oven at 350ºF for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

11. Optional:

    • For an extra touch of indulgence, brush the warm biscuits with melted margarine or butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
