We tried this last night, I did make a couple of changes. I used soy milk, and added a small amount of onion powder and made homemade biscuits. For us, I will add chopped onion with the celery and experiment with some perhaps tobasco, next time. It is a good recipe that one can use as is, or add flavor to ones taste.

I am not one for biscuits and gravy, but this looked interesting. It turned out to be very good. I omitted the celery, but did add the corn and pimentos (not the green peppers). I highly recommend adding the pimentos. They have such a great taste that went very well with the other flavors in this dish. This dish was also very filling!
