Adding a little mashed sweet potato to the biscuits gives them a beautiful orange color and a hint of sweetness which pairs wonderfully with the spicy chorizo in the gravy.

Chorizo Gravy

Chorizo can sometimes be a little difficult to find in certain areas. I use mail-order chorizo from The Naked Pig. They have a small family farm in North Carolina where they raise pastured pigs and 100% grass-fed beef without adding hormones or antibiotics. If you are looking for superior beef and pork products check out their website.

Sausage Gravy is just about the easiest thing you can make. Just brown the chorizo in a pan, remove it with a slotted spoon, leaving the grease. Add butter and flour to make a roux and then mix in milk. Once thickened, add the chorizo back to the pan.
