One of my favorite "foodie" programs is Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives". I love to watch the things they make, the amount of effort that goes into a simple sandwich and the enormous amounts of food. Yum.

I have found that there are some American classics that are totally unknown to us and this recipe is my own version of an American favorite. The gravy is a type of mince in a white sauce and the biscuits are what we would know as scones.

It's quite different to anything I was brought up on but it is really tasty, easy to make and filling.
