A Little Comfort Food

Ok y'all so I've been seeing this scrumptious looking biscuit and gravy bake floating around Facebook and decided it was worth trying out. I grew up on Southern comfort food so I knew it had to be good. It has biscuits, gravy, sausage, eggs and cheese all of which are comfort foods.

I made one slight change to the recipe though. I decided to use the grease from the sausage to make the gravy instead of using the butter. I love butter, don't  get me wrong, but the the flavor boost from the sausage grease is incredible.

So here are the simple and easy steps to making this dish.

Gather the following:

1 can of biscuits, I used Grands Buttermilk

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese

6 eggs

2-1/4 cups milk

salt and pepper to taste 

4 tablespoons reserved grease from the cooked sausage

4 tbls flour

Cut the biscuits and place them evenly in a greased 9x13 baking pan.

Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the biscuits.

Now do the same with your shredded cheese.

Set aside while you mix 6 eggs with 1/4 cup milk. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over the biscuit, sausage and cheese mixture. Now let's use the sausage grease and make some gravy. Whisk the grease with the 4 tbsp flour and stir and let bubble a few minutes to cook the flour. Add the 2 cups milk, salt and pepper to taste and stir and cook until thickened. Pour evenly on top of mixture. 

Cook at 350* for 35-45 minutes. I did mine for 40 minutes and it was perfectly done.
