Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole
You know what’s a great phrase for a satisfying meal? Sticks to your ribs.
Sure, it’s kind of goofy. At first, it sounds like the food is supposed to stick to your ribs from the outside, as if you were wearing a vest made out of pancakes or something. But once you realize it’s sticking to your ribs from the inside, then it just really captures the whole idea of a meal that will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
Our family has been making Biscuits & Gravy for as long as I can remember. It’s one of our classic go-to breakfast recipes and it’s a dish we make every year for our annual White Elephant Exchange.
We recently saw a recipe for a Biscuits and Gravy Casserole recipe that we were anxious to try (from Jamie Cooks it Up). So glad we did, because it was awesome!
This recipe is bursting with flavor and was a cinch to put together. We love that it’s so simple and can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch or even brinner (breakfast for dinner).
My Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Casserole is a hot breakfast that will really stick to your ribs. Not a dainty little coffee-and-Danish breakfast, which is tasty but melts away by mid-morning. This here is a breakfast that will keep you chugging along right until lunchtime.
