Cheesy Bacon Biscuit Bake
We had breakfast for lunch! This was OK but I thought, to dry, way to dry! The recipe called for 3 cans of regular sized biscuits but after I quartered the first 2 cans I thought, No way am I using 3! Baking dish was full and the biscuits were soaking up the eggs! It really needed some half & half mixed in there but I didn't realize it until I taste tested it before serving! I knew I had to do something to freshen it up! I know, make gravy with the leftover bacon grease! So I whipped up some gravy! Much better!
My family had a better idea! Let's dip it in maple syrup! Needless to say, that was the trick for them! They loved it! So all in all, after some doctoring up, it was a pretty good dinner whether you used gravy or syrup! If I make it again, I will be adding some half & half to the egg mixture and skip the onion powder! I didn't care for the taste of onion powder in this dish! That's just me though!
You can find the original recipe on Southern Girl Ramblings Blog momerish.com/cheesy-bacon-biscuit-breakfast-bake/
2 cans biscuits (regular size)
6 eggs
12 ounces bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 350°
Spray a 9x13 baking dish.
Whisk eggs and spices in bottom of baking dish.
Cut biscuits into quarters and fold into eggs.
Gently mix in cooked and crumbled bacon and cheese.
Bake 25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.
I made some gravy at this point using the leftover bacon grease. Add a few tablespoons of flour, making a roux, and then some milk and salt and pepper, cooking until it thickens up.
