Sometimes I can’t fall asleep at night. My mind is reeling with things I did that day, things that I should have done and then what I need to do the next day. Does anyone else do this? There are also some nights where I can’t stop thinking about a new recipe that popped into my mind early. What will it taste like and would it actually work.
This was one of those recipes that kept me up one night. Biscuits and sausage gravy is such a classic southern comfort dish. I wanted to amp it up a bit by making this Bacon and Mushroom gravy. It’s so delicious on my Cheddar and Chive Biscuits but, I’m thinking it would be fabulous over baked chicken as well!
