If you are a lover of biscuits and gravy, you’ll adore these Extreme Cheddar Biscuits and Gravy! Double the meat and triple the flavor!
Ok you guy’s…I’m a huge lover of Brinner. What’s that you may ask? Well its breakfast for dinner, brinner. We have it all the time since I’m a huge lover of omelettes and eggs that I want to eat that throughout the day most of the time that I can’ help myself.
One of our favorite breakfast foods is Biscuits and Gravy. I also believe that if you can cook, even to the littlest extent, biscuits and gravy is one thing that you should learn how to make!
Today, I’m going to take it up a notch and gie you Extreme Cheddar Biscuits and Gravy!
What makes it extreme? Well….normally with biscuits and gravy you have regular buttermilk biscuits (ok sometimes I cheat and use refrigerated) and sausage gravy.
Well these delicious pieces of heaven have double the meat AND cheddar biscuits! What?!?! MMM-HMMMMM, that’s right. Sausage patties top these cheesy delicious biscuits and then are slathered in even more sausage from the gravy! HEAVEN!
A little scared to make your own biscuits? These are super simple, I let my food processor do most of the work for me. The hardest part is trying to decide if you should make more biscuits out of the scraps of dough leftover from when you cut out the biscuit rounds or not!
So I urge you, keep this super simple recipe on hand for those times where dinner you happen to just have a hankering for breakfast!

I love me some brinner too – the one meal I could eat ALL day long! And one of my husband’s favorite things to order out at brunch is a half side of biscuits and gravy. Plus, being Southern, and loving me some biscuits, I pretty much HAVE to make this dish! Yum!!
