Biscuits & Gravy O'Brien
Basically two dishes thrown together: Biscuits & Gravy and Potatoes O'Brien.
Biscuits & Gravy
- 4 bacon strips, fried & drained
- 3 leftover cooked sausage links, fried, drained & sliced thin
- 1/2 C to 3/4 C Bisquick Baking Mix
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- 1 C milk (or more to regulate gravy consistency)
- 1 container Jiffy or Pillsbury Biscuits
Cook biscuits according to package directions; set aside. Fry bacon in a large skillet until crisp; drain on paper towels. Important: Reserve grease in skillet. Fry link sausage in a skillet until cooked; drain on paper towels and then slice. Add Bisquick Baking Mix to grease in skillet; brown over medium to medium-high heat and mash lumps with a fork or a whisk. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Add milk, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Add more milk if necessary to thin gravy. Keep in mind the longer you stir over high heat the thicker the gravy will become. Add link sausage slices, stir and heat through. When desired gravy consistency is reached, remove from heat and set aside.
Potatoes O'Brien
- 3-4 russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cleaned & cubed small
- 1/2 green bell pepper, cleaned & diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, cleaned & diced
- 1/2 small yellow onion or 1 shallot, diced
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Butter or nonstick cooking spray
Peel and wash potatoes under cold water. Slice potatoes lengthwise, then lengthwise again (so they resemble long French fries). Cube the lengths into small pieces. Set aside. Clean and de-seed the bell peppers, removing the white rinds inside the peppers. Cut lengthwise and dice small. Peel outer layer of small yellow onion, also removing transparent skin. Cut two or three slices, and then mince small. Add butter or nonstick cooking spray to a skillet; heat on medium. Add potatoes; season with salt and black pepper. Add bell peppers and onions; mix well. Continue to cook over medium heat, turning over with spatula until potatoes are brown and tender, and onions are translucent. Set aside.
To assemble Biscuits & Gravy O'Brien:
In a casserole dish, layer bottom with Potatoes O'Brien, followed by link sausages and one layer of biscuits topped with gravy. Place in microwave or oven just to heat through. Serve.
