Ok, pancakes and waffles and made-to-order eggs are all breakfast staples, but what about having an arsenal of breakfast options that don’t require standing over a hot stove while you prepare each person’s order individually? While we love all the aforementioned brekky items, we much prefer having something that will serve a crowd all at once, allowing us to sit down and actually enjoy breakfast with our loved ones; here, we’ve got a chicken sausage breakfast bake for you that tastes great and allows you to do just that.
Full of eggs, chicken sausage and biscuits (and don’t forget the cheese!), our secret ingredient in this dish is McCormick® Simply Better Chicken Gravy. This is a ready-made gravy that has incredible flavor that you can achieve without the need to, again, stand over a stove…there are times when we really don’t like standing over a hot stove, if you hadn’t noticed.
Not only does using this ready-to-serve gravy provide you with amazing flavor throughout the dish, it also saves you time and several steps otherwise spent cooking up a storm instead of enjoying your meal already. Now if you’re a smarty pants who typically whips up a massive batch of gravy to then freeze part of so you’ll have it in the future – good on you, by the way – then feel free to use that, but for those of us who perhaps aren’t as prepared, this McCormick Simply Better Gravy knocks it out of the park. It’s made with McCormick spices, has no artificial flavors and no added MSG. This dish is a full, all-in-one meal that will have everyone raving. You’ll see, one bite and you’ll be hooked!
