Ok, I am a southern girl! Growing up, we had this every weekend! Mom would make huge biscuits and a pan of Tomato gravy! Oh my god! When my sister and brothers get together this is what we eat for breakfast! Can't think of a better comfort food. Read more Mom made the best! I really miss her! See less
