A recipe similar to this Cheesy Sausage Biscuit Skillet is pictured on my kitchen calendar.  All month, fourth son has been staring at it and mentioning it as he walks by it.  When I told him that I was actually going to be making it for dinner, he  was a happy camper.

Cheese and Sausage Biscuit Skillet #bread #breakfast***ANNOUNCEMENT*** I have started a new blog that is called Just Me, Gluten Free.  From now on, that is where all my gluten free recipes will live and where new ones will be published.  Frugal Antics will be the home of any full gluten foods I make.Each year, around November, I start looking for free calendars for the upcoming year.  Sometimes I score great food calendars and other times, I am stuck with public service announcement type calendars.  Free is the optimal word.  I have some clip magnets that hold the calendar to my refrigerator where everyone can see what’s going on.  Usually I have other important reminders clipped to the top, hiding the actual calendar picture, so I am not picky about the pictures in my calendars (as long as they are G rated, of course).

This year, I lucked out and got a Pillsbury calendar.  The gorgeous pictures have elicited all sorts of teasing from my kids,  hoping that I will make the recipes.  This month, when I sent out my usual, “What do you want me to put on the meal calendar?” My fourth son piped up with”That food on the fridge!”  I took a closer look at the Cheesy Southwest Skillet and knew that I could do something like it without too much trouble.  It just meant that I needed to have some gluten free backup plan for my meal.Cheese and Sausage Biscuit Skillet #bread #breakfast

Truth be told, when I actually got around to making this recipe, I didn’t do anything southwest at all.  I skipped the hot sausage, red peppers and Jack cheese.  Instead, I used mild sausage and Cheddar.  I used green bell peppers so that no one would accuse me of trying to sneak tomatoes into their meal (ahem! like I would do that?!?)

The results were eaten with gusto.  No leftovers.  Three people had seconds.  The original meal was meant to have 12 servings, but I cut it into 8.

This would also be great using ground beef or taco meat.
