We’ve all heard of breakfast for dinner, but we don’t often think of skillet meals like this. I’m happy to report that my whole family enjoyed this meal! I was told that it would be good with a side of potatoes. That’s, of course, what I was thinking too! So, next time I whip up this recipe I will be adding that to the meal.
What is “Brinner”
“Brinner” is a common term for “Breakfast for dinner”. So, instead of having pancakes and bacon in the morning you would have it in the evening for dinner. In this case we are having meat, eggs and gravy (and potatoes next time!)
