Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Granny would make this and wow--- we all loved it!

Recipe says you can just use refrigerated biscuit dough, but SO good this way.

This was a Granny favorite served up hot and delicious to the McKinney kids. Being honest, it is still one of my favorites. On a cold day, I love making this dish.
Granny's touch was adding the bacon, and using the refrigerated biscuit dough eliminates some of the prep time.
Enjoy this one.
