I’ve shared my recipe for these homemade biscuits with you before, and they continue to be favorite in our family. In addition, I have shared this easy sausage gravy recipe, but recently we’ve been enjoying this mouthwatering Bacon Gravy from Pioneer.

Easy Bacon Gravy

Add the Pioneer Smoky Country Bacon Gravy and you have an easy, scrumptious breakfast that will please your family and guests alike. This recipe is so easy, Dad and the kids could put it together to make Mother’s Day that much more special for Mom. 

I love Pioneer’s Bacon flavor of gravy because it has the perfect hint of smokiness to it, in addition to a delicious bacon flavor. It’s as if I had smoked our bacon all day to produce this easy gravy mix.

If you love the ease of using gravy mixes like we do, check out my Ham and Potato Casserole and Sausage Gravy Biscuit Cups. Both of these recipes are tasty and easy to put together, so they will make  hearty breakfasts a snap! I love having these types of recipes in my back pocket.
