These are NOT your ordinary biscuits!

These are biscuits and gravy Mexican Style.

Fluffy and high these Cheddar Biscuits are perfect for this gravy.

Truth be told about gravy. I LOVE it, I love it on french fries, mashed potatoes, it’s so yummy I really like dunking stuff in gravy.

Old El Paso asked me to create a recipe using their traditional refried beans and really when I dreamt this one up I wasn’t sure how it would turn out. But believe me, two batches of biscuits later the gravy was a huge hit, my kids saw me writing this up and they mentioned again how much they loved the gravy. Even my pickier eater loved it. I think he wanted me to stop everything and whip up a batch as we were speaking.

I was asked by General Mills to create a recipe for Old El Paso Refried Beans. All opinions are my own.
