SUBSCRIBE BY EMAILCreamy, comforting, and delicious, this skillet dish is loaded with veggies. Creamy Skillet Veggie Bake with Homemade Drop Biscuits is an easy dish to make, and those biscuits! You’ll love it.
When my mom came to visit recently, I was really excited that she brought me my dad’s booklet of recipes for many of his delectable baked goods. He used to make these sweets for all the special occasions in our family, and boy do I miss him and those goodies.
The only problem with my dad’s recipes: they make HUGE quantities. My dad worked in a bakery, so the recipes are based on quantities a bakery would make. I’ll have to break out my calculator and do some serious testing when I try to make some of these sweets!
There were a few random recipes, handwritten on cards, tucked into his little baking booklet. I decided to try one titled, “Vegetable Bake.” Neither my mom nor I remember this recipe that was in my mom’s handwriting, but I changed some things up and gave it a go.
It turned out to be a no-go. More like a total yuck. A few weeks later, I came across that recipe again, and decided to use it as an inspiration for my Creamy Skillet Veggie Bake with Homemade Drop Biscuits. I really wanted to add biscuits to this dish since I had been craving them.
I added fresh thyme to the biscuit mixture, which was a nice complement to all the vegetables in this dish. If you don’t like the veggies I included in this recipe, add your favorites to the mix. There was really no rhyme or reason for what I chose. I mostly wanted to use what I had on hand.
Creamy Skillet Veggie Bake with Homemade Drop Biscuits is total comfort food. It will make you feel cozy, and bring a delicious warmth to your table.
