Breakfast Pizza

This is one of my favorite breakfast to make ever but it is time consuming for sure. However, if you are smart, unlike me, you can make and cook the pizza crust the day before and have it ready for the next morning, then all you have to do is make your eggs, bulldog gravy (this is what my granny calls it), bacon and sausage. But it is what it is.. Making the dough fresh is one of my favorite things to smell and do. It is super easy when you have a good quality bread machine ( Amazon store front ). Bulldog gravy is something my granny made all the time for us, it was a treat of course due to it mainly being bacon grease, flour and milk. 😂 Start with cooking your bacon, use that for the gravy.  Bulldog Gravy: 1/4-1/2 Cup Bacon Grease 1/4 Cup Flour Milk (I just pour until its not thick then thicken it) Salt & Pepper, to taste -Place grease in sauce pot, warm up. Add flour and cook off for 1-2 mins be sure to whisk often. Now, pour milk, I usually just add enough milk to thin out the

Crockpot Hot Chocolate

The BEST hot chocolate I have ever had or made! This hot chocolate has become a VERY traditional drink around the holidays and winter time. We find that we have to make sure to have the ingredients on hand and ready for whenever we want hot cocoa and boy it does not disappoint. Winter this year has been absolutely horrible here in Ohio, not to sure why but oooo I am over it. Needless to say my crockpot has been getting a workout with hot chocolate and apple cider. I keep telling myself, it is almost over, you can make it through the -2 degree weather! But it is very hard to do since it never gets this cold here; in the 6 years I lived here it has never been this cold.
                   
You Will Need:
Homemade Marshmallows
6 Cups Milk
14 oz. Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
2 Cups Chocolate Chips
Add milk, heavy cream and vanilla to the crockpot. Add chocolate chips. Add condensed milk. Cook on low for 2 hours, stirring often. Before serving whisk well to break up any chunks of chocolate
Enjoy this yummy-ness! (I put caramel around my husbands cup inside, added marshmallows then the cocoa. Topped it with Chocolate Glazed Donut from Flavor God. He said it is the best hot cocoa he has ever had. Let me know what y'all think!
