Ive watched it dozens of times, with each viewing inspiring new questions.
How did Garth Brooks come to require garlic and cheese tortellini in his Breakfast Bowls?
(I have nothing but respect for this;breakfast pasta is a legitimate life choice.
Im just curious.)
Whence the namesake Bowl?
Why not serve the components individually?
And, because I truly dont know whats good for mewhere the hell is the gravy?
The world does not need this; I made it anyway, and I refuse to apologize.
This last question, the newest and by far the most perverse, set me on a dangerous path.
The world does not need this; I made it anyway, and I refuse to apologize.
It should not come as a shock that Garths Breakfast CasserBowl is very, very good.
And, true to the spirit of the original, its extremely easy to put together.
Next, make the gravy.
Scoop out one big slotted spoonful and reserve it for the topping.
Add the flour to the skillet and stir for a minute, then gradually stir in the milk.
Simmer for five minutes until smooth and thick; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the gravy into a separate bowl, leaving a thin layer on the bottom of the skillet.
When the bacon and gravy are ready, its assembly time.
Take half the canned biscuits and tear them into smallish chunks.
Scatter those across the bottom of the gravy skillet.
Crumble all but a handful of the bacon over the top, then sprinkle on half the cheese.
Dollop half of the gravy over that.
Spread the tortellini evenly over the first layer of gravy, then pour the remaining gravy on top.
Add more cheese, reserving a handful or two for the topping.
If youd like, tear the remaining biscuits into strips and press them around sides of the skillet.
Press a piece of parchment onto the surface of the casserole and wrap tightly with foil.
Increase heat to 425oF.
Cool for about 10 minutes if you might stand it.
Serve in slices or scoops, topped with lots of hot sauce and maybe another sprinkle of cheese.
Now is not the time for restraint.
