Biscuits & Gravy Crockpot Casserole

Crockpot cooking is the best way to cook while camping besides the grill or campfire. It’s a no brainer for an easy breakfast. I could have sworn I already shared this recipe but I cannot locate it so here it goes.. 

**Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat, if you’ve got left over sausage gravy from a previous meal, use it! Don’t waste your time making new gravy if you don’t have to. Skip the sausage in the crockpot (it’s already in your gravy).**
