The tomato/keilbasa filling is good, but almost a little heavy for the biscuit. The filling on it's own merit, is still very tasty, though. Speaking of the biscuit, this should be a separate recipe posting. It's sort of a cross between a biscuit and cornbread with a wonderful texture. Oooooohhhhh the creativeness that can stem from this biscuit base alone!Reply
