My grandmother always added a splash of water at the beginning of mashing up ground beef or sausage. It makes the meat crumble into smaller pieces and the water evaporates.
Im from Ontario Canada but I visited my grandparents in Southern Indiana during the summers of my childhood. My grandma often made this and i craaaave it, especially now that im pregnant 😅
After adding the flour and cooking it like you did, I add about a half cup of cold water to temper the flour (which makes a fluffy paste-like consistency) before adding cold milk - this is how I was taught to guarantee no lumps. I was told the cold liquid causes the fats to seize up so as it warms back up after adding the milk, it disperses the flour gradually which makes it smooth with no lumps. So far, it's never failed. The preference in my house is also a pepper gravy that happens to have lots of sausage in it, so I end up adding LOTS of ground pepper plus some chili flakes.
Just made some sausage gravy, I'm using frozen biscuits cooked in the air fryer because I can just make one or two when I want them rather than a big batch. I used one of those big plastic tubes of Jimmie Dean sausage and pinched off small pieces to toss in the pan. Judging from the video, my technique was less annoying than trying to break up everything with the spoon 🙂
Interesting. Similar to creamed chipped beef on toast here in Philly. I'm gonna try this with Bob Evans sausage roll chopped up. Yummy! Oh, they call the chipped beef, s.o.s. here. I love it.
Ever since I came back to my country, Mexico. I have not eaten biscuits and gravy. I can´t wait to cook your recipe. With a little luck, I hope to find that type of sausage. Thanks a lot
Wondering if this would be nice with a curry paste added to the gravy. Would make a wonderful main meal. Could use tiny pieces of chicken instead of sausage. Just a thought
Anyone else see those sausages clutching that towel for dear life while screaming "NO! NO! Please don't drop us onto that hot metal! Help, have mercy! Stop....ARRGHHH! Oh, the sausagisity!?" Nah, I didn't think so. (This is me ignoring the live election coverage as best I can.)
Love your videos and the subscription! Anytime I smoke meat, I throw in 4 pound blocks of Jimmy Dean and give them an hourish smoke bath (not cook through). Then I vacuum seal for the freezer....changes the game for gravy or anything else. Also pound chunks of ground beef to burgers or sloppy joe.
I make mine almost the same way. But instead of adding pepper flakes, I add a splash of hot sauce. I know, sounds crazy. My wife turned me on to using it and it’s really good. Adds a lot of flavor to the gravy. I use Cholula original. Give it a try.
It looks delicious! I remember reading GWTW as a child and being very confused about Scarlett eating gravy with a biscuit, thinking that it was what we would call a biscuit, what in the USA is called a cookie! This makes more sense to me! I do want to try American biscuits one day. They look amazing! Thank you for the video!
I tried adding the flour to the meat to start the roux and build that way... however I feel it didn’t come out as well as removing the sausage, building the roux, then adding the sausage back. 🤷🏽♀️
This is such an unusual dish for me, an Australian (not least because what you call a biscuit, we call a scone, and scones are eaten with sweet things here), but it sounds amazing and i'm totally making it.
As a southern person who never liked a lot of breakfast foods and doesn’t eat a lot of meat….. I still have always loved biscuits and gravy. It looks blah but tastes great. Key is to get a good biscuit and topping it off with sausage gravy is perfection. ❤
I'm sure you will find it enjoyable...just make sure you are making an American, southern biscuit. They are not necessarily sweet, but they can be a little...should be very light and fluffy and/or flaky with layers...not as much as a croissant, though. Very buttery. Some recipes even instruct to melt a puddle of butter in the bottom of a baking dish and then add the already butter-filled biscuit dough to the puddle of butter...they are amazing! 7UP biscuits are often baked in a dish of melted butter. (7Up is a clear, lemon-lime carbonated soda drink.) I personally have mixed feelings about sausage. I like it, but find it filling and prefer it to be chopped up in much smaller pieces, but that's personal preference. But, I do love biscuits and gravy (with lots salt and black pepper)! And we do eat biscuits with sweet fruit jelly or fruit preserves or fruit jam (all three are similar) or honey or apple butter. We also deep fry them, sprinkle them with powdered sugar and eat them with apple butter.
Find a very good southern biscuit recipe. They are easy to make and avoid any recipe that involves sugar...I would give you my mother's, but I'll leave that exploration to you. Enjoy. And if you watch the reaction of British students trying biscuits and gravy the first time on the Jolly channel, I think you'll see a representation of what you might experience when you try these for the first time.
I make this often but I remove the sausage before adding the flour. It makes it so much easier to stir. I also prefer to used canned evaporated milk, it speeds up the reducing step. Add the sausage back in and yum!
I don't like gravy with meat in it...yes I know it's weird 😊, so I add my sausage to the biscuit and jalapeño cheese to my biscuit dough. And make cream gravy to put on top or just have the biscuit by itself along with my coffee.
I'm from Cleveland oh. I've always use bob Evans breakfast sausage. Never tried sausage links but now I will. Also just from this video I came across I will definitely subscribe and see what else you got. I will also try your biscuits recipe one thing I never done
Have you ever considered chopping up the sausage BEFORE you put it in the frying pan? It would be quicker asnd easier than trying to break it up with a wooden spoon, and you would be sure to cook all of the sausage thoroughly.
I love biscuits and gravy. I have to make my own breakfast sausage as it’s not available in France. The sausage here is very tasty, but it’s not the same.
Looks great! Crushed cayenne pepper is always up in the air as to how much to add. I grow my own...they are always so, so much hotter that what I find in the grocery store. A little of my garden cayenne pepper goes a long way! 🥵
I love sausage gravy, but biscuits and tomato gravy is a close second. It's not as commonly known, even in the South it's hit or miss when I ask someone if they've heard of it or tried it (I hadn't until recently) but it's so good. I've never tried making it myself though, I order it from one of my favorite restaurants. It took me a long time to feel brave enough to try it, actually, because it just sounds weird. But it's good! It doesn't taste like anything else I can describe, it's just its own thing.
I was raised eating mater gravy. My mom would use her home canned tomatoes to make hers and yes, it's delicious! We had all sorts of gravies growing up. Sausage, mater, corned beef (3 different kinds), coffee, red eye and even chocolate gravy. I don't make gravy often but their memories are delicious still, including tomato gravy.
I like to add a little cognac to my meat and let it cook out before adding milk, through in a little butter too for extra glass and flavor. Sometimes a a few lemon juice at the end to make it brighter.
Hi my name is Debbie Hughes I live down in Bradenton Florida I grew up on sausage gravy an hamburger gravy and bologna gravy the same way you just did that that's add chicken gravy chicken liver gravy
I like it with a spicy sausage. Jimmy dean is fine for this, also I love an over easy egg on top, the yolk mixes with the gravy on the plate and I’m in heaven.
JOHN!!!! This is crazy. Hubby and I just got back from four wonderful days in Nashville with four other couples. One of my favorite things to eat in the South is Biscuits and gravy!!!! I did have my share over the four days, as well as grits!!! LOL. I need to detox from all the heavy food for a few days, and then I will look forward to making this recipe from you. I swear, another channel I follow uploaded shrimp and grits yesterday. What a coincidence!!!!
I do very similar but start with the a single slice of finely diced bacon in the pan with the sausage. It adds great flavor, helps render the sausage and keeps the pan lubricated.
I use a berry masher to break up the sausage and get it browned in small pieces. Most of the brand name sausages have enough fat I go with four tablespoons of flour, and four cups of milk, though I bet you could go with more. I just season with salt and black pepper, but this is really just more of a technique than an exact recipe. Try it a few times and you'll figure out what you and yours like. The one thing that I've found is that so long as the flour is mixed in well, it coats the sausage and doesn't result in lumps of roux, and so you can just pour all the milk in at once.
My grandmother always added a splash of water at the beginning of mashing up ground beef or sausage. It makes the meat crumble into smaller pieces and the water evaporates.
I do this too
I also add hatch green Chile’s to it! Yummy.
I sprinkled a little bit of sage on top. Sooo good!
Im from Ontario Canada but I visited my grandparents in Southern Indiana during the summers of my childhood. My grandma often made this and i craaaave it, especially now that im pregnant 😅
I like mine with poached eggs on top . He walks you thru the recipes with ease and explains all things well.
You put the gravy on top of the eggs? Like eggs Benedict?
I’ve made it twice now very easy and delicious

STOP! I am currently pregnant and craving biscuits and gravy. lol coincidentally, I was like I haven't seen a Preppy kitchen vid in a while. Whatttt 😂
Watching this rn while pregnant, and when it's over, I'll be googling "best biscuit and gravy restaurants near me" lol 😅 iykyk
I add 2 TBSP of butter to my sasuage while it's cooking. 😊
yup me too, right before the flour stage.
I add a pad of butter to oatmeal. It makes it thinner and taste better.
Me too. That extra bit of fat allows you to make more gravy. Plus butter makes everything better

I used one of those big plastic tubes of Jimmie Dean sausage and pinched off small pieces to toss in the pan.

I do something kinda similar, I make a big batch and keep it in the fridge and just reheat it on the stove top while my biscuits are baking
Oh, yes. Fall breakfasts. I'm making this for Sunday brunch 😊.

I love biscuits and gravy. My recipe is similar to your recipe except I use Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage in my gravy to give it some spice kick. 😋
Ever since I came back to my country, Mexico. I have not eaten biscuits and gravy. I can´t wait to cook your recipe. With a little luck, I hope to find that type of sausage. Thanks a lot
made a low carb cheddar bay biscuit. used tuscan sausage with sazon, onion and savory seasonings.
used heavy cream for the gravy.
I love love love this!! Thank you so much
Maryland beaten biscuits are particularly good with gravy.
I make a chorizo gravy that I’m obsessed with 😍 your recipe looks amazing too!!
My Aunt from the south did hers with 2 cups of water and 1 can of evaporated milk.
Funny, I always put my sausage in a cold pan then on low heat to render the fat out and then crank up the heat. I rarely have much stickage.
Looks yummy. 👍
I freaking love biscuits 'n gravy.
I love making haystacks. Top hasbrowns with a fried egg or two, cover in gravy, and serve with a biscuit on the side. Best breakfast ever!
I love your channel so much. I come here whenever I need to take a break from the horrors of the internet.
Wondering if this would be nice with a curry paste added to the gravy. Would make a wonderful main meal. Could use tiny pieces of chicken instead of sausage. Just a thought
Now, I’m hungry 🤤
I have to limit my carbs while on a weight loss journey. This is one of my cheat meals. Thank you for the video..
I wish this guy was my neighbor 😊 the aroma would be incredible from his house. ❤
I'd be over every day! 😂

Our biscuits are like your savory scones!
That WOULD be confusing!!! 😂
Omg! I love biscuits and gravy😋🤤❤
At 1:45. Why not just use ground sausage in the first place?
Ideas: Can you please make chicken friend rice or like a stir fry ? Also, Spanish rice and enchiladas? Thank you
I tried adding the flour to the meat to start the roux and build that way... however I feel it didn’t come out as well as removing the sausage, building the roux, then adding the sausage back. 🤷🏽♀️
Good on toast, too.
My absolute favorite comfort meal from my favorite cook!❤ Thank you!
Im here in the uk we don't have breakfast Sausage so what sausage would use here
Any kind of sasuage, you can add herbs if you get plain sasuage.
Pork sausage is best. IMO
I'm sure my husband would love this with pasta
Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Thank you so much for your videos! ❤
That consistency is PERFECT
Looks delicious....❤❤❤❤❤ Weekend breakfast coming up.
Looks sooooooo delicious 😋
Love it! I also enjoy sawmill gravy on grits. Sheer heaven!
Great video John😊😊
How do you keep the sauce so white? Mine always comes out light brown.

Being a Mediterranean person, this type of breakfast is out of my habits, but it looks so delicious that I will definitely make it for my family .
@@matthewcondon1985 Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely make my own scones/biscuits and do it the Southern way.
Looks tasty. 😋
What type of milk?
Can you use other types of meat like
Beef
Pork
Chicken?
So good friend thank you very much bless to your family much appreciated 👏
Love me some biscuits and gravy!
This one favorite breakfast meal
Do you ever make ham gravy?
I make this often but I remove the sausage before adding the flour. It makes it so much easier to stir. I also prefer to used canned evaporated milk, it speeds up the reducing step. Add the sausage back in and yum!
Can of Pet Milk, that's how we always did it. Sausage in the tube also. It's a southern thang 😂
We had this for dinner last night. Delicious!
This was awesome, I need a good laugh in the morning and wife got mad at me for spilling coffee on the rug but it was worth it, you Rock 👍
What brand of sausage. Looks so good.
We add white pepper. Yummy
What company makes your cook top?
I don't like gravy with meat in it...yes I know it's weird 😊, so I add my sausage to the biscuit and jalapeño cheese to my biscuit dough. And make cream gravy to put on top or just have the biscuit by itself along with my coffee.
I was literally thinking about making this today. How do you always know?!!!
Wow yummy

I use a beef bouillon or 2 to darken up the gravy or some kitchen bouquet.
Lovely home style classic. Comforting and filling. Love this. All the best to you and yours!
