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.
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
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 🙂
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!
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.
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.
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.)
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
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. 🤷🏽♀️
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.
You are burning the flour.... Turn your Heat down low when the sausage is near done. When it's cooler add your flour.... Let the grease fully absorb and then slowly add the milk. Also warm the milk slightly in the microwave.... BOOM😊
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!!!!
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'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
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.
@@jelenedressler only ever ate it once while visiting a friend in Oklahoma years ago, loved it....but never knew how to cook it till now. Sausage in UK for me anyway, is eaten either with mashed potato, peas and thick beef and onion gravy, or as part of an egg and bacon fry up breakfast, or as a casserole....but mostly on a butty ( bread and butter) with sauce on....brown or tomato. I also loved corn bread too
@@Lemonteadrinker I'm from Oklahoma and I've never heard of anyone putting thyme in their biscuits and gravy. I just use salt and pepper. I would also disagree with @jelenedressler this is a main dish for breakfast and you might have bacon, eggs, or hashbrowns as a side.
your videos have helped me improve in my cooking lately and i was wondering if you have a recipe for meatballs and a tomato sauce one that pairs with it : )
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!
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 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.
ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST ❤ YUMMY Throw a couple sticks of butter in there with that flour and sausage ☺️☺️ some cracked black pepper... Lil onion, some garlic 😋
This is completely alien to me as I am British and your biscuits are scones to us. The gravy thing is very different to our gravy but it all looks tasty and I would like to try making it.
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.
I must say I prefer a biscuit that can stand up to the gravy and not be just a soggy bread mess. That is a lot of sausage but boy it looks good and now I am hungry at 10pm!!!
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.
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
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 also add hatch green Chile’s to it! Yummy.
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 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
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 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. 😋
Oh, yes. Fall breakfasts. I'm making this for Sunday brunch 😊.
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.
My Aunt from the south did hers with 2 cups of water and 1 can of evaporated milk.
I’ve made it twice now very easy and delicious

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
made a low carb cheddar bay biscuit. used tuscan sausage with sazon, onion and savory seasonings.
used heavy cream for the gravy.
I make a chorizo gravy that I’m obsessed with 😍 your recipe looks amazing too!!
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.
I sprinkled a little bit of sage on top. Sooo good!
Looks yummy. 👍
I love your channel so much. I come here whenever I need to take a break from the horrors of the internet.
I love love love this!! Thank you so much

Our biscuits are like your savory scones!
That WOULD be confusing!!! 😂
Now, I’m hungry 🤤
Maryland beaten biscuits are particularly good with gravy.
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!
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 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! 😂
Love your videos and the subscription!

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
looks sooo good
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
Omg! I love biscuits and gravy😋🤤❤
Please try making turkey chorizo sausage gravy ❤
Ideas: Can you please make chicken friend rice or like a stir fry ? Also, Spanish rice and enchiladas? Thank you
I'm sure my husband would love this with pasta
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. 🤷🏽♀️
Great video John😊😊
At 1:45. Why not just use ground sausage in the first place?
Looks delicious....❤❤❤❤❤ Weekend breakfast coming up.
Sage, thyme, Worchestershire. Make it your own.
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.
What type of milk?
That consistency is PERFECT
Good on toast, too.
Thank you so much for your videos! ❤
How do you keep the sauce so white? Mine always comes out light brown.
You are burning the flour.... Turn your Heat down low when the sausage is near done. When it's cooler add your flour.... Let the grease fully absorb and then slowly add the milk. Also warm the milk slightly in the microwave.... BOOM😊
Jimmy Deans Hot is the best for gravy.
Looks sooooooo delicious 😋
Love it! I also enjoy sawmill gravy on grits. Sheer heaven!
Do you ever make ham gravy?
Looks tasty. 😋
Can you use other types of meat like
Beef
Pork
Chicken?
South Carolinian here, and I approve this message.
Former, sadly, agreed!!!

I was literally thinking about making this today. How do you always know?!!!
We had this for dinner last night. Delicious!
What brand of sausage. Looks so good.
Love me some biscuits and gravy!
It you prefer your sausage and gravy separate the recipe works the same if you just use the grease.
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 👍
Yum!!! Can’t wait to try this one, would oat milk work?? Gotta look up those biscuits videos now. Thank you!!
North Carolina here & approves also!!!! ❤
Love your channel! Was curious what is the name of the oven that you use? It's gorgeous 😍
We add white pepper. Yummy
Wow yummy

Yum….must try!

@@matthewcondon1985 Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely make my own scones/biscuits and do it the Southern way.
