My grandma always used the grease from the sausage or bacon to make her roux rather than butter and then added the meat back in after the milk. Remembering back to then I can almost taste it. So good.
I’ve made gravy twice in my life. Once with butter and once without, I cooked the sausage till it was probably done, and strained it over the same pan and set the meat aside while I added flower. The difference was when I used butter the gravy ended up "oily' and never really got thick like it was suppose to, the second time I just added the milk and it came together in about a minute and was awesome
I make it with butter,, never does it turn out oily! The sausage grease gets added as well! Turns out perfect every time! Just like what you saw there!
Almost the same way I was taught. We'd brown the sausage and then with the sausage still in the pan add flour and make the roux.. everything else the same. Mine always came out with a tinge of yellow but still fiya lol. We also called it shit on a shingle, but I understand he gots sponsors and its not on a slice of bread 😂
Do you notice how Bruces videos gets hundreds of thousands of views, while all the other ones don't make even ten thousand?, because Bruce is an original!, old school master cook and is unique, why isn't he in recent videos on this channel? they got all these new people on, we all have to request more bruce videos! WE WANT BRUCE!! WE WANT BRUCE!! WE WANT BRUCE!!
No offense to the Bruce fans but Kent Rollins has had his video up for 6 months and has 126k likes and doesn't make lumpy and raw flour gravy like Bruce does....
Mr Bruce Mitchell , YOUR THE BEST AND ONE OF THE TOUGHEST SOUTHERM MAN EVER! Great cook and Great alligator hunter ! I watch a lot of your videos . Your the real deal . Thanks for being a great teacher ! Thanks from your friend in Oregon Johnny
This is exactly how my grandma taught me how to make gravy. She is one of the most influential people in my life. If your grandma is still alive don’t forget to call her and drop in randomly to say hi. Amen to all those grandmas out their raising them up proper.
Rain makes food taste better. Use to serve biscuits and gravy where I worked as cook. Personally give me a side of onions and hot pepper sauce with that. Good eating for sure
Watching Bruce cook is like watching a genius at work, love the story about his grandma and her pot roast, my grandma was like that with fried chicken, I remember eating it cold the next day and really, who does that now? Also I thought she was a magician, when I was a kid and late for dinner once and there were no more mashed potatoes she had some made in like 2 minutes, I was a grownup before I realized she made them from instant. Bruce is right, Butter makes everything better. Thanks Bruce!!
Being from the hills of Appalachia we use the grease from the sausage to make the gravy, hence the name sausage gravy. I've cooked with butter like yours also but we used that gravy over buttered noodles. My grandma had a woodstove too. She could regulate the heat on top or in the oven of that two ton monstrosity with just the air vents that screwed in and out better than I can regulate my gas stove today! And talk about cook?! Man Oh man could she cook! Great video by the way. Thanks for bringing Grandma back to life, if just for a fleeting moment!
Raised in the swamps of Fla, I'm a true old Fla, boy Part Seminole. On my mothers side. I love watching Bruce grill and cook. And I got me a Blackstone after watching him cook all that good stuff. I still use my old grill but. Man dats good eating mighty fine. Thanks for sharing. ,
Thats totally different than how I make it or have ever saw anyone else make it. I don't understand how he didn't use the sausage grease but I gotta trust the process here. Can't wait to try this method.
We always fixed it the other way round, sausage in the skillet and then use the flour and milk to basically make a roux and deglaze all the leftover bits. To me gravy was just a way to not let any of the good stuff go to waste.
Yeah I can’t remember ever seeing anybody do it the way he did. I mean obviously it still makes gravy but I was always taught to fry up your sausage, and when it’s done pull it out and add your flour to that hot sausage grease and cook your roux until it’s how dark you want it. then add your milk and start whisking till it thickens up. That way it gets all those tasty tidbits off the bottom of that pan and gets them into your gravy. Damn… I’m getting hungry now!!
Obviously making everything in the skillet is the correct way, but he's being paid by Blackstone to use the griddle to make all sorts of meals, so he's going to use the griddle. I guarantee you he wouldn't make it this way at home. The fat from the sausage has such great flavor. You can still add butter, but the pork fat is the key. He also didn't use any onions, and I may have missed it, but I didn't see any black pepper. In my opinion, those two ingredients are a must.
I learned to cook from my grandma, and being in the kitchen with her since I was very young. She was great. Grew up in rural Tennessee, and my grandma had a garden. She canned all her vegetables. I learned biscuits and gravy from her. She always made her gravy with bacon grease instead of sausage. I’ll never forget she had an old metal coffee can container on her stove she poured bacon grease into. She used bacon grease in almost all she cooked. It was fire 🔥
I use sausage in my gravy but I make my rue with bacon grease that I keep in a jar on my stove! Bruce makes his here with butter and in my opinion everything is better with bacon grease… I even use it in my chocolate chip cookie recipe instead of butter! Try that sometime… makes some damn good cookies!
That is pretty much my story to a T. Although am here in Oklahoma. Learned so much from hanging around in the kitchen while my grandma cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner. Have very few memories of going and getting McDonalds or ordering a pizza while staying with my grandma because she always wanted to prepare a home cooked meal for us. A tradition I am passing along to my daughter from learning to cook from my grandma as well.
Same here buddy learned alot from my mamaw she canned n grew all our vegetables n made her gravy the same way I try to eat the way she taught me growing up. She still cuts her grass she's 85 n still grows a garden every year. If I use butter it's only the real stuff no margarine. The government is poisoning us with all these processed foods. People need to go back to this way of living.
6:15 What I wouldn't give to hug my Grandma again.. that woman knew how to feed people and love on them AND scold them at the same time.. WE ALL LOVE OUR GRANDMAS... I love what you do and HOW you do it.. down to earth.. REAL.. not fake or made for TV... Keep at fine sir!!! You have this veterans love and admiration!! Life as it should be lived...
It's a little hard to cook like your aunt or grandma even if they wrote the recipe to the tee. Unfortunately we lost a few recipes in our family. I appreciate you and your knowledge of cooking and handling out some motivation to make good biscuits and gravy!
I am one of the ones who would have added about 2 cups more milk to that gravy before I put in the sausage. Other than that, that was a great cook. Thanks Man.
Hack= brown the sausage in the skillet, instead of draining the grease, put the flower on the sausage with the grease and stir, then add the milk to the sausage/grease/flower and stir, I also always add beef base.
Bruce, I really enjoy all your videos. And the stories you tell about your grandma's cooking. Someone told me a while ago that every time an old person passes it's like losing a library.I believe it. Thanx again.
My Grandparents lived beside us on a farm in NC . I would sneak over and eat lunch or supper with them all the time she would say to me ya got to eat something that will stick to your ribs and last all day sure do love watching you cook on the Black stone
I am definitely a southern biscuits and gravy lover growing up I Kentucky I grew up on this staple. The only thing That I would do different than how you prepared it is, I brown the sausage in the skillet before I add the flour, and then I add the butter and flour to the browned sausage, let it cook in the sausage grease and butter, then I add the milk and start stirring in the salt and pepper and continue stirring until it boils and thickens. It adds so much flavor with the sausage grease. You can also add a little bacon grease to the sausage grease for even more flavor. When you pour the gravy over your biscuits, try stirring in some grape jelly, sounds strange but it’s awesome
Love these videos Bruce! My grandma could stand in the kitchen making gravy, talk on the phone, and swat you in the head (if you needed swattin') all at the same time. I'm an old guy now but remember all of this. My kids think I make up stories about growing up. Nope - all true! Thank you!
I'm a Maine yank and had a virginia fellah I worked with for a while and he would bring in biscuits and gravy. Best I ever had! Before he left I convinced him to give me his recipe, it is now one of my closely guarded secrets. Good video!
"2 more minutes on the biscuits." while holding up 3 fingers. LOL. Classic. My wife usually cooks the sausage (in a pan) first then adds the gravy makings to the pan to incorporate the sausage grease in the gravy. Also she uses evaporated milk instead of milk and no butter. The evaporated milk might take the place of using butter and it does give her sausage gravy a different taste from most others gravy. I will have to try this recipe out.
yes, I always cook the sausage and then save the grease and use that to make the gravy and then put the sausage back in. Grease replaces butter. Butter is used for bechamel sauce for cheese sauces.
From Louisiana, I, too also would cook the sausage first, remove it and then make the gravy, adding it back afterwards.... This is a good way "efficient" and easier way of doing it, and I like the basic ideas of it! I would only suggest (time permitting) cook your sausage first in the skillet, then make your gravy. Any more, as far as healthy (?) eating goes,,, all I can say is my grandma knew anything about cholesterol... She'd would have figured out a way to DEEP fry it in LARD as well,, and it would have been great!!!!!
It's love that makes the food irreplaceable. Your grandma made it with a certain type of love that can never be replaced. Don't need no other spices other than salt and pepper, it's the love that makes the food memories and those memories will never die. Adding true love to the food we make is heavenly. Thank you so much for your channel. You probably won't read this but your videos bring me peace. Thank you
Yes love biscuits and sausage gravy, with salt & pepperonly!!! My husband's grandma who is almost 100 yrs old browns the butter just a little bit; she like to eat the gravy over a garden fresh tomato 🍅 It actually is pretty good with the tomato 🧡🧡🧡🧡🖤🖤🧡🧡🧡 Love your videos Bruce ❤❤
Appreciation of our grand parents and what they tried to teach us comes from the mindset of that last great generation. I grew up on a cotton farm in central Mississippi spending lots of special times with my grandparents. Your cooking methods and recipes are strikingly similar to my grand parents except we didn’t have the same bountiful food resources as you do in south Louisiana. Watching your videos brings back a lot of great memories. Thanks so much for what you do.
Bruce I’m loving these episodes. I tune in cause well Blackstone. I watch ‘cause your recipes are so true and unique. I keep coming back for the stories. Brother don’t change a thing! 👍
I learned that exact same way of making that gravy watching my mom who was from West Virginia. It’s so good. I add some strips of bacon to the meal and I’m all set.
I made my first gravy the same way you did in this video. It was great! Hearing you talk about your grandma brings back memories of my grandma teaching me to cook!
A way to improve the flavor is to cook the sausage in the pan with the added butter, instead of on the flat top. That way, you get all the flavored renderings from the sausage into the mix instead of losing it on the grill. Once cooked, add the milk and flour as usual.
That was my thought, too. He wasted the sausage grease & lost the flavor that his grandmother most probably didn't. It also makes adjusting your seasonings easier.
You guys don’t actually even need the butter, simply brown the sausage in the pan and make the gravy roux from the grease of the cooked sausage. Sorry to me a whole stick of butter is a bit excessive.
I can watch all of the best, world class, chefs in the world and feel like I've learned something that furthers my education in cooking. Then I can watch Bruce and it nurtures my soul and passion for cooking. Thank you, Louisiana man. You make watching people cook feel special again. It's like sitting in the kitchen, listening to an elder talk about the good ole' days. Love it.
Just seeing a plate of biscuits and sausage gravy warms my soul to the core. It has been a long standing tradition as the main course for my family’s Christmas brunch and it doesn’t matter how many times I watch grandpa make the gravy…I still can’t make it quite like him.
I have been watching your cooking 🍳 😋 program for about two weeks now. I really like it when you talk about your grandmother I sure miss my two iam thinking about getting one of those stoves. You are a different person than were on Swamp People in a good way 👍.
You are the man. Grandmas knew how to cook and salt and pepper is all you need. That was some real breakfast you fixed there. Make sure you give the young ones cooking lessons and make them a family cookbook with tips and keep your history alive
My grandma didn’t use any spices but salt and paper. I don’t remember seeing any other spices or seasonings in her kitchen. But everything she made was so good! Most of my memories of her are her standing in front of her stove.
Oh !! My grandma would cook up a mess of biscuits and gravy in the morning whole house smelled so good and the taste I miss them and her and her homemade bread nothing like it good memories
Hello Bruce! I'm a 1st time viewer of your videos! I changed my notification bell to recieve all videos now! I like your style, hope to see you more often! Love biscuits n sausage gravy... thank you for sharing your family recipe. I bet your grandma would be proud!
My Mom made the best biscuits and gravy so now that she is gone I have to do it myself. She also made my favorite, chicken and dumplings. The good thing is I have all of her recipes.
This is genius marketing. I see y’all ;p honestly I respect it. It gives Bruce a chance to show his talents (and make us smile). Cant lie, I’m half convinced to buy a Blackstone Griddle and I live in Canada….in an apartment LMAO
I fully support Bruce's way of cooking outdoors and all his receipts. For this receipt, I always first cook at least 1/2 as much fried and chipped up bacon as I later do sausage and I cook the sausage in the leftover bacon grease, adding both to the gravy.
Been using Grandma's recipe from Putnam County GA out here in So Cal for 40 plus years. Just saw this and gave it a shot. Grandma's got some competition. Thanks, Bruce.
I'm gonna make this on the weekend. Then I want to find Bruce and just hang out for a while. Lots of stuff can and will go wrong, but we'll have fun and eat well!
Cream gravy made with bacon grease big ole cats head biscuits and some country ham. Oh and biscuits on the side with some over easy eggs on top of the gravy with a little red eye gravy or black sop on top. WOOOOOOOOOEEEEE! Makes a mountain man holler!
My grandma always used the grease from the sausage or bacon to make her roux rather than butter and then added the meat back in after the milk. Remembering back to then I can almost taste it. So good.

My mother made it with the bacon or sausage grease as well. So good!
WOW that's exactly what I'm making for supper... Biscuits & gravy and sausage and eggs...
I make it with butter,, never does it turn out oily! The sausage grease gets added as well!
Turns out perfect every time! Just like what you saw there!
Almost the same way I was taught. We'd brown the sausage and then with the sausage still in the pan add flour and make the roux.. everything else the same. Mine always came out with a tinge of yellow but still fiya lol. We also called it shit on a shingle, but I understand he gots sponsors and its not on a slice of bread 😂
As a southerner we believe biscuits and gravy is a good group😅
🤣🖖 For Sure.
Absolutely
Biscuits and gravy are a food group!!!

Justin Wilson was another one I could listen to him talk but I think he's in heaven 😮
I love sausage gravy biscuits . I also love some frog legs. Yummy
My wife knows how to skin a frog and a catfish. I've fallen in love with her over 4000 times.

Nothing better than gravy and biscuits and sausage
You can never replace the love Grandma’s love!❤️
Nothing like Granny's cooking....mine has been gone 40 years and I miss her more the older I get...💜😪💚
I still remember my grandma making this, we talk about her breakfasts 55 years later. You’re making memories.
This is exactly how my grandma taught me how to make gravy. She is one of the most influential people in my life. If your grandma is still alive don’t forget to call her and drop in randomly to say hi. Amen to all those grandmas out their raising them up proper.
Deer Sausage Gravy and Biscuits is really good too
Bruce said 2 mo minutes on biscuits while holding up 4 fingers love this guy
My Granny could throw down in the Kitchen. I sure miss her and her cooking.
Rain makes food taste better. Use to serve biscuits and gravy where I worked as cook. Personally give me a side of onions and hot pepper sauce with that. Good eating for sure
“Makes it taste gooder” once I heard that I knew this recipe was fire!!!
Yessirrr better know it🙏🏻
Grandma's always have that one dish no else else can duplicate. It's the love a grand mother has that we can't duplicate.

People idolize anything. How the hell you not going to use the sausage grease as your base for the roux?

I crumble them basket up in a serving bowl, throw the sausage gravey in the bowl, top with a few over medium hens eggs 🥚
You are part of the American Treasure, and never forget it!
Thats totally different than how I make it or have ever saw anyone else make it. I don't understand how he didn't use the sausage grease but I gotta trust the process here. Can't wait to try this method.
Let us know how it goes!
We always fixed it the other way round, sausage in the skillet and then use the flour and milk to basically make a roux and deglaze all the leftover bits. To me gravy was just a way to not let any of the good stuff go to waste.
This is what I thought, he wasted all that tasty goodness by not making the roux from the sausage grease.
I can not explain how disappointed I was to see that the gravy wasn't cooked with all the bits
My thoughts also
Yeah I can’t remember ever seeing anybody do it the way he did. I mean obviously it still makes gravy but I was always taught to fry up your sausage, and when it’s done pull it out and add your flour to that hot sausage grease and cook your roux until it’s how dark you want it. then add your milk and start whisking till it thickens up.

I do the same. Cook it all together in a cast iron skillet. The bacon grease does the job of creating the roux and you don’t need near as much butter.
Loved Bruce on swamp people and I might like this even more
Love Y'all Bayou folks.MakingDem biscuits 'n gravylook real good nah !!!

You guys don’t actually even need the butter, simply brown the sausage in the pan and make the gravy roux from the grease of the cooked sausage. Sorry to me a whole stick of butter is a bit excessive.
@@sweatyskinfolds1385 THE BUTTER MAKES THE GRAVY MORE CREAMY ! BETTER THIS WAY!
One of the best meals on earth!
AMEN brother !!!
I can watch all of the best, world class, chefs in the world and feel like I've learned something that furthers my education in cooking.
Then I can watch Bruce and it nurtures my soul and passion for cooking. Thank you, Louisiana man. You make watching people cook feel special again. It's like sitting in the kitchen, listening to an elder talk about the good ole' days. Love it.
Love to watch you and listen to you talk of grandma
Just seeing a plate of biscuits and sausage gravy warms my soul to the core. It has been a long standing tradition as the main course for my family’s Christmas brunch and it doesn’t matter how many times I watch grandpa make the gravy…I still can’t make it quite like him.
One of the things I love the best some biscuits and gravy with sausage yum
I have been watching your cooking 🍳 😋 program for about two weeks now. I really like it when you talk about your grandmother I sure miss my two iam thinking about getting one of those stoves. You are a different person than were on Swamp People in a good way 👍.
Laissez le bon temps rouler! " Que vos ennuis soient moindres, vos bénédictions plus, et que rien d'autre que le bonheur ne franchisse votre porte.
I'm with you! Biscuits and gravy is my favorite meal!!!
Can't go wrong!
Bruce I love all your show especially the one on swamp people
I myself is from Houston Texas but my people from my daddy side is from pelican Louisiana and we Cooks I just want to say I love you
You are the man. Grandmas knew how to cook and salt and pepper is all you need. That was some real breakfast you fixed there. Make sure you give the young ones cooking lessons and make them a family cookbook with tips and keep your history alive
I love these cooking episodes Bruce! Thank you so much for sharing and merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and thanks for watching!
My grandma didn’t use any spices but salt and paper. I don’t remember seeing any other spices or seasonings in her kitchen. But everything she made was so good! Most of my memories of her are her standing in front of her stove.
One of my favorite dishes. I make home made butter milk biscuits with my sausage gravy. Thanks for video my friend.
Oh !! My grandma would cook up a mess of biscuits and gravy in the morning whole house smelled so good and the taste I miss them and her and her homemade bread nothing like it good memories
You are just an awesome person Bruce and fun to watch how to cook Louisiana style! Keep em' coming!
Thank you sir for your goodness, and your memories of your family sharing with us
Love listening to your stories
I'm not a fan of southern foods but he makes it feel so natural and his personality shines. he should have his own show.
Well, he does - right here on YT.
Hello Bruce!
I'm a 1st time viewer of your videos! I changed my notification bell to recieve all videos now!
I like your style, hope to see you more often!
Love biscuits n sausage gravy... thank you for sharing your family recipe. I bet your grandma would be proud!
I made it and you are 100% right, I was not hungry the rest of the day
My Mom made the best biscuits and gravy so now that she is gone I have to do it myself. She also made my favorite, chicken and dumplings. The good thing is I have all of her recipes.
This is genius marketing. I see y’all ;p honestly I respect it. It gives Bruce a chance to show his talents (and make us smile). Cant lie, I’m half convinced to buy a Blackstone Griddle and I live in Canada….in an apartment LMAO
I fully support Bruce's way of cooking outdoors and all his receipts. For this receipt, I always first cook at least 1/2 as much fried and chipped up bacon as I later do sausage and I cook the sausage in the leftover bacon grease, adding both to the gravy.
Amen to Grandma and Grandpa, Bruce!!🥰❣💞
Been using Grandma's recipe from Putnam County GA out here in So Cal for 40 plus years. Just saw this and gave it a shot. Grandma's got some competition. Thanks, Bruce.
I'm gonna make this on the weekend. Then I want to find Bruce and just hang out for a while. Lots of stuff can and will go wrong, but we'll have fun and eat well!
That's the spirit!
Bruce, I truly like to say thanku for ur recipe I think this is the best breakfast I’ve ever made for my wife thanku for sharing ur an awesome guy
Bruce another great video. You are truly a southern cook!!! Keep making videos. Great recipes!!!
Cream gravy made with bacon grease big ole cats head biscuits and some country ham. Oh and biscuits on the side with some over easy eggs on top of the gravy with a little red eye gravy or black sop on top. WOOOOOOOOOEEEEE! Makes a mountain man holler!
Love how u talk about family & food…they go hand and hand!
sounds like the weather here in nova scotia Canada. love your cooking and the little stories you tell
SOS is soooo good. I have had it this way or with chipped beef. YUUUUUMMM
YEAH BRUCE,YOU REALLY DID IT UP THIS TIME . SAUSAGES AND GRAVY
I loved watching you on the TV show, but I love gravy and biscuits. Wish I was there right now!
I loved watching Swamp People when he cooked. It always looked absolutely delicious
