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

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 crumble them basket up in a serving bowl, throw the sausage gravey in the bowl, top with a few over medium hens eggs 🥚

“Makes it taste gooder” once I heard that I knew this recipe was fire!!!

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.

"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.

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.

Grandma and Mom always saved bacon grease and used it for gravy, but they made what Mom called "onion gravy", by sweating some onion in the grease before adding the flour. Also, they would cut the sausage into patties and cook them like that, then put them on the biscuit halves and covered everything with gravy. But if they were frying chicken, they'd make gravy with that grease. I use butter, or sausage/bacon/chicken grease, but when I'm making sausage, biscuits and gravy, I brown up and crumble it, then add it to the gravy. Oh, and it's got to be sage sausage for me, and I only use salt & pepper, too.

My wife made it exactly like this the other day, except she used maple sausage. It makes a world of difference!

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

On your pork roast, you need to add sliced green apples and sliced onions on your roast. Double wrap in foil, and cook slow on closed grill. I'm 72, and that's how my Granny did it too.

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.

When you hear someone from Louisiana go "Hoooooooooooooo" like at 8:16, you know you are about to taste deliciousness.

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.

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.
