Great video! The southern breakfast cuisine is such a must for anybody that's never experienced it. I see a lot of comments here being such purists and gatekeepers in regards to the recipe for each thing. "SALT AND PEPPER ONLY!" "A real southerner would never cook it without butter or crisco" "No milk in grits!" People seem to be most passionate and most die-hard purists about the gravy recipe more than anything, though. Arguing over seasonings and what the "right way" to make it is.
Me, personally? I'm from the great melting pot of American cultures (FL) and know so many different people who make it every way listed in this video, these comments and more. After sampling a plethora of different recipes, I can pin no one [recipe] as "my favorite," "the best" or "the right way." Each one was just tasty and satisfying and I'm glad that I tried them all.
So many seem so dead set on doing things the "right" way that they get stuck in their own little bubble and aren't willing to try anything new or different and really end up missing out on something they may possibly enjoy *even more* than what they're so used to. Purism is so silly lol.
Your the first to actually get it , and helped explain for everyone else 😆 thank you
@@Irish-Jesus the pleasure is all mine. 😂 Thanks for the content and the shout! If you're ever in central Florida and have a hankering for trying new foods, message me and we can further expand your pallette! 🤘🏼
@@bjthebrain968 I’ll be in Florida in June, keep an eye on my page for updates on possible meet ups
@@Irish-JesusWill do! 🤙🏼
I didn’t see a southern dish I saw two idiots make a shitty attempt at it then get applauded by northerners and midwesterners because they wanna suck up to the content creators.
We have a friend here in Tennessee who is from Europe. World traveler. I asked her what her favorite American food is. A great burger? Steak? BBQ? Hotdog? She said, "Please, ask me a hard question! Sausage gravy and biscuits is easily my favorite American food offering." It's mine, too!
@tony borelli Lmao is it really that hard to believe?
Sausage gravy with a fried chicken biscuit is my favorite thing, my nanny and Pawpaw used to make it every time my sisters and I would sleep over.
You can't beat a good sausage gravy covered biscuit at any time of the day.
You can if you put some crumbled bacon on top as well!
There's nothing better after a night out on the town -- the perfect end to a night of overindulgence. Sure, it's a cholesterol-filled cardiovascular nightmare -- but well worth it.
I know, sometimes we do breakfast for dinner. Sausage gravy over hash browns,eggs and the biscuits. Yum!
Nah, I’m from south Louisiana. This part of the state doesn’t eat white gravy, especially not on our biscuits.
SOS
As a midwestern boy, well made biscuits and gravy with an egg just feels like home.
I remember when I made this for my husband for the first time. He was super grossed out and said it looked like vomit lol...I told him to try it and now it's one of his favorites.
I am southern, born and bred, and I would never put garlic or seasoned salt or butter in my gravy. You have to brown the flour.
Well I’m an Irish guy that has never seen or heard of the stuff lol so it all looks good to me 😄
I know plenty of southerners who do .. every body does it differently..
Exactly!!
@@ssshadowwolf6762 Indeed. To each his own.
Different strokes for different folks! 🤷🏻♀️
Biscuits & Sausage Gravy is also a "leading economic indicator", in that, when hard times hit, the ratio of sausage-to-gravy decreases.
At a local breakfast place in my hometown, there is an item called a redneck Benedict. It’s a biscuit sliced in half. With 2 sausage Patties, fried egg, and topped with sausage gravy. It’s so good! Especially with Tabasco
Here they call it Dixie Benedict
sausage egg benedict
Almost what the wife makes me except the sausage gravy is topped with sauteed onions, green and yellow pepper slices, a few hot pepper slices and about a tablespoon of crushed bacon lightly sprinkled across the whole thing!
Now I'm hungry! I'm a North Carolina native who now lives in Chicago. I absolutely miss this kind of food. My mom's biscuits and grave were out of this world!
I bet there’s nothing better than mommas cooking
This video was so satisfying to watch! As a southerner, seeing people try comfort food, but make it wrong, and then obviously not like it because it's wrong, (like plain grits), is like nails on a chalk board.
Having a southerner make the food for you was perfection.
You've got to know good grits. 50/50 water milk is always the way I've made them and it leads to a creamy delicious product that those who don't know don't understand.
I waited tables at Cracker Barrel 20 years ago. Trying to explain grits to Northerners was kind of entertaining. I finally decided on "Cream of Wheat, but with a corn aftertaste."
@@uadimwit, I'm from MO, which I don't consider Southern and we have grits.
Grits is a Native American dish and they didn't have milk to make it with. I'm sure they added herbs and other ingredients but keep in mind that grits "ain't" a Southern food. We adopted it from the indigenous people. (My family has lived in what is now the SE US since the 1600's)
Liar
I’m hungry already and I’m thinking chicken fried steak and home fries for dinner. Gravy on everything.
Remember every home has there own version of the perfect grits, gravy, biscuits, etc. Once you make it a couple of times you can experiment too.
Thank you, there is so much people saying so many different things in the comments, but your speaking facts 😆🙌
Truth! In my family, first you make the roux with the sausage grease, sausage removed, mainly because we don't want the flour on the sausage, but his way works too! No seasonings because the breakfast sausage has it already, but lots of pepper, and salt if you need it. But, I've rarely met a homemade sausage gravy I didn't like.
So true! but I'm definitely going to try adding butter to my gravy.
Ohioan here and we have Appalachian food that shares similar food to the south. A common dish here is where you plate your biscuits, eggs, and instead of grits, hash browns or home fries and cover all of it in sausage gravy. Some put shredded cheddar on it too. Stir it together for a big gloopy, but delicious meal.
🤤 please send food 😂
Ohioan here, (mom from WV) fried potatoes, eggs, biscuits or toast, covered in white gravy...def no cheese, served with a side of fried apples.
They need to learn to make proper sausage gravy...
Not so much grits here in Oklahoma as hash browns.
@@robincraig5006 I'm also an Ohioan whose mom is from WV. The plate you described is how we do it 😊 And now I'm craving it.
Ohio? I don't trust nobody that puts chilli with cinnamon on spaghetti😂
Dang. I'm from up north and there's nothing better than sausage gravy and biscuits!! You made me HUNGRY!!! Hope you enjoyed all you ate. YUM!!
Biscuits and Gravy is my go to hangover breakfast! Add a couple sunny side up eggs, and SEND IT!
For some reason, when I’m sick, I crave tuna casserole. There are times that I’m sick that I don’t want anything.
A local restaurant near me used to make something called a “Big Nasty”! It was homemade biscuits, gravy, chicken tenders, and eggs on top! It was the best!
@@cden409 Did you grow up on tuna helper cuz it's the same with me.
@@littlelisaluna That actually sounds amazing lol.
Another great breakfast is this: Easy Over Fried Egg cooked in Bacon Grease, Hashbrowns also cooked in Bacon Grease, Thin Silver Dollar Pancakes cooked in Butter, and Strips of Cooked Bacon oven baked!
In fact whenever I make Bacon I save the grease to cook various things in the future. Another meal I use Bacon Grease for occasionally is Mac & Cheese, replace the Butter with the Bacon Grease.
As an Oklahoman, I can confirm the Mary B's are pretty amazing for frozen biscuits. I've had worse homemade before.
They are good . Not as good as homemade ones but still good
MaryB has come out with a "toaster biscuit" (frozen section) , and it's fast and tastes great ! Just pop it in a toaster for a great taste, quick.
Matt knows his business about Biscuits and Gravy. Respect.
The UK usually gives us alot of slack when they see biscuits and gravy, it doesn't look very tasty to someone that hasn't had it. But it's a comfort food that's filling and always hits the spot. The key secrets are the proper sausage, a good roux and lots of pepper. It's economical and filling.
It's original purpose is a cheap carb rich meal meant for blue collar workers that needed the calories and energy to get through a hard days work. I'm pretty sure that it was originally a lumberjack meal hence the name "sawmill gravy"
A lot of flak.*
Yea it does look like a pile of puke but it is actually tasty and filling so it does it’s job 😄
They do indeed like to whine.
@@johncee853 Would that be Joel and Lea?
@@thebaron44 if you don't know what Brits are, I can't help you.
As a country boy, I approve of ALMOST everything right there. Except for the eggs. Mannnnnnn ya gotta scramble those in a little bit of that sausage grease or at least a half stick of butter or a combination of both a little grease and butter. Also if you were doing bacon? A little bacon grease scrambled eggs are amazing also. Hell anything cooked with bacon grease is better.
Bacon grease is to the old school southern cooking what good olive oil is to amazing Italian cooking.
Bacon grease. The southern American’s olive oil 🤣🤣🤣
I absolutely love your comment lol, I want to see more of your opinions in my next videos to come 😄 I appreciate the advice and honesty, I hope you enjoy my channel and stick around
@@Irish-Jesus 🤣 Thanks and I sure will. I grew up on bacon grease cooking. I don’t do it all time these days but I did order a legit gallon bucket of pure bacon grease from Amazon called BaconUp 🤣🤣🤣. The Best old school fried chicken ever? Yep fried in bacon grease. Lol fried cornbread also. We also ate a lot of squirrel and rabbit growing up. Mannnnnnn squirrel dumplings (like old fashioned chicken and dumplings) is AMAZING. Also equally amazing is fried squirrel and gravy. Also Crackling cornbread is a REALLY old school buttermilk cornbread with softened pork cracklings that is mind blowing. 😂 just can’t eat it all the time and keep anything close to decent blood pressure levels.
@@Irish-Jesus back when I had my restaurant going? I use to have a sign that I made that said. “Yeah my cooking might kill ya. But you’ll hit the dirt with a smile”. 🤣🤣🤣
And any time I did an event it was a BYOP event. BYOP Bring Your Own Pillow because I’m about to put you to sleep. 🤣🤣🤣
Those were French style scrambled eggs.
With the grease catcher keeper right on the stove. Amazon has some nice ones. 😉
I used to LOVE visiting my uncle, aunt and cousins in northeastern Mississippi, 'cause they'd have every single Southern breakfast food you can imagine on the table -- and Pepsi, too. Gotta have Pepsi. This could also explain why my cousins were the size of a house, lol. Made me feel tiny.
Sausage biscuits and gravy is a wonderful food when it is cold outside too - very filling. Another one to try is pinto beans and cornbread.
Creamed dried beef (with peas) on toast.
Another good ribsti king meal is the shit on a shingle. Cant be beat
While technically correct I'd say grits is a Southeastern thing. From Texas going West you're more likely to encounter hash browns as a breakfast side which become "home fries" if you travel North. Sausage gravy though is pretty universal.
I live in the pacific northwest in my area restaurants/cafe's home fries are diced potatoes fried with onions and peppers. Hash browns are just fried shredded potatoes.
I don’t know the logistics of where is considered where but in Georgia, you’re 50/50 on grits and hash browns.
I’ve never thought of that Edward 🤔 so true 🙋🏼♀️
Yeah, grits are pretty uncommon on the west coast, but they ARE a fun alternative to hash browns or fried cubed potatoes (with obligatory catsup, of course!) every once in a while, especially with cheese glooped into them. YUM!
I was thinking the same thing.
It still amazes me that most Irish don't know about biscuits and gravy when it was the Irish and Scots in the south that were the ones that came up with it.. I'm pretty sure the first version of it was made with hard tack.
Me watching this confused 🤔 because growing up, it was just understood that it was an Irish dish...
Thanks for reinforcing that cuz I was beginning to wonder how'd I came up with that idea?
That is crazy lol, I never even knew that. It’s probably because back in the day when people came to america from Ireland that they were exited to eat anything other than potatoes and cabbage 😄
So the slaves didn't make (invent) biscuits and gravy?
@@Irish-Jesus it actually comes from the time of the Revolutionary War, game wasn't plentiful with a huge army to feed so a little bit of milk, some hard tack and a little flour and you make a lot more decent tasting food that makes the little bit of meat you can get go a LOT further... it's also very filling, perfect for a long day of marching.
Go figure it was made by the Irish and Scots though, the same guys that came up with moonshine out of stuff no one else wanted.
@@wsmcke nope, soldiers needing food and not having much available.
OMG !!! You came to Florida again !!! Welcome Irish Jesus !!! So can we say you love biscuits n gravy ??? Looks like he fixed you one of the best Southern breakfast ever… Great job!!!😊
i just ate dinner and now i'm hungry again. i will absolutely tear up good sausage gravy n' biscuits.
I’m glad you got hungry watching this so it proves it looks a little bit tasty haha
Biscuits and gravy started out as a poor working man's meal. High calorie with protein cards and fat. This is why sausage gravy is also known as Sawmill gravy. One of its benefits is you could add more flour and milk for more people.
There are so many poor man’s dishes in Ireland that they are still the best dishes lol. Nothing like your granny’s recipes
@@Irish-Jesus indeed. Given a simple meal over a 5 star meal any day.
I thought sawmill gravy was originally made with cornmeal instead of flour.
He’s a good cook. All of it looks perfect. Only thing missing was sweet tea and grandpa snoozing on the couch.
And a big ol hound dog
Amen!
No he's not a good cook. The garlic he added clashes with the sage in the sausage and alters the flavors of both. He cooks food properly but he is not a good cook.
@@RA82828 wait til they find out that packaged ground sausage already has both seasonings in it...
@Bailey Krobot I bet you're fun at parties..
😂 omg the way you thought the sausage was like “a sausage” is adorable. We do 1 of 2 things with a sausage roll. Make a patty and pan fry it or scramble it like he did.
Or make sausage balls!!!!
So glad the guy can cook. I was hopeful that you would get the best version of our southern breakfast and it looks amazing
It was really good for sure 😃
I have travelled all over the US and have had sausage gravy made in at least 15 different states, and never have I heard of Sausage gravy made with garlic and/or seasoned salt.
Salt and pepper is the traditional way.
My wife puts a little smoked paprika in hers.
I agree, salt and pepper is the traditional way but as I tried different recipes I found that lawrys and garlic powder adds just that little extra flavor profile to the gravy🙌
@@mattpowell06 Nothing wrong with tweaking recipes to your liking, however when you are introducing someone to a traditional dish of a certain region, IMO it's best to stick to the traditional method and ingredients, that way they can determine whether or not they like/hate the actual dish and not your interpretation of the dish.
For instance, I like season salt and I love garlic, but i would never want either in my sausage gravy, because that is not the flavor palette I am looking for when I ask for sausage gravy.
You Irish friend still has not had traditional southern sausage gravy and biscuits.
@@UnknownUzer you make an excellent point👍
I use jimmy dean hot sausage and LOTS of black pepper, personally
Don't forget the fresh sliced tomatoes, radishes and green onions out of the garden. People dog us for no fresh food but we add these to every meal!
who is we? you got a mouse in your pocket?
Yes, growing up and living in TN we always had sliced tomatoes with breakfast, and usually fruit too.
Growing up in GA, we didn't eat all of those with every meal, but a home-grown tomato n biscuit makes a good breakfast. Sometimes for dinner (that's what older ppl called lunch) we might have some of those things on the side, but almost always with supper. It was always sliced tomato and onion (a Vidalia when you could get it), usually sliced cucumber in vinegar or some type of pickle (hot peppers, beets, peaches, or Chow-Chow, okra) I think my grandmother sometimes had salted, sliced radishes, but I hate them so might have been more common than I remember. Fried chicken, pinto beans, cornbread with sliced onion, tomato, and vinegar cucumbers is my favorite meal.
Tomatoes yes, maybe even a slice of sweet onion. No to radish
Love a slice tomato on the side.. eggs over easy for me please
Well done to the cook. I'll let the biscuits slide. As a Florida fellow myself, I approve wholeheartedly. This is the way food should be made.
Love seeing it made the right way.
Thank you so much for your honesty 🙌
I can only suggest serving over medium fried eggs vs. scrambled. You put them on the biscuits and gravy and let the yolk run down on them. Takes it to a whole higher level of heavenly flavors.
That’s a fact! 🤤🤤🤤
I agree, over easy eggs on the biscuit with the sausage gravy, ROCKS!
This is a top notch comment
with some hot sauce.
Yes!
Black pepper and a hot sage sausage and salt....using garlic and seasoned salt for me makes it taste like another dish to me. Each to their own though.
Yes !!! You are correct… that is the exact recipe my mamaw and mama taught! Lowery’s???? … no way!!!! Authentic southern sausage gravy… so simple anyone can do it… make a nice brown roux… I like mine dark…. using the sausage grease… add salt… pepper and milk… done!!! And it’ll be the best gravy you ever had!!
Jimmy Dean’s Sage Sausage is _THE BEST._
Yea, I never put anything except salt and pepper in my gravy
This is almost exactly the breakfast I cooked for my wife recently, when we went to spend some quiet time in a cabin up in Tellico Plains. We're from The tip of Alabama that's almost Georgia, and not quite Tennessee. Fascinating the South shares so much culturally with the Celts, but a few decades of diaspora works mighty changes.
I hope you guys had a fun time . At least breakfast was good 😂
You made him the real deal. I'm 70 and I quit making biscuits the first time I had Mary B's. And datil pepper jelly! It doesn't get any better than that down here in the Sunshine state. Fish and grits with cathead biscuits when you have snook is hard to beat, too.
The closer you get to New Orleans, the more likely that the Lowery's seasoning will be swapped for Tony Cacherie's Creole seasoning. It's got a little more kick.
I hope to one day try the most southern southern food lol
@@Irish-Jesus/videos No one does grease the way the south does grease.. brace yourself.
@@Irish-Jesus I would say country fried steak is one of the most southern type dishes, depends on where in the south you are. Each state has a different favorite.
And the yellow grits will be switched out for white.
Tony’s for sure
I love using Kerrygold butter, was so happy when it started showing up in the local grocery stores :D
One of the good things from Ireland 😄
@@Irish-Jesus that's the best butter I've ever tasted. I could almost eat it from a spoon.
@@Irish-Jesus Yep...another is cheese....my fav is Dubliner
We can finally get Kerrygold cheese at Costco now too ♥
Me too. I married an Englishman back in 1974 and lived in Portsmouth. Kerrygold was my go-to butter!
Glad you got a taste of Southern Breakfast cuisine I.J. That’s some gooooooood food there! ❤️❤️❤️ Hope you had a great time on our side of the pond!
I would seriously eat gravy & biscuits every day at every meal for the rest of my life if I could. It's my all time favorite comfort food.
I need to try a few different versions 😆
It's best for breakfast or dinner during the winter. Oh so warm inside.😋
Anyone that says they don’t like sausage gravy and cheese grits never had it made that way. You cooked them perfect.
It looked good to me for sure, lots of debate in the comments a bout different ways to do it haha
its a personal taste thing. south louisiana boy here but i really hate grits. :/ sausage gravy with biscuits are to die for, though!
Make sure to add lots of sausage chunks.
Cheese grits yessss most eat them sweet but I love them savory I add crumbled sausage to them as well best way to eat grits is savory
@@lacyconner6934 I used to (and still do sometimes) crumble my bacon up into my buttered grits. Not to cook them, after they were on my plate. :-)
I once went to a fancy brunch that had cheese grits with shrimp and turnip greens. That was amazing.
Wow it’s such an unusual food to me 😄
Shrimp and grits are one of my absolute favorite Southern dishes.
Oh NOMNOM Shrimp and Grits! The closer you get to the water in the south the more you see it served bc you don’t have to drive so far for Fresh Shrimp!
If it was fancy and with shrimp then it was probably made with smoked gouda. It's a Florida tradition.
@@Thehouseoffail I went to a wedding that had shrimp and grits at the reception, served in champagne glasses. I was so happy! 😂🤘
I live in Georgia, and my parents had owned a restaurant when I was young. I grew up with all the goodies you've shared, & you done a fine job..I was ready to make my breakfast for supper lol
Now try pinto beans, turnip greens, cornbread,and a roast. Thanks for sharing...
Hey Kim I absolutely love corn y now haha I wish we made it In ireland
I love how you ate HOME COOKED food. I've had this stuff in chain restaurants and it's terrible. Usually they put way too much SALT and other junk in the dishes. You're getting the REAL DEAL when a local home cooks your meal for you! Bravo.
Good ground pork sausage is essential to great biscuits and gravy. My British neighbor calls biscuits scones but they aren't quite the same. A good biscuit is light and fluffy on the indside while crisp and buttery on the outside. My family loves the spicy Jimmy Dean Sausage or a sprinkling of Cyanne pepper 🌶 to spice it up a bit. Biscuits and gravy are so easy to make and most restaurants can't quite duplicate the home style of making country gravy.
@@dianaguenzler2897 You're so right. The Brits call our biscuits 'scones' which is NOT correct. I eat Scones all the time and the texture and style is completely different.
If you made it to the comment section to read this then definitely SUBSCRIBE as I’ve only just began my American journey. Lots of states and food still to come 🙌🔥😄
if you are still in florida i know where the best fish tacos on the face of the planet are ....just sayin
Alabama here (also get the Jesus comparison pretty often) I have a ton of food on my channel and most of it is southern if you need any ideas of what else to try if you're still in the south or plan on being south for some time
hope you enjoy your journey! i really wish you would have been here and passed through south louisiana during crawfish season. i'd love to see your reaction and treat you to one of the best foods we have to offer! travel safe and have a blast, mate!
Hey, Irish Jesus, if you ever happen to find your way down to Alabama
Another Southern Staple you should definitely try is Fried Green Tomatoes
@@karlsmith2570 and fried okra!
almost all of this is perfect. didnt make his own biscuits, but thats forgivable, because bread can take a while.
Use the easy 3 ingredient Mayo Biscuit recipe. Takes only minutes to whip up and bake. I do it all the time for sausage gravy.
th-cam.com/video/u_1U3fuaiac/w-d-xo.html
Self-riding flour, buttermilk, and shortening is all you need. No time at all to mix up and 1,000x better than canned.
To be fair, Mary B's is the best frozen biscuit you can get
And Mary B's is the best frozen biscuit you'll ever eat. In her later years my mom swore by them.
One of my favorite breakfasts! He did a great job.
I grew up in Florida so this was a typical breakfast then and now for me except the cast iron pan and all the pepper, I use a lot less pepper but what you all fixed looks wonderful 🙂
As a Tennessean I’m flattered but you got to serve some fresh sliced tomatoes with a heavy southern breakfast, maybe some green onion 👌
If I’m eating biscuits and gravy it’s usually all I’m eating, unless you count Tabasco and black coffee.
Oh, yeah. Onion makes it perfect. I've been binge watching gravy and biscuit videos and this is the first mention of onions. I thought maybe I was the only one who liked them. I just chop up the onions and place on top of the sausage gravy. So good!!!
When we have tomatoes fresh from the garden, we slice them thick and pour sausage gravy over them. Add biscuits and you have a whole meal!
At this point I can't eat eggs with out a good tomato
He did you right with introducing you to pepper jelly. Pepper jelly is a definitely a Southern Staple. We’ll eat it for a snack or a light supper with cream cheese & crackers. You just pour as much jelly as you want over your cream cheese and schmear it all on a cracker. That’s even acceptable at baby showers or weddings they’ll have cream cheese and pepper jelly placed decoratively like I described with crackers around it. It’s a definitely an acceptable comfort food to serve ANYTIME.
And here I am eating strawberry jam like a fool lol
@@Irish-Jesus Hey We love some strawberries too lol it’s peak strawberry time Right Now in the South lol Summertime is strawberries 🍓 OmNomNom
Yes! It's the only way I personally eat it is with it over cream cheese and Triscuits
@@Irish-Jesus love me some jalapeno jelly as well.... Mummm
Everything looks delicious 🤤 I would put two split biscuits on the plate and I need more gravy with the sausage.
I have no idea why but I love watching people from around the world try biscuits and gravy. Needs more pepper!
lol it seems to be a bit popular 😂
if you ever make it to South Carolina, try shrimp and grits. it will change your life forever.
I always order shrimp and grits if it’s on the menu. Best way to tell the caliber of a restaurant 🙌
That was a 15-10 a right proper Floridian breakfast, and I am happy you had a good friend to introduce you to it!!!!
Hey check out my other videos of me trying other American food 🥘 sometimes it doesn’t go so well 😂 🧡 Socials: @irishjesus
Have you tried the boiled dinner that Americans like for St. Patrick's day?
Hi Real Country Style Sausage Gravy is Made with Heavy Whipping Cream do it once and you will never make it with milk again.
I'm glad your first time trying it was with someone who can actually cook. You wouldn't believe how many Americans butcher sausage gravy
I probably would butcher it too lol
Great, now you can tell Diane that biscuits are NOT the same rhing as scones!
Lol but they are literally the same thing 😂
@@Irish-Jesus see I always think of scones as sweet where American biscuits are much more savory. Am I wrong? Or are they both apt to be both sweet and savory?
@@jessicaclakley3691 scones can be either. they were originally scotland's equivalent of biscuits or cornbread or frybread or naan. a rustic bread staple. scones were traditionally a mix of oats and wheat, but are now just made of wheat flour.
@@elanaiam sweet, thank you so much! I’d no idea scones were traditionally oat based
Checking and waffles is am imported from the NYC area or Chicago area to the south. Didn't have them. Growing up in the south
Ooh…a tip I learned from my Gramma in law…lightly grease the pan before you lay down the biscuits. It almost fries the bottom of the biscuits and just adds another level of heaven to it. 😛
Tell your grandma that sounds amazing
That's what dad made every Sunday. It has got Florida written all over it!
I make this also, and add 2-3 hard boiled eggs. Hard boiled eggs where the yokes are nice yellow and not hard boiled with the gray/green yoke, so about medium well.
Right before you finish the gravy, slice the eggs and add to gravy.
It’s so good and no other eggs needed. Put gravy all over your opened biscuits on your plate.
As a southerner whose specialty may very well be sausage gravy and biscuits, I approve of this. I was expecting to see canned biscuits and was pleased to see you at least opted for a decent frozen biscuit; I did hear that homemade biscuits are the usual and that's about all that make it to my table. You can mix them in about as long as it takes the oven to preheat, and they take about as long to cook as gravy takes to make, so if you are on top of your game, there is no time difference in completely homemade breakfast vs canned or frozen, just an extra mixing bowl to wash
Thanks I appreciate it! Over the years I’ve varied my recipe but keep coming back to this one but I won’t turn down any other type of sausage gravy😂. A completely home made breakfast will win every time but I don’t think I’m at your level yet especially when trying to teach an Irishman and cook at the same time😂.
@@mattpowell06 oh yeah I mean if I'm recording a cook, all time limits are off lol. Probably gonna double my time in he kitchen unless it's a crockpot video haha
@@Ifitfitz22 haha that’s a fact, we got all the time in the world with a crockpot. We could record an audio book of ‘to kill a mockingbird’ if we wanted lol
If you aren't in the South and attempting to make proper southern biscuits, it's very very hard to acquire the proper flour. Which is why people do canned or frozen.
I'll take canned over frozen any day
You can’t go wrong with biscuits/sausage gravy. 👏
You got that right.
Army SOS begs to differ. Ah, who am I kidding, I scarfed it down every time
@@CorePathway My honorable Father (R.I.P.) served in the army from '44--'51 and he told me enjoyed it as well. My honorable Mother (R.I.P.) made it once around 1980 and he LOVED it.
Born & Raised in New Orleans. My mawmaw used to make it so good, her secret ingredient was a little chicken bullion in the white sauage gravy, along with ground sage & cayenne added to the sausage as it browns. For the grits, we prefer American Cheese in our grits with bacon on the side or in the grits. We love this feast so much, we sometimes eat it for dinner, rainy days & cold days 🥰 tomata tomoto
Oh, & sometimes, we eat just grits & eggs, together, in a bowl, runny or scrambled, whichever you prefer 😊
Thanks for sharing, sounds like you love your food , check out my new video trying Cuban food, that stuff was good
Sausage gravy,biscuits(scratch made),scrambled eggs,fried potatoes is 1 meal that hooked my hubby. I use to make a 12 qt stockpot of sausage gravy,2 sheet pans biscuits,4 dozen eggs to feed my family. Live in southern Louisiana now. Looking for the right sausage for my gravy.
Well.... I wasn't hungry until I watched this. Now I'm starving!!!
Be sure to send some of that gravy to your old friend Diane. She just loooooves biscuits and gravy!
I recognized that voice instantly. Welcome to the US hope you have a great time. I would not normally have all of those in one sitting. A giant plate of sausage gravey and biscuits is for Sunday. Grits during the week. Scrambled eggs with leftover sausage gravey on top Monday if, and only if, there is any leftover gravey.
You gotta love Irish Jesus...200% awesome vibes
Thank you so much for your good vibes back 🙌🔥
You should have made fried taters to go with that. Now for dinner, Shrimp and cheesy grits, beer battered fries, and Key Lime Pie.
Ok now I want to try all of that lol
For ultimate cheesy grits, 1 cup of water (or broth)1 cup of butter, 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of grits, one cup of cheddar cheese into a slow cooker on low half the day. It’s divine.
That sounds good have to keep this one
Good for shrimp and grits for dinner.
Salt in water
Those grits made my heart happy. All of it looks perfect. Made me hungry and nostalgic all in one.
Irish Guy needs to be introduced to proper SOS to have with his breakfast. And menudo - ideally the morning after a night of serious drinking.
I live in Alabama and was engaged to a woman in Scotland. I used to jokingly refer to biscuits and gravy as "scones & sausage sauce". since white gravy isn't gravy there. I had to make my own American sausage there as the closest they have was Lorne sausage.
Love he’s trying this ! Awesome menu ! But anyone from Ireland would appreciate a great breakfast
That's sum good cookin' . BTW I love the wholesome content. So much now days is crazy so thx u for the content that makes me smile
that made my tenessee heart happy
huge props for giving it a try...funny thing is he didn't say that he liked any of it :D Very well mannered man!
Your gravy was spot on. I use garlic salt myself and hamburger most times for mine. Try that sometime...it's delicious! We just had it for dinner last night!
Growing up in Pittsburgh, we called that sh*t on a shingle. Another cheap, filling meal that has become a popular comfort food.
Using hamburger changes the name to shit on the shingles. That's from Texas
@@patknight2640 I started military school at age 10 back in 1974 and it was served sometimes twice a week. I spent years trying to perfect my own and today it remains a link to my past.
Here in the southeast, you don't put milk in grits. All you put in grits is cook them with water, salt and pepper. Top them off with melted butter on the plate.
Irish Jesus you've gained weight and look awesome, I always thought when I first saw you that you looked too thin, maybe the biscuits and gravy? Anyway you really look great , always enjoy your good humor and reactions.
Thanks so much for the kind words 🙌😄
Also, grits is super fun to play with. Add different savory spices and see what you like! I like to add salt, garlic, onions, cheese, and ham or bacon.
It's redneck polenta
Rosemary is really good in grits
Dallas TX born and reared. In 1984 moved to MISSISSIPPI, there they made DROP BISQUITS & TOMATO GRAVY!!!!
IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
OTHER THAN THAT, I LOVE WHITE GRAVY, WHITE SAUSAGE GRAVY, BROWN GRAVY, BROWN SAUSAGE GRAVY ALL WITH CRACKED OR COARSE PEPPER CORN.
DROP BISQUICK BISCUITS OR, HOMEMADE (RULE THE WORLD).......
I’m going to Texas this year, what are a few staple meals I need to try
I grew up in the north but my father was from the south. We were quite poor when things were really tough mom made sausage gravy over white bread for dinner. I loved it.
Yea It does look like a cheap and filling meal
@@Irish-Jesus it was, mom tore the bread in pieces. With 7 kids it was rough...everything got stretched. To this day I can't abide food waste.
Cheesy grits with shrimp is one of my favorites.
You wouldn’t hear someone ever say that in Ireland lol
@@Irish-Jesus Definitely worthy trying.
I like to add bacon, sausage, or country ham in my grits or red-eye gravy, if available. I've always wanted to try shrimp and grits, I just haven't gotten around to it!
My favorite is cheesy grits with sliced kielbasa that I've browned (or darn near burnt) in a skillet. The char taste does something to the whole dish!
@@OpposingPony Might have to try that. There's a Polish deli not too far from the house that has a good selection of smoked sausage.
Could have sworn Irish Jesus is very sensitive to heat (the pepper kind), but Paul is willing to give it a go,lol. Fist time I saw a Floridian use yellow corn over white for the grits. Looks good and Paul seemed to like it. Thanks for taking us along.
That breakfast looks awesome!! I have those same plates!
Over two thousand comments on how to make sausage gravy, and many convinced THEIRS is the only way to do it, with no exceptions. But so many southern dishes have regional preferences as far as spices and how to cook the food. Then there’s the debate over fresh biscuits or packaged…I for one would not turn down a packaged biscuit if that’s what’s available and the gravy tastes good. My Kentuckian grandmother (born in the 1890s) once told me that the happiest day in her cooking life was the day Bisquick was invented. And that old lady could COOK. That’s the day I learned to relax, and enjoy.
….mmmmm now I got the munchies real bad…!!!…that looked phenomenally delicious…!!!…your travel vids are always awesome…!!!…rock on dude…!!!
Absolute banger of a video! Come back anytime you can’t find grits in Ireland hahaha
Aloha Brother...my moma was from Arkansas and all this cooking you are doing makes me miss her more...and me hungry....that sausage gravy looked soo good..make sure your Irsh buddy knows that you can also slice that fat sausage into patties and fry those...
The one thing missing is Real cornbread..the made in an iron skillet kind...he will like that too...also..some southern whiskey..
That right there is my favorite meal of all time especially living in the south its a MUST!
I'm both southern US and Scott..Perfect breakfast.. perfect ! Perfect sausage gravy. (Maybe add crumbled bacon to the grits instead of the cheese,maybe.
And some kind af fresh fruit.
I like making cheese grits with bacon. Try not to think about the cholesterol!
Excellent video! Matt was such a great host (and cook)!
Man you are so respectful, it warms my heart seeing europeans actually trying the food and not just talking bad about it on twitter for once lol
Thanks for everything my children of Ireland! 🇮🇪🕊️🙏🤍♾️🙌✝️🇬🇧🌎❤️🤘
Omg are you sure you can afford that generous donation, it means so much to me in my current situation, I’m moving out of my family home after 30 years and tryna find a new place, this helps me out so much. Thank you so much for your support
Thanks now I'm making eggs and grits for dinner. hah
I just made biscuits and gravy a couple days ago. So yummy
He’s a true southern boy. As a Floridian myself, people are surprised by my southern accent. But many Floridians in North and Central Florida are very southern.
My Dad was an honest-to-god, Buffalo check flannel wearing lumberjack in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan back in the 50' and 60's..Mother would make biscuits and gravy ( with extra sage) for the men's morning break..4 men..24 biscuits..and back to work!!
