No Fail Sausage Gravy Secrets Revealed - The Hillbilly Kitchen 

I’m sort of new at cooking. I lost my wife a few months ago. She was the best cook ! Now I’m having to provide for myself. ( sometimes I do good.. other times I have to throw it out 😂) thank you for your help. This 75 yr old old man needs all the help he can get. 🥴. God Bless you for sharing your talent and your beliefs.

This was my grandmother’s tradition EVERY single morning (even after her husband died) … she kept the huge breakfast popping along with cheesy grits. Her and my grandpa owned their own farm where the good homemade sausages were made with real farmhouse chicken hatched eggs. We had a good and BIG breakfast every morning! I miss my grandparents so much.

This was our Sunday breakfast . I was brought up on. More bacon,fresh sliced tomatoes,fried potatoes and onions.I just realized this is one memory that wasn’t bad.Thank youBecky.That was 68 years ago.

My mom was born and raised in Alabama. She taught me how to make bacon grease gravy when i was 8. I'm now 64 and have been making sausage and bacon gravy all these years...lol Can i say i think i have it perfected? Lol I hope you are happy and doing well these days 💗

I was born and raised in Detroit, and my grandmother was from South Carolina. She insisted on not only fixing Southern dishes, but teaching me how to cook 'em myself. "Any man who can't cook for himself is as useless as flippers on a horse," she'd always tell me. I make biscuits and gravy every Saturday morning. My wife is grateful lol

Found your channel on a fluke, and I'm so glad I did! I'm an old country boy. God, country, family, and GRAVY!

Sausage gravy and biscuits have traditionally been the bane of my existence. One time it turned into gravy bread. I do NOT recommend that. BUT -- I would like to VERY PROUDLY announce that tonight I made it while following along with you and..... IT WORKED!!!!!! ☺️ Thank you so much for posting!!!

My pastor used to make us this biscuits and gravy for our church breakfasts. He was from the south and man he could cook. He went to be with the Lord last year, so now I gotta learn how to make this. Thank you for your video

You should be in a school teaching young men and women how to cook for themselves once they leave home. I watched my mom cook and asked a lot of questions even after I had left home. One of the best lessons I've ever learned was to cook. God bless you!

I am an ancient hillbilly, and this took me back 60 years when gravies were plentiful. Everyone's grandma made excellent gravy. I've never mastered the art, but after watching your video, I may give it a try. Your delightful accent also took me back. Thanks for doing this video.

My parents have 13 children , I remember mom making almost all these dishes , warms my heart to see them all again , god bless

I was taught this in Tennessee years ago by my Granmaw. So good.

When I was 17 years old, I cooked at a Sizzler Steakhouse and we made our own cream gravy for chicken fried steak. Same basic recipe as sausage gravy, without the sausage. Combine the flour with melted butter. To kick up the flavor, I added a spoonful of garlic salt and onion powder.

I watched this just now and feel absolutely confident I can actually. make gravy for the first time in my life. I'm 73. Thank you. God bless you!

I have never even heard of fried apples! Im so excited to give them a try! I just made this gravy with your 2 ingredient biscuits. Super yummy! Thank you so much and I love Jesus! My Lord and savior!!

I’m a Texan and I approve this gravy!!! 😜 Seriously tho, I love watching you cook and listing to you talk! ❤️

OMG!! I don't know how to thank you! I grew up on biscuits and gravy, it was a treat my mom made every so often, but especially on special occasions. Being young and thinking mom was gonna live forever I took learning how to make this for granted, silly me, we lost her last year. Realizing how much I miss her, and her cooking, along came you! You make this exactly how she did, and I thought in her memory, I can do this. Made it this morning and she would be SO proud. 1st time out, nailed it, it brought back so many great memories, it was hard to eat and cry at the same time, but we did it! Thanks for making me WANT to make this. God I miss mom. Peace and blessings to you and your family. Thanks again.

Becky, I've been watching you long enough to know that I can take what you said or what your granny said over the FDA ANY DAY!!! You cook just like my mama! Amazing, thanks!

Your husband was like mine, he was a diabetic, he lived to be ninety , passed by doctor misdiagnosing it.( keto acidosis ) he loved his homemade biscuits, gravy. Sweets, they crave there sweets. He did watch what he ate kept his reading in good range. that’s a horrible disease, wish we had a cure for all the diseases, I’m so thankful I don’t have it, it runs in both of our families. I feel for those that have a hard time keeping it in the range it’s needed.God Bless all that have it or any of the other disease.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I love how simple you made this!! My mom has tried to teach me to make this a dozen times, and it never worked! After cooking along with you here, I did it!!! My husband even loved it! So we both thank you!

I lived in Oklahoma for 26 years and biscuits and gravy were a food group on their own. Thanks for showing just how easy it is to make.

I myself enjoy the whole pound of sausage in my gravy. I have cooked all my life and taught all my children + the nephews to cook sausage gravy.

I made your sausage gravy this evening for myself and my neighbor, we are two old geezers that enjoy many of the same things and like doing them together like eating. :) The gravy turned out perfect and I served it with mashed potatoes. We both had two helpings and that was dinner for me though Bob also had one of the chicken breasts I grilled as well. He must have been pretty hungry or he was stuffing his pockets for later. :) The process is simple and easy to do, got to be for me because I’m no cook by any stretch of the imagination. Thank you so much for sharing your culinary skills with all of us. :) Next is biscuits!

I just love you lady. You are so nostalgic. This cold breezy morning welcomes you. Thanks for being you. 😊

Being a city boy from Maine, I was in for quite the surprise when I went to live with my dad in Oklahoma. Biscuits and gravy was one of those surprises. He always made his with bacon because one of our cats loved bacon, but I prefer sausage when I make it. Still one of the best breakfasts out there and if you haven't had it, make it now. You'll be glad you did.

It baffles me how many people turn their noses up at biscuits and sausage gravy. My first experience with this dish was at a Bob Evans restaurant and I was hooked for life. I have a friend whose wife doesn't understand his southern love for this dish. Sausage gravy...sawmill gravy...as long as there's some great biscuits to dip them in, this is breakfast Heaven!

You are a joy to watch! I am a certified pastry chef-getting ready to order your cookbook to try everything! Thank you from a Virginia country gal. God bless you.

My husbands step aunt taught me this method when we were first married. Only I didn’t have measurements. I would go by look and feel. I like a little more grease. I have been known to add some butter if my meat is a bit too dry. Also important for people to know when making gravy like this. Make sure you do take time to cook the flower mixture a little before adding milk. It’s not only to thicken it up if you rush you can taste the flour . Thanks for suggested measures.

I loved my mother's sausage gravy, she passed away three years ago. I'll make it for breakfast and sometimes I'll have it for dinner. I also like bacon gravy and hamburger gravy. I like a lot of pepper in my gravies. I enjoy watching you cook.

Miss Becky my grandma and mom would leave food out on the table until we ate it. Nothing went in the trash or the refrigerator. Never got sick either.

Biscuits and gravy (and some over-easy eggs) is an occasional indulgence but absolutely my favorite breakfast. Thanks, Becky.

Love your channel! Thank you for your practical, yummy recipes that remind me of my southern roots and my grandmas delicious cookin. And THANK YOU for letting everyone know you're a proud American woman that loves God and respects the right He gave us to protect the ones we love so dearly! God bless you and yours 💕

As I am from the UK, I always wondered what sausage gravy was. Now I know, guess what I am having for breakfast tomorrow. God bless you and yours. X

I'm a New Englander and I've never eaten biscuits and gravy.It looks delicious and I'm going to attempt cooking it.I enjoy your videos.I've learned a lot so far!!Thank you😘

You are a good person! I love the practicality of your cooking. People love when I fix anything I learned from you! It always wakes up memory’s from their past! City folk as well as country folk. This is the way we all lived before everything was prepared in a factory!

I’m hoping that the good Lord will keep you around for a long time. I seriously need you. The wonderful instructions you give to us is priceless. I pray 🙏 for you and family. Giving it a try tomorrow 😃👍👍

I'm in my 70's and the first thing I learned to do as a growed up adult was make my own sausage gravy and biscuits. Sausage patties on fresh baked biscuits covered with sausage gravy sustained me on many a cold winter morning. Great video! Thank you!

This lady knows what she's doing! Exactly how my family has made gravy for generations. So easy to make but so many people are afraid to try it. In the beginning you will screw up a batch or two but you will be a pro in no time!

Becky I am so grateful for this video. Love the way you explain things....full of love and patience. I have made this twice and it has worked each time. Thank you.❤

We LOVE your down home, cooking skills! Your videos make me feel like I'm apart of your family! We try to emphasize the simplicity on our cooking show, RU-vid channel, as well. We are huge fans of yours!!! 💕

"That's what Granny always did, and none of us ever died from it." Girl, that is the story of my life! I trust Granny over the FDA any day!

My dad, God rest his beautiful soul, made fabulous sausage gravy, he was a great cook & was famous for his breaded pork chops. That's how I make it w/sausage, I had a great teacher. Thank you so much, delish!

I am so glad I saw you cooking this sausage and gravy. Now I am going to make some today. That's some good eating.

I could eat this daily. Love seeing different ways people make it. It's definitely something that takes practice and patience. Becky I'm so thankful I found your channel. I watch every video that pops up and enjoy them all

I just taught my 14 yr old grandson how to make sausage gravy, he couldn’t believe how easy it was!!! Soon, time to teach him how to make biscuits!!!

Lord I just have to tell you that many a year ago my parents left me and my sister with my grandparents in West Virginia while they headed North to find work in the factory and provide a better life for us. Grandma cooked breakfast like what you showed dern near every morning. Never got tired of it! Grandpa always had to have fried apples or some rice cooked. He of course always made it sweet with some butter and sugar. That was the BEST years of my life. I wouldn't trade them memries for nothing in this world. Thank you.

Watching this makes me feel like I'm in my Grandmas kitchen. Thank you for your wonderful channel:). God Bless.

I really appreciate your videos. I love country cooking. Yours always leaves my mouth watering.

You are such a BLESSING! I have been following your videos for some months now and at 63 and "a pretty good cook", I've learned so much and so many great recipes from you! God bless you, you feed the body AND the soul! Hallelujah!💞✝️

Just subscribed to you last week. I'm as country as bean and taters and I just love you to death. You quoted a Bible verse and I was amazed. You truly are a kitchen angel, lol. Love the advice. Keep on doing a great job. Hugs.🙏

I love watching You cook and explain everything to Us. Thank You, Becky. I am from up North in Box Elder, South Dakota. I have not commented in a While. I just wanted to Thank You for explaining how to make the best Sausage Gravy. I am an older, Native American Woman at 58 and can cook a lot of things. I just Was not raised on Biscuits and Gravy. Mine never seemed to turn out correctly. I love it when You share passages and experiences. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY. ✝🙏🏽 😊❤👍🏼👋🏼

I come back again and again to watch this one. Thank you and may God Bless your family.

I use my cast iron skillets on my glass top stove and your right just need to be careful about sliding it around. That looks so good makes me want some biscuits & gravy. YUM!

Simply put: this is the way I remember cooking and eating. My southern grandparents moved west and shared so much....and now I’m back south representing and trying to (re) capture family heritage for my southern husband. We are middle aged and food culture is really what it’s about: “if you can eat you’re not poor.” Thanks for creating this channel.

I love your kitchen. Simple, elegant and old school... God bless ya' for doing what you do!

THANK-YOU so much for explaining everything. I've tried for years and never knew what I was doing wrong. Now I'm going to check out all your other recipes! :)

I love homemade sausage gravy, and always make sure I brown the flour mixture before adding milk. Nothing ruins gravy for me more than tasting uncooked flour.

God bless you. In the troubling times we live in, I find videos such as yours not just worth saving and trying but also comforting. We need much more God fearing church going folks like you.

I really learned a lot from this video! Thank you for the step by step directions. The time you took to describe how the to achieve the right consistency was great. Not adding additional flour after the milk is poured is exactly what I needed to hear!! I will make this for my great grands Saturday! ❤

Dadgum girl, bringing me back to my childhood. Ain't a thing wrong with biscuits and gravy! 🌹

my mamaw left the gravy on the stove all day too! I keep a container of bacon grease by my stove to add a bit of grease to mine when its too dry when i make my roux. God Bless

I love this! I’m going to try it now. My favorite part is when you said put God first! Bless you!!

Thank you SO much for bringing it back home! My Grandmother's kitchens were my favorite time during summer vacation! Being a very proud only daughter of military and southern parents...my favorite time was showing off my new kitchen skills to their teammates, haha! Skip ahead I'm momma and made sure the boys always got fed after practice. Just wanted to let you know that it's women like you that taught me at church, choir and in their kitchens what potential we have. God Bless you!

Totally impressed with the simplicity. And that's some good eating there. I can tell you from experience in both camps: the high dollar "5 Star" presentations will not bring the level of satisfaction that this lady's cooking will.

Mom made floured pork chop or sausage gravy back then... When life was good. Miss her and America.

You are amazing. My mom has dimentia, and don't remember a lot of these recipes she used to make. You are bringing them back!1

Love this channel...thank you for bringing back memories of my grandma in the kitchen

Hi Becky, this is my first time viewing your channel, I hope you never get tired of hearing this.. your southern drawl is awesome! I was blessed to have my moms parents who were German and Italian (both very thick accents) raise me.. well for the most part. Then mom married when I was 5 to a very good man.. which meant I inherited another grandma, his mother. She was very southern with a thick accent as well! LoL This was not a wealthy woman by any means, in fact she struggled at times financially. She had 3 grown sons and had no intentions of having any other children in her mid 50’s.. but surprise! She had a daughter that was only a year older than myself when we met. Technically, her little girl was my Aunt by marriage but naturally we were raised more like sisters. I’ll tell you what, my southern granny made the best food out of practically nothing sometimes. Her biscuits and gravy were simple just like u showed in your tutorial but ohhh so flavorful! Just like you said, it didn’t take much sausage to feed a handful of ppl since it was only meant to flavor the gravy. I probably wouldn’t have tried rabbit in my lifetime had it not been for her southern cooking. Her fried chicken was to die for and she could do anything with a pot of beans and some cornbread when the budget got tight.. and it was delicious! Traditionally at Christmas time, we did not set out milk and cookies for Santa at her house but rather a bowl of butter bean soup and a homemade biscuit. One year us girls woke up early bc we were excited about the holiday.. and opening gifts of course. To our horror we caught mom/granny eating the bowl of butter bean soup! She told us that Santa had eaten most of it but he was behind schedule and had to go. Naturally she didn’t want the rest of that soup to go to waste. 😉 We we’re satisfied with her story (age6) and went back to bed. 😂 This will surely give away my age but us girls would watch Romper Room when we were little and like any child we wanted the same toys that were featured on the show but granny couldn’t afford that stuff so she would make us her own version, the woman was magic in my eyes. She didn’t have much as a child herself.. or as an adult for that matter but she knew how to make due.. and she always made it with lots of love and a dash of fun. She was a special lady, I will forever miss her until we meet again. 😊❤️🌻

When I was young and attending college, I lived above an ice company in the industrial part of the city near a soup kitchen where the homeless ate the evening meal for free. Near there there was a hole-in-the-wall cafe that served breakfast at a price that these homeless could afford. At 0500, before work, I went to that cafe and bought a sausage gravy and biscuit platter for 35 cents. Excellent dish!

So many are afraid to make gravy and it’s the best way I know to clean your skillet. Thank you for sharing this simple traditional recipe.

After 60 years of making gravy my mom 's way,after watching you make gravy this way I did your recipe! It was absolutely awesome!

I am from NJ and fell in love with biscuits and gravy when I attended Maryville College in Maryville, TN. I would eat biscuits and gravy all day every day if my doctor wouldn't yell at me. Sooooo yummy. Thank you for this easy recipe!

One of my favorite breakfast foods with fried potatoes home grown tomatoes!❤👍❤🙏👍❤

Loved big ole country breakfast growing up and still do although I can’t eat it as often these days. Love fried eggs and fried tatters smothered in sausage gravy with brown sugar syrup and biscuits. Yummy! Thank you for sharing and God bless you.

I love this recipe,so easy! Key is bits on the bottom of pan for flavor with sausage, makes a huge difference!

Becky, I so enjoy watching your videos and you. You have such a sweet comforting way about you. your talks about God and Jesus have inspired me to look up each verse you talk about and read the appropriate chapter. Thank you for being so kind/

Thank you SO much, my new friend! I am 53 and JUST successfully made my first pan of sausage gravy. My maternal grandparents were from southern KY, but left there in the '30's and raised their family in central IN. My mom cooked like this, but it didn't transfer to me, as she never measured anything. I've seen it done many times, and knew I'd recognize the "right" way when I saw it. I just needed your practical tips, and exact measurements. I've now subscribed and watched several of your videos. Thank you for using this platform to share your faith. You are a blessing! Eating that delicious breakfast was like a trip back home. Full tummy, full hearts!

I use cast iron pots on my cook top - I am careful not to move any pots around for fear of scratching- so far so good! Love biscuits and gravy, now I know how to do the gravy part! Thanks!

Tried your gravy this morning, loved it, me and the dogs. For me I'm going to use the hot sausage next time. I had some in Texas once and I was sweating before I finished. 66 and finally learned how to make gravy, thanks for teaching this old dog something new !God Bless.

Ma'am.. I knew there was something about you that blessed me, and when you said, remember to put God first my heart leaped! Thank you sis for sharing :) you have such a humble spirit!

I could listen to you talk all day that Southern accent is so cute thank you for this helpful video now my gravy is perfect

Gravy has always been difficult to make for many. I appreciate your teaching gift that's so thorough and detailed. God bless you.

Thank you SO MUCH for showing and sharing this great recipe with us!!! ❤️ God bless!

Yes it’s absolutely delicious , and yes it always puts me in a food coma when I visit America lol

Just how my Mom and Grandma and Great Grandma made sausage gravy. That first bite will make your tongue slap your brains out, that's how good this is.. God Bless.

Deglazing the fond is the best way to incorporate sauces! I love your recipes!

Thank you so much. I've had problems making sausage gravy for 20 years and here you made it look so simple (and it looks SO YUMMY). People were saying you've got to take it off the heat when you add the milk, and all kinds of other things that never worked. God bless you.

The best way to thicken the gravy when its just too thin, in my opinion, is put a tablespoon of corn starch in a dish and mix in a 1/4 cup of water or milk and add in to the gravy a little bit at a time, stirring constantly until its almost the thickness you desire. It will get much thicker as it cools.

This is a meal my mom still makes for us kids when we come home! What a blessing she is for us...

Made this last Easter and the family loved it, appreciate you sharing recipes. Just watching again to brush up on the way to do it. God bless, have a great Easter.

I have never made it with sausage but my oldest daughter does. It is so good. I made gravy and biscuits every morning when my grandson came and stays a few weeks with me. Had sausage, bacon and eggs each morning but a couple of morning I made pancakes. Thank you so much for sharing this. You and your family are in my prayers. May God bless all of you. I enjoy watching your videos. Love you sweet Lady.

I like how you do the gravy, very simple and not a whole lot of meat. I do my gravy the same way except for one ingredient. My dad always used pet milk in the can. It creates an amazing texture, color, and flavor. Well done 🙏🏻

This is the first thing my grandmother taught me to make when I was 13, I'm now 44 I've mastered this pretty good now but I'm always up for learning ways other people make these wonderful southern dishes...

I love that story about grandma, lol. What a treasure!

I never had this till I went in the Army. It became my everyday breakfast that it was available. I just love it.

Mmmmm mmmmmm, nothing beats southern cooking. You can tell this lady is a true sweetheart, salt of the earth.

Your gravy looked so easy I thought I would try this with hamburger meat. I fried up some burgers and then some extra meat for the gravy. Putting flour right on the meat is brilliant. Turned out perfectly! Your detailed instructions about thickening or thinning the gravy, and how to scrape the pan were sooo helpful. I never imagined I could make perfect gravy in my cast iron skillet. Thank you for this video.

You are right I was scared to make it but your “simple” way of doing was a real success for me. I made for the first time in all my 64 years of life and now i will be making it more often. Thank you!

Thank you for this no-nonsense demonstration. I've watched a number of videos in the last couple of years on how to make gravy. Not one of them included the very-important information about adding more flour if the gravy seems too thin. At last I know why my previous attempts failed. Can't wait to try this out for Saturday morning breakfast!!

I think my favorite food is gravy and biscuits! My ultimate breakfast is gravy, biscuits, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, sliced tomato with Dukes mayo and the secret side item cantaloupe dipped in the gravy! Oh and around here the best sausage is Neeses.
