Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Biscuits N' Gravy

Haha!

Haha^

Yeah, I almost ended up chewing my B&G a second time when I read that.

Maple Leaf pork sausage here in Canada is really very fatty. I mix it half and half with lean ground moose. Brown it in cast iron frying pan—then brown some flour in the grease and then pour in a guard of milk. Stir slowly until thick and then ladle over canned biscuits. Everyone I know slathers it in Franks RedHot sauce.
30 years ago nobody local had ever heard of biscuits and gravy— now I got the whole damn Reserve hooked on it.

One local moose hunter claimed his wife made such good biscuits he could eat 2 cans worth!

I'm good with paprika and cayenne but hold the parsley.

I'd never tried 'em. Back about '98 I dated a gal who grew up here. I was still semi new to the area. She introduced me to 'em. There was a little restaurant nearby that transitioned from breakfast to lunch around 11:00. If we hit it just right we could split a burger and a side of biscuits and gravy, then put the extra gravy over the fries. Cholesterol bomb but damn it was good. Another place in town had 'em but they were ... city-fied.

Got one just two miles from the house. I'm going tomorrow. All this talk of it has made the idea irresistible.

That's easy: heredity.

A week night supper. So, what do you think a weekend breakfast looks like. Photobucket stole that pic.

Hardee’s B&G is better than home made?

It's actually the first time I've tried it. No buttermilk on hand, and needed to stretch the regular milk because gravy. Didn't turn out too bad, not cakey really. Next time I'll make sure I have buttermilk and stick to basics, but this was a spur of the moment thing and all in all I was happy with the results. My wife scarfed it up pronto as well, and she's a southern Missouri girl.

As an aside, all the health concerns crack me up. It ain't like we're eating this every day. Besides, lack of exercise and drinking lots of carbonated sugar water probably contributes more to ill health than good 'ol country cooking ever did. Then there's the stuff from the magic food factory with lists of preservatives and chemicals a mile long. My great-grandad ate bacon or sausage and eggs every day for breakfast, wouldn't touch a vegetable other than corn or green beans, smoked a pipe from age 12, and lived to 95.

I pretty much subscribe to the 19th century farm diet; if you couldn't process it on an 19th century farm, don't eat it.

The drop-and-give-me-twenty diet is also effective at combatting many ailments.

Is use to be decent quick b&g while traveling but haven't had fast food in years.

It beat the hell out of McDonald's b&g 🤢

Biscuits and gravy sure is a mess to get out of your jacket pocket while sitting in a deer stand.

That's my favorite way to fix ducks.

Wife and I fixed these a few weekends ago. Homemade buttermilk biscuits, fresh eggs from my friends farm, homemade sausage we killed back in February and sausage gravy. Good stuff.

perfectly spoken by a societal leech Kcock sucker.

I brown Jimmy Dean's sausage and add flour and milk to make the gravy. It's very good over biscuits. A friend told me corn meal is better than flour.
Has anyone tried this? I hate to waste a lb of sausage.

Had it two weeks ago, in elk camp. Might make it in the duck blind every few years. There's never enough black pepper.

OP, I am 48, weigh 175lb at 5’10”, and have been eating bacon and eggs with hashbrowns and biscuits and gravy for breakfast most days since I left home a few decades ago. Started out as a laborer, went into ironworkers, then carpentry. Active life. I take no meds, cholesterol and BP low side of normal. Pulse rate in the 50’s. Artery scan a year ago showed no obstruction anywhere. Good food won’t kill ya. Bad food has a hell of a time doing it, genes hurt you worse than anything. Men in my family live to be 90, spend the last fifty years of that with back trouble. I am doing exactly that. Doin’ better than a bunch of them, because I work out. Grandpa died last year at 90, healthy as a horse, no meds, but his back literally falling apart. So I get a good idea what my road out will look like.

Said all that to say this. Your genes will map the road ahead, more than your supper. Good luck, and don’t run out of buttermilk! That puts you in a bad place...😂
