BACON GRAVY ---- CAST IRON WEDNESDAY

[@kp8174]

I like to use my bacon fat in many different ways. One of my favorites is to take canned green beans, heat them to boiling, drain them, then add a spoonful of bacon fat and a touch of honey along with a bit of salt and pepper. YUM! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I never thought about bacon gravy. Will be trying it for sure!!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Oh, yeah, I've done that forever, LOL! A little bacon fat makes a lot of things better!

[@ct7aja2]

Gravy over potatoes is awesome. I always have bacon grease.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Same here! I always have it on hand as well! So good for flavor in so many things! Thank you!

[@jackietucker8942]

BACON GRAVY is the best. Goes great over everything, and Way better than sausage gravy. Good background music too. I cheat by cutting the bacon into 1" pieces, and cook a bunch at one time (stir often).. That way it's already crumpled up.... the remainder I use on BLT's & over salad.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

It's hard to beat! Yup, that's a good time saver! I always have bacon left to use for whatever, LOL!

[@edwardprice140]

I would top it off with 2 eggs over medium. And the bacon on the side. With a cold glass of milk.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

The eggs would sink me, LOL! But definitely a way to go!

[@marilynmcclintock2974]

I love bacon gravy. Grandma Sue in central Indiana and Izzi Too

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Me too, LOL!

[@spillsndebris]

That looks so good!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you!

[@thegrumpyolgringo]

Mmmmmm Bacon. Mmmmmm Gravy. Mmmmmm Fried Potatoes and Onions. I am a biscuit, once in a while kinda guy, so this was a great way to eat bacon gravy. Nicely Done. Thanks for sharing. 😎.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thanks for watching!

[@BigGaz1953]

Must be good Helga. 5 maybe 6 eyerolls

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Oh, it was! Thanks Gaz!

[@robroberts1473]

OMG that gravy would make a flip flop taste good.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

HAHAHA! That's hilarious.....but true!

[@CookingwithRick]

Hi Helga, I never heard of bacon gravy but why not it looks much more delicious than sausage gravy.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

I love both, but this is nice if you don't have meat for the other kind of gravy and very satisfying!

[@teresahopemiller1008]

hey id love to make this, Serve along with Dripping toast. British use of bacon grease. fried with mushrooms. I love bacon. We have a eating place to go to in Tucson and Pheonix Oink. They should get this..

[@MelMelx365]

Bread can be addictive

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

And that's why I don't keep it around, LOL!

[@SteveRobReviews]

Looks like a great meal at the camp. Without the saved bacon fat I guess just fresh fried bacon fat works the same. Thanks buddy.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Yup, fresh or saved will make a great gravy either way! Thanks Buddy!

[@kaystephens5365]

We do love our potatoes. Grandma and her family are them no less than twice a day

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

We do, too! Dad's favorite veggie!

[@lt5652]

👀💖

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

😬

[@hooligangeneral.5988]

Love it. Keep the skillet things coming!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Will do!

[@robbinstephensyork8864]

My Favorite Gravy...always makes my kitchen smell like my Little Cherokee Grandma’s Kitchen when I make this Gravy, along with fried potatoes, toast and have some strong coffee perking in her old school electric percolator....She also use to make Chocolate Gravy for us kids when we visited My Grandparents and all my Dad’s Family in South East Missouri every Summer...never did learn that recipe...Think I’ll text my Cousin and get it from her....But, for now I’ll be making this Bacon Gravy with all the fixins this weekend...Thanks for this Video!....✌️💜💋

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

That's awesome. I'm so glad it could bring you good memories!

[@primatejames]

It's not too late to whisk it Whisk it good

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

This made me laugh way too hard, lol

[@primatejames]

😃😉!

[@jdallison6198]

Another great recipe Helga , God Bless have a great day 🙏👍👍

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you and you too!

[@wandahoffman3945]

Can I use all water?

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Fat and water don't mix well, plus you won't have the taste or thickness. So yes, you can but not with good results.

[@strongsadventures]

I love Bacon gravy. Oh This is awesome Helga I have made this before but been a while

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you, you'll have to make more when it cools down down there.

[@woodyjade9097]

OMG!!!!!!!!! I'm slobbering all over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

LOL, thank you!

[@airratchetjockey7605]

I wish my cast iron pan looked like that, having a terrible time getting it seasoned so things don’t stick.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

What are you using and at what temps?

[@airratchetjockey7605]

Helga's Pennsylvania Cooking tried some flax oil at 325°F for 1hr

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

The flax seed is fine. But your temp is way too cool. The hotter the better. 400-425 for at least a couple of hours. Repeat process 3-6 times. More is always better. I'll do it once a day for several days to build it up.

[@johnkovalicky3389]

Looks awesome Helga !! Some breaded fried pork chops on the side , oh my my .... Thanx !

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

MMMM, yes!

[@rs-fan13]

should be cast iron century

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Agreed!

[@jrad3966]

My grandparents used to make me pancakes and gravy back in the 80s...... this is how they made the gravy! Been wanting to do this myself for a while now.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Hope you enjoy it and have some good memories!

[@BiggDoggLeather]

Looks Devine bacon gravy over scrambled eggs is great to!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Oh yes, the perfect duo!

[@stevegordon5243]

Yum! Looks delicious! I've made sausage gravy and hamburger gravy but never bacon. Will have to try this. I also prefer gravy over potatoes vs biscuits. Thanks for sharing Helga!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

You're welcome, hope you like it!

[@Lizzythedog]

No milk for our bacon gravy we used water.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

The milk gives it a bit more richness, pretty darn yummy!

[@Lizzythedog]

I'm definitely going to try it with milk.Whenever I start to miss my family I make some brown gravy and fried potatoes. :)

[@ericasaylor2562]

Looks so good I think I would try it with fries 😛

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

That would be great on fries...add some cheese curds and you'd have poutine!

[@ericasaylor2562]

I never had cheese curds yet

[@SaucysCreativeCrochet]

Damn! I will get mine out next Wednesday. Cuz the last one got corrupted! So I have to redo it. Sorry about that! And will have to give it to the neighbors when done! LMAO! And yep my recipe is very similar 😁😁. Great video! And I am hungry! ✌️❤️🤓👩‍🍳⚓

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

No worries!

[@GrantHubbard]

Omgawd...i need food...Now!!!! Lol

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

LOL, thanks, Grant!

[@PREPFORIT]

I wish Vegetables tasted like Bacon Gravy!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

LOL! I always joke that it's the only way I can eat tofu, fried in bacon fat so it tastes good, LOL!

[@wyattoneable]

I'm taken back to the days we could camp in N.Y. I so looked forward to anything you cooked. Bacon is a staple in my opinion and that gravy over potatoes is a fantastic idea. I had to laugh at your taste test. Normally it's one or two bites, but noooooooo. You had to tease us by eating almost the whole plate!

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

miss you being able to come up to camp, too! We all had a good time! As for the taste test, it WAS good and i was hungry! LOL!

[@laurlichtey3079]

Helga, I'm a new subscriber and I love your recipes! Just wondering why you chose "Sweet Home Alabama" as your opening theme for "Helga's Pennsylvania Cooking?"

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

A friend of mine actually did my intro for me and came up with this version of the song, and it just fit me and my style and what I like. If there was a Sweet Home Pennsylvania, I'd have used it! I did toy with a good Polish Polka, but not the same, LOL! My cousin in AL was pretty happy with it, LOL! Welcome to the channel, the food is very Pennsylvania, even my music is not! LOL!

[@wallaceviviansadventures2095]

new sub here Helga Steve sent me over. Wow gravy looked very tasty.i got to try it sometime. take care

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you very much!

[@NativeTearz]

Oh woman!! You're killing me!!!! Almost 100F today and wayyyy too hot for being in kitchen. But....i was drooling for some of this And a big plate of fried taters (smothered real nice)

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Oh yes! As soon as it cools down for you, you'll have to indulge! Your sorbet looked perfect for the hot weather!

[@shermanhofacker4428]

I realize this is an older video and comment, but gravy (and almost anything else) can be cooked outside. I do most of my cooking in a screen tent during warm weather!

[@dreamcreationsadventures]

Oh Man ! One of my favorites as well 👍🏻 I do love your style of cooking. All the good stuff 😉

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you!

[@Dansoutdoorcooking]

That looks delicious, I've never made my gravy that way but will definitely try your recipe. Awesome CIW, hope that you have a wonderful week.

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Thank you, Dan! it's simple and very flavorful!

[@michellem9275]

Have to try this gravy...good for the winter!..It does look delicious Helga..there is something about certain women cooks that just clicks with me..and your one of them!👍mmmmm Bacon🐷💕

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Aww, thank you! Glad you enjoy the channel!

[@justinholmes5766]

Instructions unclear, arteries clogged

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

I'm sorry you found the instructions unclear. What was unclear? And why did you watch a bacon gravy vid if you are worried about your arteries clogging? 🤔

[@fr3atlast448]

Oh, I love the stuff...now I want!🤦‍♀️😂🌷🚍

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

LOL, me too!

[@KenRogersMostlyOutdoors]

That looks so good! I’ve been cooking sausage gravy lately. You have convinced me to go back to bacon... lol

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Ha, I like them each for what they are, I'd never turn either down, LOL! Thank you!

[@katcankan7129]

Ok you got me with this one! 🤯🤣😉💜

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

LOL, Sorry!

[@ChrisPrime-g2r]

Stop you're not going to add the bacon to it

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Stop what? Totally added the bacon to it. See the lumps of bacon in it? Ya know, BACON gravy.....

[@djsorensen6225]

Please lose the music while your talking, I feel it's rude. If you had company in your home you'd turn off the TV or music. Why do you think it's appropriate to have music while talking? I just dont get it and I'm sorry to say I stopped watching and will not watch future videos. :(((((

[@PennsylvaniacookingBlogspot]

Wow. I guess you need to tell all the restaurants that play background music that, as it's most of them. And that's what it was, background music. If that offends you, you weren't here for the cooking to begin with. In my home and the home I grew up in, background music is/was normal. Perhaps this is a cultural difference. Otherwise, it'd just be you being rude, lol.
