HARVEST RIGHT Freeze Dried Biscuits and Gravy vs. Mountain House

Biscuits n gravy remind me of being a kid. When I was a kid, I used to go with my dad and get biscuits 'n' gravy at our favorite restaurant. Why can't I enjoy some biscuits and gravy anytime I want with some hot water? You can! Mountain house makes a freeze dried biscuits and gravy meal but we can also make freeze dried biscuits and gravy home made with a Harvestright Home Freeze Dryer. I am comparing Harvestright home freeze dried vs. Mountain House biscuits and gravy. I am making homemade biscuits and gravy from scratch and include my freeze drying recipe, the rehydration techniques and of course a taste test! The winner is a clear choice!

Freeze Dried Biscuits and Gravy are awesome! If you have not done them before, they are something you need to work into your rotation. Follow this recipe with your #traydividers from www.freezedryingsupplies.com and you have a rock solid recipe every time!

[@TacticalPoppins]

Just ordered mine! These look super helpful. I wish you sold the trays on your site too.

[@derekzimmerman988]

I grind my own special pork sausage to use. Use whole pork loin from costco and trim off all the fat first. Then I cut it up into cubes and grind it using a hamburger plate. Then I add my own sage sausage seasoning to ground pork and grind again for the 2nd time. Then I grind for the 3rd time to really incorporate the sausage seasoning evenly into the pork. This way you have a lean sausage. It cooks great and freeze dries perfectly without basically any fat, so it should store for 25+ years in mylar bag with oxygen absorber.

[@terrim.602]

This is what I think I'll do. We buy from a local butcher plus we make beef, turkey and chicken sausage (we raise the beef and chickens). Great thinking.

[@k.p.1139]

Yep! I love to make my own sausage. It tastes better and it's not swimming in the fat.

[@gudnuf2060]

Instead of frying sausage or ground meat, try baking it in a colander. Use a stainless colander and put it in a pan to catch the grease and fat that drains.

[@JipseeGirl]

Great idea! Thank you!

[@terrim.602]

That's a good idea.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

I love that you do this. I feel safer trying it myself and being on a limited budget I really can't afford to waste food. So you are a blessing to me. Thank you!!

[@dianajohnson1886]

Turkey sausage freeze dries great! No fat to worry about. I actually use frozen turkey patties from Jimmy Dean or Johnsonville. So good!

[@adamstevenson2485]

I’m going to try it.👍

[@bruceberner883]

I am relatively new to the freeze drying thing but B&G was one of the first things I tried. I did everything pretty much like Brian did but I used Pioneer brand dry sausage gravy mix instead. Cooked the sausage and rinsed it then mixed it into the prepared gravy. When I packaged it I put the biscuits in the pouch with the gravy. I weighed everything before and after, divided it into portions by weight and figured my water to add. It turns out great. The Pioneer mix is well seasoned and a bit spicy, no need for extra seasoning.

[@jlewis8567]

Thank you! We use pioneer mix and was really hoping we could use them.

[@1165slugman]

Wonder if it would be better to just straight up leave the pioneer mix as is ,just freeze dry it. Then it would be cooked once.

[@clockwatcher9309]

Just took my sausage gravy out of the freeze dryer using your technique, OMG! It’s amazing!!! I made 5 large trays and plan to do another 5 large trays this weekend. I didn’t do biscuits too, only the gravy! Can’t sing your praises loud enough!

[@samanthahoffman4647]

Thank you so much for this video!! We will be trying this for sure with our Harvest Right! We actually had chicken and dressing with gravy for dinner tonight that was freeze dried and we really enjoyed it!

[@OvcharkaShepherd]

REALLY like when you do the side by side. Gives us a leg up on people who are buying some type of long term food. Decided to give freeze dried B&G packets as holiday gifts. 👍

[@47retta]

Love the comparison! There is no way I'm going to rinse my sausage! I would rather can it, if it can't be freeze dried with all the grease intact. I dont even drain it. When i make the gravy, i mix the flour into the cooked sausage to make a roux, add whole milk, let it thicken, you're done. Nobody worries about the fat in sour cream or cream cheese or cheddar cheese when freeze drying. Biscuits are loaded with fat. If animal fat isn't exposed to oxygen, it should be just fine.

[@scottmckane6623]

I love these videos! I got the freeze dryer because my parents died of Covid 8 months ago. So I am learning how to use it.

[@Kelly-rx2mi]

[@nunnabeeswax2397]

I am going to try this with the turkey sausage crumbles from Jimmy Dean and Pioneer County gravy mix. I am in the middle of making a two week supply of freeze dried foods I can give to the inlaws for Christmas. They are still asleep and not getting prepared. I was scratching my head trying to figure out what other breakfast options to provide. Now I have a new recipe. Thanks!!

[@picklerick9578]

Brian, I would like to see a sous vided sausage set up in terms of storage. When cooking sausage in a sous vide set up, the sausage has much more of the fat rendered put than if you were to cook it traditionally. Especially with something like this, it wouldn't matter that it gets over cooked, which is better controlled in sousvide anyway. You can just drain everything once you're done, and there's binders for fat such as maldextrose, which makes fats able to be freeze dried without added flavor or worry about what you're consuming. Sous vide also ensures that sausages aren't undercooked, or that none of the end products will have the same fat content you'd expect otherwise.

[@seansweikow5453]

Killer tip on binders, thanks! I have some research and experimenting to do now

[@ddhrsa]

[@tonycaudle]

[@TheIlook1]

I use chipped beef instead of sausage . It adds great flavor and is already low fat.

[@live.life.simple.]

[@harleysdad8352]

Have you heard from Harvest Right about your order? Mine was supposed to be 5 to 7 week delivery. It's been six and I haven't had any correspondence from them.

[@highflyer13131]

Pork sausage is traditional, but I'm sure you could season ground chicken or turkey to make the sausage. The lack of fat should make it alot more long term stable. I feel most of the flavor will be in the gravy anyway so the lean meat will soak up that flavor. Might be another test batch to see if it's a winner. Can't wait to get a freeze dryer for myswlf.

[@maryjane-vx4dd]

I would add sage and thyme

[@KimGravesPics]

Can always add butter later when you reconstitute it. I always add butter when I do it for a meal but not with freeze drying!

[@HomesteadEngineering]

[@Cat-ng8yu]

[@dr.westwood]

I would drain off the grease from the sausage and put it in the freezer. Then you can add a little bit of it after you rehydrate and go to heat it so you get that fat back in. I realize that means you have to be able to keep it frozen or refrigerated, but it doesn't have to be kept frozen, it just needs to be under 40º, which unless you're totally without any refrigeration can be done. You don't need a ton. A quart of grease/fat (mix with bacon fat, too) will go a really long way.

[@harleysdad8352]

Love my Avid Armor. Ordered my Harvest Right 6 weeks ago and haven't received it yet.

[@earlrobinlay3206]

Thank you for all of your videos! We bought a freeze dryer at the beginning of April. We were able to buy one at a local store so we did not have to wait for a delivery. When we started the dryer we did the set up the way the company said to do it, meaning we did the test run and then 1st run with bread. Both of these worked just fine. Then we tried to do a run with chicken and could not get it to get past the vacuum freezing stage. We did do some adjustments on the dryer like the sealing of the oil demister like your video showed. Also putting sealing tape around the crimps on the hoses. We ended up contacting Harvest Right and going thru all of the trouble shooting for leaks. We were able to get up and running after sealing with silicone the top wire connections on the freeze dryer. We have now done a ton of freeze drying; chicken, chicken and rice , broccoli, carrots, fried rice, steak, taco spiced hamburger and a lot of scrambled eggs. Going to try some scrambled hamburger and gravy. Thanks for al the tips!

[@willagresham2978]

It would also be nice to compare the sodium content. It seems salt is Mountain Houses’ go to seasoning. Great video. My freeze drier is on order and I think I’ll have to do several biscuits and gravy meals.

[@jutde]

I've found that ham works very well for a protein in freeze drying, and frankly I think it tastes better than sausage after rehydrating and still gives you that salty, smoky meat flavor you want with biscuits and gravy.

[@live.life.simple.]

Cool. I'll try that on my next batch

[@CryptoSurfer]

I guess I’m too lazy. I just go to Costco, get a couple of #10 cans of sausage gravy and a box of frozen biscuits. Cut up the biscuits, throw it all into the freezer dryer and BAM, freeze dried B and G.

[@barrypayne421]

know this is a year old I went to resturant depot, they have pre-made gravy in gallon can also they have frozen biscuits freeze dried perfect.

[@stephaniecornwell8766]

I would make a delish white gravy, powder it. Separately do bacon and sausage crumble. Then biscuits separately. Then combine in bags in a good ratio. That way the powdered gravy will immediately soak up the bulk of the liquid and then contribute to rehydrating other ingredients

[@MasterPhilip616]

You should try smoked paprika instead of regular paprika. It's a night and day difference in flavor.

[@JaniceCrowell]

I dehydrate bone broth including pork. . I will freeze dry it when my freeze dryer arrives. I always skim off all fat. I think if you add a little bone broth powder to the mix it will add back any flavor you rinse off.

[@vickyohara63]

Learned to boil the hamburger and sausage for almost everything. Spaghetti, sloppy Joe's, and now for fd. I learned this in a cooking class, boils out the nasty fat, then seasonings and food oil can be added if needed. I will be freezing drying homemade chili this week.

[@jonathandpg6115]

if you compare them you should do an all in one bowl taste test for homemade since that’s how these packaged ones are made

[@patrickdurham8393]

I've found fresh sausage from pork loin makes a very lean mix that might even need a bit of added fat to be palatable. I'll keep the MH and other survival brands for long term storage but 3-5 years is plenty for foods I made, enjoy and am rotating regularly.

[@davidfarm8095]

The mountain house made my blood sugar jump up when I ate it. I like every thing else about it. The mre meals that I had in the air force were very bad when freeze dried meat was involved. this was 40 years ago.

[@johnellis4129]

When I make a diner style hot dog chili dog sauce I use the old method of boiling the hamburger meat to get the right texture. Perhaps boiling the sausage would do the same and allow the grease to float to the top and be poured off. You would simply have very small pieces of meat versus chunks but it may actually be better. You could pan fry to finish it up after you pour the water out so that you can control the amount of oil/grease.

[@wjf213]

I wonder if turkey sausage would give you a longer shelf life? I've been looking at turkey bacon as well to FD for long term. I know it's not as great as the real deal, but if it gets you a longer shelf life, why not. Keep up the great work.

[@JipseeGirl]

Great ideas! I just did some ground turkey and it did well.

[@nerys71]

I have a bunch of the Mountain House meals. I got them free as a reviewer (can't say the name of the program rules etc..) anyway my favorites so far are the Italian Style Pepper Steak and the Mexican Style Adobo Rice and Chicken. Absolutely Delicious. I want to like the scrambled eggs and bacon but its hard to reconstitute properly. definitely try the others though WOULD LOVE to see your take on a home made version of those !! the directly are BAD however. example the pepper steak says 1.5 cups water. Don't do this. never seems to come our right or gets cold before its right 9 minutes my ass. takes more like 20 SO ONE SINGLE cup of boiling water. one cup only mr vasille. just one cup. stir seal it up I tend to want to shake it don't the zip lock seals give out and you end up WEARING IT. trust me. my keyboard is wearing a bunch of the eggs still :-( anyway let it 100% absorb that water 10-15 minutes. its going to clearly look like it needs more water. that's fine. NOW reboil your water and slowly add in more water until you get the consistency you want. it more fully absorbs doing it this way AND it gets heated back up again as you add that last half cup sometimes even more than half a cup. NOW its properly reconstituted AND piping hot! soooo delicous. wish they were not so damned expensive. $10 a pop is a LOT but compared to thousands of dollars that I just don't have ....... Grrrrrrr I would love to see a recipie for home made versions of those two above. they were both absolutely delicious.

[@davidreddick3016]

As an alternative to Mt House Biscuits and Gravy, I really like Peak Refuel Biscuits & Sausage Gravy. They cost a little bit more but you get real whole biscuits and the flavor is so much better than the Mt House.

How would it be to simmer the cooked sausage crumbles in water for a bit instead of rinsing them off in the sink?

Also, rinsing sausage fat down the drain seems like it would be bad for the plumbing.

[@Yahuah_Is_El]

Since the chamber removed all oxygen I dont see why adding a absorber would make any difference.

[@live.life.simple.]

I am still new to vac sealing, but if the seal is compromised, its very noticeable when the bag has been vac sealed. If there is oxygen being introduced through a leak or puncture and oxygen absorber is not going to help. Just my two cents.

[@BCsv1ks]

Vacuum sealing does not remove 100% of the oxygen, there is oxygen still remaining in small pockets around the items inside that package. An oxygen absorbers is a chemical reaction, so it actually consumes the oxygen, but leaves the other components of breathable air behind. My understanding is that an O2 absorber removes more oxygen than vacuum sealing.

Then chop up the pieces to acceptable size( 5/8 inch or smaller in diameter. throw some garlic powder and onion powder and a little salt and a decent amount of black pepper.

But you only packaged one portion of gravy and one portion of biscuits in each mylar bag. So did you use two bags to make the same quantity as Mtn. House? So you use 1 1/2 cups to rehydrate 2 portions.
