It is a texture issue and also the canned chili used in the dinner setting just has no redeeming flavors. If you want something like that do crispy hash browns with a beef patty, egg, and cheese, topped with a beef and onion gravy. you don't get the mushy beans and metallic canned chili flavor but all the elements are still there just elevated to make them on par with some of the more iconic dishes.

I grew up on biscuits and gravy. You absolutely do not put the top of the biscuit over the bottom. You halve the biscuit, pour the gravy over both halves. And btw, you fry up the bacon, or sausage, or streak of lean, or salted pork and put it on the side, then make up the white or brown gravy in the grease.

This is the correct way. My Appalachian grandmother does it this way and it's to die for.

Utahn here, what we call "scones" is really just Navajo fry bread (I have no idea when calling it "scone" became a thing). We roll it out really flat, fry it, and then top it with honeybutter. I don't know why the recipe you used calls for powdered sugar, which I agree just makes it a worse beignet. But with honey butter it is divine. When my family would go camping, we would make a huge batch of fry bread and have it with chili and salsa (Navajo tacos) for dinner and then have more fry bread with honeybutter as a dessert. Edit: after some quick googling, it seems that Mormon settlers who came from Britain imitated Native fry bread while traveling west and took to calling it "scone" since it was the closest equivalent they could think of.

[@Ourfamilybe]

Right? If you don't have it with honey butter, you didn't even try to do it right. I also love them as Navajo tacos. There is a little cafe in Bluff (southeastern Utah) that makes all kinds of dishes with their fry bread that are really good. My son's favorite is their fry bread pizza.

[@badenanderson3504]

This is what i call them, Navajo Fry bread. Honey butter is important, you can NOT use just pure honey.

While its hot/cooling down, you split it up and dip the bread into the cuban coffee (with the sugar foam) and milk!

I have no idea where the breakfast for Minnesota was found. Yes, we're known for casseroles/hotdish but I have never heard of an egg bake with both bread and hashbrowns, let alone cooked to a point where it looks like cheap bread pudding. MN is known for blueberry muffins, which is our state muffin, lefse, rice pudding, potato pancakes, potato sausage and mahnomin porridge which is made from our state grain, wild rice. FYI, lefse is often eaten like crepes, both sweet and savory. Its amazing with an egg cooked on top, some ham or bacon and a little cheese, rolled up and eaten hot. Any other egg bake would have been better than the boring, nasty looking one the was made to represent the state I grew up in, that I still call home. FYI, its also dependent on what culture you come from since MN has over 94,000 Hmong, a hispanic population of over 345,000 as well as Ojibwe and many other nationalities that makes up MN. Egg bakes are a stupid stereo type

[@Topcatrs88]

Agreed. So tired of the representation for Minnesota in his video's. The people making the calls for Minnesota clearly aren't Minnesotan, otherwise they would know this stuff.

Nearest we can figure, either a bird with a tum full of berries flew over and donated some seed, OR a bear had found it's way from the Kahtadin area over, looking for a new range, and similarly 'donated' the seeds.

As a mexican in Mexico, I was kinda surprised to see huevos rancheros and chilaquiles in an American Breakfast tier list. They're frikin good, though

[@justhereforthecookies8129]

I'm a New Mexican born and raised. We have similar cuisines because of proxy. However we use our NM grown Chile red or green and a lot of cheese. That's the difference

[@108108qwerty]

That, and the fact that those huevos were wack

[@alexolague5965]

@@justhereforthecookies8129 It's cool how we have different approaches to the same dish! I'd say the biggest difference is the use of cheddar cheese, and the addition of beans. Also, here in Mexico we make a molcajete sauce with roasted smashed tomatoes, chile jalapeño (or sierreño) and onions. But even that can change in different states inside Mexico. Chilaquiles are pretty much the same dish as the one showed in this video

[@johnlitherland8863]

​@@108108qwerty Like that was what you judge our huevos rancheros on? A dry tortilla with a tiny dash of chile (he totally spells it with an i). Dude probably googled a recipe without realizing that our NM versions of classic Mexican dishes can be very different. Single stack or rolled please and if I can see my tortillas or even my plate, there's not enough chile.

Delaware: Josh if you make scrapple more like the ‘fried’ mush it will be more pleasant experience. My grandmother grew up with that and passed the recipe to me. Basically equal parts of boiling pork drippings/broth, shredded pork leftovers and cornmeal (season with Bell Seasoning and Black Pepper). Cook on a stove until bubbling and then cool in a breadpan. Slice and fry. I usually top with syrup.

[@dtemp132]

Are you suggesting making scrapple at home? Never heard of this; scrapple is typically organ meat (mostly liver?) ground up at a factory and sold in stores in a tub.

[@jtgrube1985]

I make it on a flat top sliced about a 1/4 inch thick and let it slowing cook on each side only flip once I would suggest 10 to 15 minutes each side! Nobody like mushy scrapple!

[@sevenember3332]

@@dtemp132It depends on the brand. Both mine and my husband’s families agree it shouldn’t taste like liver. RAPA is the preferred of what we can get.

[@sevenember3332]

@@jtgrube1985 I do like mine to be slightly thicker with a somewhat soft inside, but it should absolutely be crispy on the outside. Of course, part of the reason is because I prefer it as part of a breakfast sandwich

What you need is a buckwheat pancake with peanut butter and syrup. I grew up eating them like this, and I crave them regularly 😋😋

[@AndreaWitt745]

You don't eat scones with syrup. You eat them with honey butter, if you really want the best experience. If you look up the history of them, they go back quite a long way. This is the same dough that makes Navajo tacos.... We tend to forget that a lot of our food was created by native Americans. 💜

Alabama resident here. Conecuh sausage (CUH-neck-UH) absolutely deserves to be our state breakfast. I always buy the spicy Conecuh sausage. Maybe that would give Josh more of that flavor he was wanting. I like to butterfly cut them in half and have it on a sausage egg and cheese biscuit, but they’re also just good in a hotdog bun or put in anything that you’d add smoked sausage as an ingredient. It’s still an S-tier for us!!!

Florida should’ve been Cuban TOAST. A loaf of Cuban bread cut in half with an ungodly amount of butter in between. Panini press until butter is melted and outside is crispy. If you wanna be really crazy, add fried sweet plantains to the buttered bread and panini it. Serve with a side of Cuban coffee. Would’ve easily been at least B tier.

[@tallertoler]

Absolutely agree, Mississippi's biscuit and gravy is just as prevalent in Alabama. That said, I appreciate that it was specifically Conecuh sausage, though no one is eating sausage all by itself. I suppose they could have had it with some cheese grits, and maybe add some Tony's seasoning (they aren't wrong that Alabama's go to breakfast items are kinda boring)

While house hunting for a cross-country move to Alabama after a lifetime on the West Coast, we stopped for my first ever Waffle House visit, and I decided to try grits for the first time. And then I made a cardinal mistake, when the nice lady asked how I wanted them. I said: "I don't know, what would you recommend?" Apparently sweet vs cheesy grits is akin to Coke vs Pepsi and people who eat/work in Waffle House have Very Strong Opinions.

[@onewomanandsomesongs]

I totally agree, the guy totally missed what an Alabama breakfast is like! His little heart should be blessed a thousand times. Most people don’t even eat Conecuh sausage that much anyway, it’s either regular pork sausage links or patties. Yes, grits, eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy too.
