Keto Sausage Gravy
A rich and creamy low-carb sausage gravy that provides a comforting twist on the traditional recipe, perfect for keto dieters.
Ingredients
Meat Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground breakfast sausage (pork or turkey) Regular pork sausage is preferred for the best flavor.
Gravy Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream Do not substitute with milk; heavy cream provides the rich texture.
- 2 tablespoons Almond flour or xanthan gum Use a small amount as xanthan gum thickens quickly.
- to taste Salt Some sausages are salty, so adjust accordingly.
- to taste Black pepper
- optional Pinch garlic powder For added flavor, can be omitted.
- optional Cream cheese Adds extra creaminess, but not essential.
Instructions
Cooking the Sausage
- In a skillet, brown your ground sausage over medium heat, being careful not to drain all the fat.
Making the Gravy
- Stir in almond flour or sprinkle xanthan gum into the skillet with the sausage, mixing well.
- Pour in the heavy cream slowly, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if desired.
- Let the mixture simmer until it thickens and bubbles, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.
- For extra richness, fold in cream cheese towards the end of cooking.
Notes
Allow the sausage to brown well for deeper flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days; reheat gently to prevent the cream from separating. This gravy is versatile and can be used over various dishes like eggs or low-carb biscuits.
