    Keto Sausage Gravy - Comfort Food Bliss 🍲✨

    Biscuits and Sausage gravy is a classic staple breakfast dish in the Midwest and South. It's one dish that I always looked forward to eating on a chilly fall or winter morning. 

    But we all know that sausage gravy isn't on the list of normally keto-approved foods even if it is some of the best comfort food out there! 

    So once I went low carb it was off my radar.

    My sausage gravy and biscuit days were over.

    But they didn't have to be and it makes me so mad that it took me 4 years before I even tried to make a keto version!

    But, just because I dragged my feet and took forever to come to this realization doesn't mean you have to wait to enjoy. If you are a sausage gravy lover like me run to your kitchen and make this recipe ASAP!

    I highly recommend serving this gravy with my Keto Buttermilk Biscuits, they are so easy to make!

    🥘Keto Sausage Gravy Ingredients

    These are the ingredients necessary to make Keto Sausage Gravy.

    Overhead view of the ingredients needed to make keto sausage gravy on a white counter.
    • Keto Country Sausage - this homemade country sausage has no hidden ingredients or high fructose corn syrup so it is very low in carbs.
    • Xanthan Gum - this is my favorite low-carb thickening agent and it gives this gravy a great consistency.
    • Red Pepper Flakes - this is optional but I highly suggest you add it, even if just a pinch.

    A detailed list with measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

    🔪Keto Sausage Gravy Instructions

    This is a basic breakdown of the steps involved in making Keto Sausage Gravy. You will find the full directions in the recipe card at the bottom of the post.

    Add the sausage, breaking it into small chunks with a meat chopper or wooden spoon. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.

    Helpful Hint: 💡: I highly suggest investing in this meat chopper. It makes recipes with ground sausage or meats so much easier!

    SUBSTITUTIONS

    • Almond Milk and Heavy Cream - You can use coconut milk or almond milk for this recipe. I like to add the heavy cream because I feel it gives the gravy a better consistency, but you can use whatever low-carb milk you prefer.
    • Country Sausage - I prefer to control what ingredients I put into my recipes so I highly suggest making my homemade keto country sausage. It is super easy to make!
    • Ground Sage and Red Pepper Flake - These are a matter of taste. Feel free to play around with the amounts to find what works well for you.

    🍽Equipment

    This is the equipment you will need to make Keto Sausage Gravy.

    • Large skillet
    • Meat chopper
    • Slotted spoon
    • Measuring cups and spoons set
    • Whisk

    Storage

    Refrigerator Storage:

    1. Allow the sausage gravy to cool to room temperature.
    2. Transfer the gravy to an airtight container.
    3. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

    Freezer Storage:

    1. Allow the gravy to cool completely.
    2. Transfer it to a freezer-safe, airtight container or portion it into smaller containers.
    3. Label with the date and freeze for up to 2-3 months.

    Reheating:

    1. To reheat refrigerated gravy, simply warm it in a saucepan on the stove over low to medium heat. Stir frequently until heated through.
    2. If reheating from frozen, thaw the gravy in the refrigerator overnight. Then, reheat on the stove.

    Note: The texture of dairy-based sauces can change slightly upon freezing and reheating. It's recommended to stir well and adjust the consistency with a splash of almond milk or cream if needed.

    💭Top tip

    If your gravy is too thin you can sprinkle in more xanthan gum. If it is too thick you can add more heavy cream, almond milk, or even a splash of water.

    FAQ about Keto Sausage Gravy

    Can I make this keto sausage gravy ahead of time?

    Yes, you can!  Make the gravy as directed in the recipe card below.  Allow the gravy to cool completely, then, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.  When reheating, reheat slowly and use a little milk to thin the gravy as it will have thickened when it cooled. You can reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

    Certainly! Replace heavy cream with canned coconut milk for a dairy-free version. Ensure all other ingredients are also dairy-free.

    How should I store the leftover keto sausage gravy?

    This sausage gravy can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 3-4 days. You can also freeze the gravy in an airtight container, or freezer bag for no longer than 3 months
