    Keto Country Sausage | Keto Buttermilk Biscuits

    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 drug 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!

    FAQS ABOUT KETO SAUSAGE GRAVY

    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.

    This sausage gravy will store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 3-4 days.

    Can I freeze the leftover keto sausage gravy?

    Yes, you can also freeze the gravy in an airtight container, or freezer bag for no longer than 3 months.

    Last thoughts about keto sausage gravy

    • Seasonings - Make sure your sausage is well seasoned with salt, pepper, a little sage, and maybe some red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. Taste as you make it and adjust your seasonings as needed.
    • Don't drain the drippings - The fat is where all the flavor is and you need it to make good sausage gravy.
    • Keep the flavors simple - This dish is packed full of flavor and isn't meant to be complicated. It's plain ol' comfort food and just plain delicious.
