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!
