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.
- 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.
Return the skillet to the stove and turn the heat down to medium-low. Sprinkle in the xanthan gum, sage, and red pepper flakes.
Whisk in the heavy cream.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet.
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.

- To reheat refrigerated gravy, simply warm it in a saucepan on the stove over low to medium heat. Stir frequently until heated through.

💭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.

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.
