Setting the Scene: Last night, the craving for a unique dinner experience led us to the creation of Keto Sausage, Biscuits, and Gravy. The weather outside was less than inviting, and the usual dining options seemed uninspiring. Thus, the decision was made to transform a pound of country sausage into a delectable keto feast. This time, it wasn’t our usual Low Carb Keto Fluffy Waffles; instead, we ventured into the realm of savory biscuits and rich, flavorful sausage gravy.
The Keto Sausage Gravy: For those seeking a hearty and low-carb breakfast, our Easy Keto Sausage Gravy Recipe is the answer. Crafted with luxurious ingredients like heavy whipping cream and cream cheese, and infused with the savory goodness of breakfast sausage, this gravy is the perfect kickoff to your day. Fear not, traditional Southern breakfast lovers; this gravy pairs exquisitely with keto biscuits for a nostalgic touch.
The Carb Conundrum: Worried about carbs? Fret not! Our recipe eliminates the carb conundrum by forgoing traditional flour, resulting in a minimal carb count. Bid farewell to the high-carb content of regular gravies and embrace a keto-friendly alternative that doesn’t compromise on taste.
Decoding Keto Sausage Gravy: Simply put, Keto Sausage Gravy is a low-carb rendition of a Southern classic.

Ingredients Needed:
Breakfast Sausage: Providing a savory protein punch and delightful flavor.
Chicken Broth: Infusing moisture and achieving the desired consistency.
Heavy Whipping Cream: Establishing a rich and creamy base.
Cream Cheese: Adding tanginess and extra creaminess.
Garlic Powder: Bestowing a subtle garlic essence to elevate the overall taste.
Pepper: Enhancing flavor and complementing other ingredients.
Onion Powder (Optional): Offering a hint of onion flavor for those seeking an extra layer.
Gluten-Free Assurance: Our recipe, free from traditional flour, stands as a gluten-free haven. However, a cautious reminder to check labels, as hidden gluten sources may lurk in unexpected places.
How To Make:
Embark on the journey of making this culinary masterpiece with a large skillet and 1/4 lb of pork sausage. Follow the steps of adding chicken broth, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and spices to create a bubbling concoction. As it simmers and thickens to perfection, relish the anticipation of pouring this luscious gravy over your chaffles.
Thickening Tactics: Eschewing coconut or almond flour, our keto sausage gravy opts for cream cheese and heavy cream for thickening. For extra thickness, simmer on the stove or introduce a small amount of xanthan gum, ensuring a delectable, non-grainy consistency.
Variations: For those craving variety, consider spicy sausage for an extra kick or swap sausage for bacon to revel in a bacon-infused gravy. Elevate the seasoning with cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a bold flavor boost.
Allergen Awareness: For a dairy-free alternative, embrace coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream and opt for dairy-free cream cheese. A nod to those with food allergies, always scrutinize labels for potential hidden sources of allergens.
Perfect Pairings:
Indulge in the ultimate low-carb feast by pairing our Keto Sausage Gravy with my specially crafted Southern keto biscuit recipe. For a complete meal, consider accompanying it with fresh berries, scrambled eggs, sliced avocados, or crispy bacon.
Storage and Reheating Wisdom:
Preserve the magic of our keto sausage gravy by storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Should you desire to freeze it, allow it to cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container, where it can remain for 2-3 months. Upon reheating, either use the microwave or stovetop, adjusting consistency with a splash of heavy cream or water.
