Low Carb Sausage Gravy
Creamy and Comforting
Ingredients
- 1 lb Sausage I use Jimmy Dean Regular
- 1 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 cup Chicken or Beef Broth
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1/2 tsp Xantham Gum
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Cook ground sausage, remove from the pan once fully cooked and set aside
- Add Broth to warm pan and work it around to remove the leftover bits of sausage sticking to the pan (flavor!!!)
- Add remaining ingredients (except the sausage) and whisk to combine
- Bring gravy mixture to a simmer and allow to thicken.
- Add your sausage to the gravy mix and stir to combine, taste and add additional salt and pepper as desired.
- Serve on your favorite low carb biscuit or Chaffel.
Notes
I like to use a heavy bottom pan, this allows for even heat preventing the rich creamy sauce from burning. I have a lodge cast iron enameled dutch oven and love it (find it here) or at your local big box store.
This recipe calls for Xantham gum, however if you decide not to use this ingredient you can add 2 oz of cream cheese and simmer the gravy until you reach the consistency you like, however it will take time and patience - I struggle with patience, lol
Add additional salt and pepper at the end, I like a lot of pepper in my sausage gravy, start with 1 tsp pepper and ¼ tsp salt and add more based on your preference.
