INGREDIENTS
- 16 ounces breakfast sausage (in a roll)
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- ½ cup water (or broth)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and break it up with a spoon. Once it starts to brown, reduce the heat to medium.
- When the sausage is fully browned, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
- In the same pan, add the cream cheese, heavy cream, pepper, and water. Whisk well to combine. Continue whisking until the cream cheese is fully melted, creating a smooth, creamy gravy.
- Return the sausage to the creamy mixture and simmer for a few minutes to fully integrate the sausage into the gravy.
- Remove from heat and serve with low-carb biscuits, eggs, cauliflower mash, or even a savory keto chaffle.
Storage: Store any leftover sausage gravy in an airtight container.
Notes:
- This recipe results in a thick gravy. You can add more water or beef broth to thin it out, or adjust the sausage amount to suit your preference.
- For extra heat, consider adding hot pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. There’s no need for additional salt, as the gravy is already well-seasoned.
