Ingredients
- 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage no sugar added
- 1 cup onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup beef stock low sodium or homemade
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream full fat
- 1.5 teaspoons arrowroot powder
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sage ground
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ¼ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Place your large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and let it warm.
- While it is warming, chop the onion and set aside. Be sure to have all the ingredients measured and ready.
Cooking Steps
- Once the skillet is hot, add in the breakfast sausage, salt and pepper. Break it up with the wooden spatula or spoon. Continue cooking and breaking up the sausage for 5-7 minutes. It will not be cooked through yet, but that is not a problem.
- Add in the the chopped onion. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes or until the onion has turned translucent and the sausage is cooked through.
- Add in the butter and let it melt, ensuring it is mixed well with the sausage an onions. Now, sprinkle the arrowroot powder over the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in ½ of the stock while stirring continuously. Be sure that the heat stays high enough to activate the arrowroot powder. As it thickens, pour in the remaining stock. Bring to a simmer.
- Add in the heavy cream and stir continuously until it starts to thicken.
- Add in the remaining ingredients and stir well. Turn down the heat to low.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, letting the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- Remove from the heat and serve hot over your keto biscuits or keto English muffins.
Notes
ARROWROOT: Before pitching a fit, I know that a lot of people are uncomfortable using arrowroot powder to thicken anything, citing that it has too many carbs etc. The arrowroot for this recipe adds about .5g net carbs per serving… so if you want to use something else or have a thinner sausage gravy, please either omit or use the substitutes suggested in the recipe post.
