Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground Italian breakfast sausage
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives, for garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the onion and cook until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add the sausage, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook until browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked sausage and onions from the pan. Drain all excess grease from pan. This is important or the gravy will be oily.
- To the pan, add the heavy cream, parmesan and parsley. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once the gravy begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer. Once the gravy begins to thicken, add the sausage back to the pan and mix in.
Notes
- Net carbs per serving: 1g
- Storage: Store leftover keto sausage gravy in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheating: I recommend reheating in a pan on the stovetop. Adding a little extra cream or even some chicken broth with help the gravy come back to life.
- Omit the sausage: Leave out the pork sausage and you have a delicious version of white gravy, also known as country gravy.
- Change the protein: This keto gravy is also delicious made with ground beef, chicken, or even turkey.
