Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
In a large skillet, cook the ground breakfast sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Stir occasionally until the sausage is fully cooked and browned, about 6-7 minutes. Do not drain the grease, as this adds flavor to the gravy.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter to the skillet with the cooked sausage and stir until it melts completely.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add it to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the sausage mixture.
Slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream and chicken broth, stirring as you go. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine and let the gravy simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, sprinkle in the xanthan gum while stirring constantly to prevent clumping. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until your desired consistency is reached.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasonings as needed. Remove from heat.
Serve hot over low-carb biscuits, scrambled eggs, or your favorite keto-friendly breakfast base. Enjoy!
