Ingredients and Variations
SAUSAGE: Ground pork sausage has a savory flavor that makes keto sausage gravy so delicious. Air Fryer Bacon is another option as is diced ham. Or make a meatless gravy and use sliced mushrooms instead.
GRAVY: Cream cheese, heavy cream, and a little bit of chicken broth give gravy its depth of flavor.
XANTHAN GUM: What is Xanthan Gum? Made by fermenting sucrose with bacteria, xanthan gum is used as a thickening agent and a binder. For this recipe, it’s used in place of almond flour. It is a common additive to many keto-based prepared foods and recipes and it is safe to use.
PRO TIP: For the best flavor, a pinch of nutmeg will add pungency to any gravy or cream-based sauce.
