Carnivore Sausage Gravy
Ingredients:
-
1 pound (450g) ground pork sausage (choose a fattier sausage for best flavor)
-
4 ounces (½ block) cream cheese, cut into cubes
-
1 cup heavy whipping cream
-
Salt and black pepper to taste (optional — sausage often has enough salt)
Instructions:
-
Cook the sausage:
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes).
-
Drain excess grease if desired, but leaving some fat will add flavor.
-
-
Add cream cheese:
-
Reduce heat to low.
-
Add the cream cheese cubes directly into the skillet with the sausage.
-
Stir gently and continuously to soften and melt the cream cheese, combining it fully with the sausage.
-
-
Add heavy cream:
-
Pour in 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.
-
Stir well to combine everything into a creamy mixture.
-
-
Simmer and thicken:
-
Keep the heat low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-8 minutes).
-
If it gets too thick, you can add a little more cream or water to loosen it.
-
-
Season:
-
Taste the gravy and add salt and pepper if needed (usually the sausage has enough salt).
-
-
Serve:
-
Serve hot over cooked eggs, steak, or as a dipping sauce for carnivore bread or pork rinds.
-
Tips:
-
For extra flavor, you can use breakfast sausage with herbs and spices, or keep it plain for a pure carnivore experience.
-
Keep the heat low after adding cream cheese and cream to avoid curdling.
-
This gravy is great for meal prep and stores well in the fridge for 3-4 days.
