🥓 Carnivore Sausage Gravy
Zero Carb | Keto | Carnivore-Friendly | Gluten-Free
🔸 Description:
This rich, meaty gravy is creamy, filling, and perfect for pouring over carnivore-friendly “breads” (like egg loaves or chaffles) or simply eaten with a spoon! Made with just a few ingredients, it’s ready in minutes and hits all the right savory notes — no flour, no carbs, no compromises.
🧾 Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground sausage (pork sausage, no sugar or fillers)
- 4 oz cream cheese (full-fat, softened)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
(Note: sausage is usually salty enough on its own)
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Brown the Sausage:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned.
- Break it up into crumbles as it cooks.
- Add Cream Cheese:
- Lower heat to medium-low.
- Add the cream cheese to the pan and stir until melted and fully combined.
- Pour in Cream:
- Slowly add heavy whipping cream while stirring.
- Simmer for about 5–7 minutes until thickened to your desired consistency.
- Season and Serve:
- Taste before adding salt — most sausage is already well-seasoned.
- Add pepper if desired.
- Serve hot.
📝 Notes & Tips:
- Use good-quality sausage with minimal ingredients (just pork and spices is ideal).
- For a thicker gravy, let it simmer longer or reduce cream slightly.
- Make it spicier with hot sausage or a pinch of cayenne.
- Perfect for breakfast over eggs, chaffles, or meat waffles.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 3–4 days and reheat gently.

❓ Q&A:
Q: Can I make this with beef instead of sausage?
A: Yes, but sausage adds more flavor. Add seasonings like sage, garlic, and paprika if using plain beef.
Q: Can I freeze this?
A: Yes! It freezes well. Store in airtight containers for up to 1 month. Reheat slowly.
Q: What can I serve it over if I’m strict carnivore?
A: Try over eggs, hamburger patties, or carnivore “buns” made from eggs and cheese.
Q: Is it zero-carb?
A: Nearly! Cream cheese and heavy cream have trace carbs, but per serving, it’s usually under 1g net carbs.
