Carnivore Sausage Gravy Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 lb ground pork sausage (look for a high-fat variety)
-
1/4 cup heavy cream (or more for desired creaminess)
-
1/4 cup beef tallow or butter (optional, for added richness)
-
Salt (to taste)
-
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
-
Optional: 1/4 tsp garlic powder or onion powder (for added flavor, though not strictly carnivore)
-
Optional: 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes for a bit of heat (if desired)
Instructions:
-
Cook the Sausage:
-
In a large skillet, cook the ground pork sausage over medium heat. Break it up as it cooks, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes).
-
If the sausage is very lean, you can add a little beef tallow or butter to increase the fat content and add flavor.
-
-
Make the Gravy Base:
-
Once the sausage is cooked, reduce the heat to low. If there’s excess grease, you can drain a little off, but leave some for flavor.
-
Add the heavy cream to the skillet with the sausage. Stir well to combine. Let it simmer gently for 3-5 minutes to allow the cream to thicken slightly.
-
-
Season:
-
Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If you’re using optional spices like garlic powder or onion powder, add them at this stage for extra flavor.
-
-
Thicken the Gravy:
-
If you want a thicker gravy, let it cook a little longer, stirring occasionally. If it’s too thick, you can thin it out by adding a bit more heavy cream or even some water or broth (but make sure it’s zero-carb if you’re sticking strictly to carnivore).
-
-
Final Taste Check:
-
Once the gravy is at your desired consistency, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you like it spicy, you can also add some red pepper flakes here.
-
-
Serve:
-
Serve hot over carnivore-friendly “breads,” eggs, or just enjoy it straight on its own as a rich and flavorful dish.
-
This is a super simple and creamy sausage gravy that fits perfectly with a carnivore lifestyle. You can serve it with scrambled eggs, steak, or even some carnivore “breads” if you’re craving something a little heartier!
