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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter to the skillet with the cooked sausage and stir until it melts completely.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream and chicken broth, stirring as you go. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Taste the gravy and adjust seasonings as needed. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Serve hot over low-carb biscuits, scrambled eggs, or your favorite keto-friendly breakfast base. Enjoy!
