Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1.5 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Pork breakfast sausage
• 1.5 cups Beef broth
• 1.5 cups Water
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Chicken gizzard, finely minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Minced garlic
• 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons Granulated onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Granulated garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the flour to the melted butter and stir constantly to make a roux. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the roux turns a light brown color.

Step 3

Add the ground beef and pork sausage to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until it is browned and cooked through.

Step 4

Stir in the finely minced chicken gizzard and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the gizzards are fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine beef broth, water, and cornstarch. Mix well to dissolve the cornstarch completely.

Step 6

Slowly pour the broth mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 7

Add cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, paprika, granulated onion powder, and granulated garlic powder. Stir until the spices are fully combined.

Step 8

Bring the gravy to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

Step 9

If the gravy thickens too much, you can add a little water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 10

Serve hot over mashed potatoes, fried chicken, or biscuits, and enjoy!
