Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground pork sausage (you can use mild or spicy based on preference)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup almond flour (used as a thickener)
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk substitute)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet or frying pan over medium heat, cook the ground pork sausage, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks, until it’s browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
- Prepare the gravy:
- Add butter to the skillet with the drippings from the sausage. Allow the butter to melt.
- Sprinkle almond flour over the melted butter and drippings. Stir continuously to combine and cook for about 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
- Add the liquid:
- Slowly pour in the almond milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This might take around 5-7 minutes.
- Season and finish:
- Once the gravy has thickened, season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy, heating it through for a couple of minutes.
