How to Make Low Carb Sausage Gravy

  1. Brown 1 lb of sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Crumble the sausage as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Pour 2 cups of milk into the skillet with the crumbled sausage. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste (about 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper).
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup of freshly brewed coffee. This adds depth of flavor!
  4. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum evenly over the skillet. Stir continuously and patiently for 2-3 minutes, or until the gravy reaches your desired thickness. It will thicken more as it cools. If it seems too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you achieve the right consistency.
