No ratings yet

This gluten-free sausage gravy is one of my favorite weekend meals, especially when I’m craving something cozy and comforting. It’s rich, creamy, and perfect spooned over a warm biscuit or some crispy breakfast potatoes. I love that it comes together in one pan with just a few pantry staples, making it an easy option for gluten-free eaters or anyone who wants to bring a little Southern-style comfort food to the table.

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and cooked through. If the sausage rendered less than 3 tbsp of fat, add enough butter to make up the difference.
Sprinkle the gluten-free flour, black pepper, nutmeg, and sage evenly over the sausage and stir until the flour is fully absorbed. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
Gradually add the milk while stirring constantly, scraping up any bits from the pan. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy is thickened and smooth. Season with salt to taste.
Then, serve hot over biscuits, toast, or roasted potatoes. Enjoy!

Notes

Want it thicker? Simmer a few minutes longer or stir in an extra teaspoon of flour.
Prefer a smoother gravy? Use a potato masher or spoon to break the sausage into finer bits.
Add a pinch of crushed red pepper or cayenne if you like a little heat.
Use a whisk when adding the milk for the smoothest result.
