Ingredient Tid Bits

  • Breakfast sausage – Use bulk pork sausage, often sold in a tube. Read the label to make sure it is gluten-free and no fillers have been added. To keep the recipe lighter, turkey sausage may be used.
  • Gluten-free flour – I use and recommend Cup4Cup gluten-free flour, but many readers have swapped out their preferred all-purpose blends. I don’t recommend using cornstarch in this recipe for thickening.
  • Milk – For thick and creamy gravy, use whole or 2% milk. While skim will save calories, it will have a thinner consistency and a subdued taste. For a dairy-free white gravy, using a non-dairy milk also works.
  • Butter – While the sausage drippings are used to flavor the sauce, a little pad of butter adds an extra boost of flavor.
  • Seasoning – Salt, pepper, and seasoned salt. A dash on onion powder or garlic powder may also be added.

Brown the sausage and seasonings

Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a wooden spoon to break up the sausage as it cooks. Don’t drain the grease because that is flavor! In fact, we’re even going to add a pat of butter to play up the flavor.

Once it’s cooked through, stir in the seasonings and GF flour to coat the cooked sausage.

Gradually stir in milk

We’re almost done! See how easy this is?! Very slowly add in the milk over lower heat. The mixture will get very thick and that’s fine! Adding about ½ cup at a time prevents lumps from forming in the gravy. Just keep adding until it loosens up to the consistency you want your white sauce.

Immediately serve for the best homestyle gluten-free biscuits and gravy ever!

Which breakfast sausage is gluten-free?

Fortunately, finding a gluten-free breakfast sausage is easy and there are several to choose from. However, many manufacturers do not specifically label their sausage as such, so always read the label to make sure there are no fillers.

Safe brands to choose from include Applegate Farms, Bob Evans, Tennessee Pride, Wellshire Farms, and Smithfield, which are stocked at major grocery stores.

Can I make this dairy-free?

To make dairy-free and gluten-free sausage gravy, either omit the butter from the recipe, substitute vegan butter, or swap out for olive oil.

Replace the milk with a non-dairy-alternative, such as almond milk. I do not recommend coconut milk because the flavor it will add.

Notes

Nutritional Facts are calculated without biscuits.
 
storing and reheating
After the gravy has cooled completely, transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator up to three days.
To freeze, store leftovers in a ziplock freezer bag and lay flat. Thaw overnight in the fridge before gently reheating.
When reheating sausage gravy, it has a tendency to be a lot thicker. Warm over low heat, adding additional milk or broth to a desired consistency. You may have to adjust the seasoning, especially if adding a lot more milk.
