Keto Chorizo Biscuits & Gravy

Keto Chorizo Biscuits & Gravy

Almond flour, low carb biscuits paired with a spicy chorizo sausage style breakfast gravy for a totally new, fun, keto friendly take to classic biscuits and gravy!

After I created those scrumptious Keto Almond Flour Biscuits last week, I knew I had to make a pretty epic gravy to go with it. Because what’s a perfect keto biscuit without a perfect keto gravy?

I couldn’t just make any ordinary keto gravy either, but a chorizo sausage gravy. And, it didn’t disappoint either! Also, the addition of  cheddar and jalapeno to the biscuits was pretty damn delicious too.

That settles it, you better go make this.

I added some freshly slice jalapenos and fresh grated cheddar to my standard recipe. This resulted in an even more addictive and savory biscuit! Be sure to use fresh grated cheese for a better biscuit consistency too. 

While the biscuits are baking, prepare your gravy. I like to use a shallow saucepan for making the sauce personally.

Start by cooking and browning the chorizo. You can use regular breakfast sausage as well if you prefer. The most important step is to drain the sausage and fat onto a paper towel and set it aside before starting the gravy.

My approach to a keto gravy is to use a little cream cheese like you would a roux and to heat heavy cream in a pan together. If you need it a little thicker then add a small amount of xanthan gum or cornstarch.

Once the gravy base is thickened and heated through, return the sausage to the gravy and mix until combined.

Taste to season if needed. The chorizo is very flavorful and does add a lot of salt and spice to the sauce. I usually add pepper and cumin. Serve a ladle full of chorizo gravy over your beautiful cheddar and jalapeno biscuits.
