Gluten-free White Country Gravy with or without Sausage
It doesn't matter if you make this gluten-free white country gravy with or without sausage; it's always a hit!
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Butter For dairy-free gravy use a light cooking oil like avocado oil.

- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 ½ Teaspoons Pepper
- ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions
Brown the sausage (Skip this step if you are making this country gravy without sausage):
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown your gluten-free sausage until it is in crumbles.½ Cup Ground Sausage
- Remove it from the pan and set it aside.
Make the gluten-free roux:
- In the skillet the sausage was in, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter.2 Tablespoons Butter
- Once the butter is melted, add the cornstarch and whisk it till there is no more dry starch and a thick paste is left.2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
Turn the roux into a gluten-free bechamel:
- Slowly start whisking in the milk. (If you are using a dairy-free alternative, ensure it is not too thick. I like to water down one can of coconut milk with half a can worth of water to make this as a dairy-free gravy).2 ½ Cups Milk
- Whisk the milk until it's incorporated then let it simmer until it starts to thicken slighly.

Notes
Make ahead: You can easily make this gluten-free country gravy ahead of time, although you don't have to since it comes together in just a few minutes. If you do want to make it ahead of time, just let the gravy cool and place it in a container in the fridge until you are ready to eat it. It will last in the fridge for about 2-3 days.
Reheat homemade white gravy: You can microwave this gluten-free gravy in 30-second increments until it is warmed through if you like. I find the best way to warm this homemade gravy is to put it in a pot on the stove over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until it is warm. You might need to add a little bit more liquid to bring the consistency back to where you want it to be.
