My obsession outside of baking is scrumptious sausage gravy. When I want comfort food (as in last night) this makes me so happy – and my tummy all full of yumminess. I have come to the realization that I abhor nearly all fake meat products but that the sausage I can handle – if in a dish. It has the right flavor/texture and yeah, real sausage isn’t something I should be eating.
“Sausage” Gravy
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp canola oil
- 2 cups diced onion (about 1 large sweet onion)
- 14 ounce chub vegan “sausage”
- 1 Tbsp fresh diced sage leaves (8-10 leaves or so)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 to 1½ tsp ground black pepper
- 3 cups of unsweetened almond milk
Directions:
Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium, add the onions and cook for a couple of minutes, add the sausage and break up into chunks. Stir often as it cooks, breaking into smaller and smaller pieces with a firm spatula or wooden spoon.
When the onions and sausage are smelling great and look done add in the sage and cook for a minute, add in the flour and pepper and stir for a couple of minutes, till the flour is cooked through.
Slowly stir in the milk, until it is smooth and thick and gently bubbling.
Test for seasoning and add more black pepper as desired (and I suppose salt, but for me the sausage has plenty enough!).
Serve over hot biscuits and chow down!
Serves 3-4.

This looks dangerously good! Very Good!
Ok, the fact that you can make gravy is amazing. I don’t know why but it’s just something I’ve been able to figure out yet.
Melissa, Try try and try some more – worse is you throw it down the sink or in the compost bin 😉
okay… now I’m just sad I didn’t know this for the countless family breakfasts. Or, in other words, the vegan watching everyone gorge out on meaty, dairy based gravy and biscuits. 🙂 This’ll come in handy!
Exactly! Why should we go without? 😉 Funny is…I love vegan B&G more than the “real” stuff. For one it is way less greasy so my tummy loves me! And no icky meat preservatives either! That and it will fool almost anyone – they will think they are getting the non-vegan version 😉
It’s a stormy day here today and this sounds perfect for dinner.
