Ingredients

14 oz of Plant Based Sausage, Ground
2-3 tbsp Whole Wheat Flour
3-4 cups of Plant Milk
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast

Preparation

In your frying pan brown your Plant Sausage.
Once browned, sprinkle in your flour over top.
Slowly pour in your plant milk. 1 cup at a time, stir continuously as you add a total of 3 cups of plant milk. Cook until it has thickened into a gravy-like consistency.
Add in nutritional yeast.
Your gravy will thicken as it cools. Allow to cool a bit before serving.

Consider the Type of Whisk:

Balloon Whisk: Perfect for whipping, beating, and incorporating air. It’s great for making gravies, sauces, or even whipping up plant-based cream.
Flat Whisk: Ideal for stirring and deglazing, especially when you’re working with thick sauces or gravies. It fits nicely into corners of pans, making it easy to scrape up any bits stuck at the bottom.
Mini Whisk: If you're making small batches or need to get into tight spots (like a small bowl), a mini whisk is your go-to.

And that’s it—your hearty, flavorful vegan sausage gravy is ready to serve! It’s perfect over biscuits, toast, or even hash browns, and it’s always a crowd-pleaser, especially during the holidays.
