Instant Pot Sausage Gravy–country style gravy made with ground sausage and diced bacon is infused with flavors as it is quickly pressure cooked. When served over freshly baked biscuits (homemade or from a can) it tastes like a good old fashioned southern breakfast (although we eat this often for dinner).
INSTANT POT SAUSAGE GRAVY
One of my husband’s favorite comfort foods and most often requested dinners is biscuits and gravy. Sometimes I make homemade biscuits (I usually use this recipe) and sometimes I buy a can of refrigerated biscuits at the grocery store. But every time I make it every ounce gets gobbled up.
I decided to try and make the gravy portion of “biscuits and gravy” in the Instant Pot. I combined the recipe from Completely Delicious and a few others that I’ve seen around the internet. The results were a thick country style sausage gravy that tasted absolutely amazing. I liked how deep the Instant Pot inner pot was to stir and make the gravy. Usually when I make it in a frying pan on the stove it doesn’t work as well to make a large batch.
The addition of 2 slices of bacon to the gravy made it so flavorful and by pressure cooking for just a few minutes it infused all the flavors for an amazing gravy that had us licking our plates.
You can easily double this recipe if you’re serving a crowd for brunch and keep your Instant Pot on the Keep Warm setting until you’re ready to serve it.
