We live in the south and Southern food is always a weakness, but not always the healthiest. Here's my take on a healthy sausage and gravy!

This is quite possibly one of my favorite recipes for 2 reasons:
1. It tastes AMAZING and is so easy to make.
2. Sausage and gravy is such a classic Southern food that I thought would be hard to duplicate, let alone with only 3 ingredients.

I have made it multiple times for people and they can never believe it tastes so good. I have even been told it tastes better than regular gravy! Plus, you don’t get the bloating that comes along with eating regular gravy.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cup raw cashews
2 cups water
1 pound of sausage (make sure it has no preservatives in it- nitrates, nitrites, sulfites, sulfates)

Soak your cashews in warm water the night before. I just took a mason jar and filled it with my cashews and covered them with warm water to sit overnight. In the morning, drain the water out and put the cashews in a blender or food processor.

Put 2 cups of fresh water in with the cashews. Blend until creamy. It took about 30 seconds in my food processor, but just make sure it is ALL blended. It shouldn’t be grainy at all.

Cook your sausage on medium heat. When done drain excess grease. Then put pan back on low-medium to medium heat and add your ‘cashew gravy’. Stir until warm. You can also add more water at this time to thin it out, your call!

Add pepper or any other seasonings you want. Try it and feel free to be skeptical like I was, but I can guarantee you won’t be let down. Add it to your breakfast, lunch, or dinner menu!
