Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Sausage Cajun Gravy
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat, allowing it to warm up for about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced andouille sausage to the hot skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and fragrant.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing them for about 4-5 minutes over medium heat.
  4. Next, add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt completely, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning, along with salt and pepper, stirring to combine for 1 minute.
  6. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while vigorously stirring to prevent any lumps, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Slowly mix in the heavy cream, stirring gently for another 2-3 minutes until fully incorporated.
  8. At this point, taste your gravy and adjust the seasoning as needed with additional salt, pepper, or hot sauce.
  9. Carefully ladle the finished gravy over fluffy rice, warm biscuits, or creamy grits.
