Chef Jenn’s Tips to Make This Keto Sausage Recipe

  • Start with good quality sausage. You’re going to add so much flavor to this stewed sausage dish so don’t worry about getting a flavored sausage.
  • Mild Italian sausage is my first pick for this dish.
  • If you want it spicier, go for hot Italian sausage.
  • Smoked hot paprika adds lovely smoked flavor to this dish but cayenne pepper or red chili flakes will work if you don’t have or can’t find the smoked hot paprika. I recommend getting some – it has such a unique flavor!
  • If your stew gets too thick, add a few spoons of water to thin it out.
  • Crushed tomatoes are the same as tomato puree, or you can use tomato sauce if that’s all you’ve got. Just watch the sugar content.

What To Serve With This Keto Sausage Stew

You totally need something cheesy and silky with this dish, like my Creamy Cheesy Mashed Cauliflower. Spoon the hot stewed sasusage over the mashed cauliflower and you’ll be in MmmMmm Land!

Or, eat the stew as it is with a salad or a nice green veggie like this broccoli dish. Here’s another option – this Roasted Cauliflower And Butternut Squash With Bacon would be a tasty treat!

Serve it with noodles or mashed potatoes for the non-keto members of your family.

Is This Easy Keto Stew Recipe Freezer Friendly?

So totally yes!

Simply chill this pork sausage stew and then freeze it in zipper-top freezer bags or freezer-safe containers for up to three months.

Thaw it and warm it up in the microwave or on the stovetop in a pot to eat it.

My favorite way to freeze saucy and soupy recipes is by using Souper Cubes! These amazing freezer-safe cubes are perfect for freezing portions of all my favorite soups, stews, and other saucy meals. I freeze them then pop them out and put the rectangular frozen blocks into a zipper-top freezer bag. It makes storing them SOOOO much easier!

Where can you find these Soup Cubes? You can order them from Souper Cubes – how cool is this?

How long does it take to make easy Sausage Stew?

What kind of sausage do you use to make keto Sausage Stew?
