Jersey Girl's Mama's Sunday Pork Gravy

By DomesticMuse

If you have never made slow cooked Sunday gravy, you have to try this. Your house will smell wonderful and you might even have the neighbors come running over. I switch meats depending on what's in the freezer but chicken, pork or beef can be used. And do me one favor. This is NOT sauce, so make sure you call it gravy!
