Southern Tips

• Add a splash of milk or cream to the gravy for extra richness.
• Want extra flavor? Mix a little beef bouillon into the gravy.
• This dish is amazing over mashed potatoes with biscuits on the side.

If you want, I can also give you a country-style version with mushroom gravy or a crockpot hamburger steak that cooks all day.
