Pork with Gravy
Lately, one of my favorite go-to meals to make my family is pork roast. Along with pork tenderloin, it’s easy to find on sale, so it’s easy to keep on a budget. And, pork roast is delicious!
But, I have something to admit: I used to throw out my pork drippings instead of using them. Then it occurred to me I would never do that with beef drippings – I would always make beef gravy! So, why waste the pork drippings when it’s so easy and quick to make your own pork roast gravy?
All you need is a few simple ingredients, a saucepan, a whisk, and 10 minutes! Use my delicious gravy for pork roast, pork steaks, or any pork dinner. This is the best gravy with pork!
The drippings from a pork roast are packed with flavor and goodness that store-bought gravy packets just don’t have! Pork drippings are just calling to be made into a savory, easy gravy.
