Other Uses For This Gravy

You already know about pouring gravy on top of your cornbread dressing. But what else can you use the leftover gravy for? I can thing of a few other ways to reuse the gravy so that you don't wast any leftovers.

  • My most favorite things to do is to use my leftover ham and turkey to make sandwiches. I heat the meat, bread, and the pour on so gravy. This is some good eating.
  • Another option is to whip yourself up some homemade mash potatoes. They taste great with leftover gravy. Just spoon the gravy on top of the potatoes and then enjoy the meal.
