ITALIAN SUNDAY GRAVY
Cher in Texas, Riffraff, and Bratty 1 have inspired me to post this recipe. It is a very humble dish and is usually my Sunday dinner. It is the Sunday dinner of many Italian-Americans. I know there are probably a million ways to make this dish--please give my version a try.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my gravy turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor. Maybe I'll try adding more garlic and oregano next time.

[email protected]This gravy was a bit too heavy for my taste. The flavor was good, but it was just too thick and rich. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
