"That smells good. I could smell it when I was coming in." Pop Jones says he can smell the goodness all the way in the garage as he was coming in from work. These little delicious bites in gravy are absolutely amazing and so easy to make. You can do them in the pan as I did, or bake them in the oven as our family before us did. Either way, I hope you make them. Original recipe below as well as the changes I made.
Enjoy!
