This recipe is from a friend of my mom’s (June) in Corpus Christi. June is a fabulous cook and every time I go see my mom, we go visit June and she always hands me a couple of her favorite recipes. This one, I immediately came home and tried and Randy and I and the family we had over loved them……they really are good. So tender and the flavor is just awesome. (I did add a little garlic powder to the gravy mix because I am one of those people that just don’t think there is enough garlic in the world,ha)*
*Once I used 1 cup of the water and 1 cup of french onion soup as my liquid for the gravy….I think I liked that even more, just because it gave more of an onion flavor.
