Grandma Dot's Brown Gravy

February 28, 2025 • 0 comments

This is Grandma Bertotti's spaghetti SAUCE, which the Italians call GRAVY. I like to double or triple the recipe and freeze the extra for pasta emergencies! Italian Secrets. . . Grandma Dot said to finish off with Romano cheese and only use Del Monte tomato paste. Served with a light tossed salad, sour dough bread and Dago Red - Buon Appetito!

(One pound) Hole-In-One Ranch Ground Beef
(One pound) Hole-In-One Ranch Ground Pork

Directions and Ingredients:

You have to read the directions in order to know what the ingredients are - this is the way I wrote it down as I watched Grandma Dot make it.

I don't want to mess with anything!
