Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, cook Salt Pork over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, about 20-25 minutes. Remove Salt Pork with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
Sprinkle All-Purpose Flour into the rendered fat and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually whisk in Chicken Broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder. Continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
Return the cooked Salt Pork to the gravy and heat through. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice.
