Our grandma has this funny sign in her kitchen that says, “Grandma’s Kitchen: Open 24/7.” It always gives us a good laugh and we joke about how it is more so for grandpa than for all the grandchildren… since he’s there more frequently than we are. Sure, we tease him, but really, we can’t blame him. We love how she’ll endlessly whip up our favorite bites when we visit. And when it comes to dinnertime, she always makes us her Grandma’s Cubed Steak & Gravy dish that just makes our tastebuds go wild. We’ll load our plates up with creamy mashed potatoes topped with the most tender steak and the tastiest gravy as we talk about our most cherished memories together… most of which are surrounding a table eating this dish. We love that her kitchen has brought us such precious moments and we hope that Grandma’s Cubed Steak & Gravy will do the same for you!
