Leftover Pork and Gravy Stew

Submitted by carole in orlando

"This is a great dish to use leftover pork and gravy, and it's so easy to fix. I use the crockpot, but it can be done on the stove or in the oven. We love this dish, as it has a little different taste to it."

I made this and we liked it, definitely a keeper for using leftover roast pork. I fudged the amounts a bit as I had more like 3 1/2 cups pork and 1 1/2 cups gravy. I am in Australia and they do not do canned sweet potatoes, so I used about 500g (4 small) fresh sweet potatoes (kumara), peeled and sliced in about 3/4 inch thick slices. I also only had a small onion. I added some extra gravy powder at the end to thicken it.

Okay, who would have thought this strange combination of ingredient would be THIS good? I am amazed! This is really good. I cooked it on the stove, and I was out of hot sauce, so I used taco sauce (not seasoning) and, then when it wasn't spicy enough, I added crushed red chilis and then I also added Santa Fe Chef Seasoning. It is wonderful! Thanks for the great recipe!

This was so good. Thank you. The mixture sounded odd, but it all came together & tasted great.

I made this for dinner tonight and it was a BIG hit! I didn't have the peas so used mixed vegetables instead. I will definately be making this often as we always have leftover pork roast. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

This recipe is a winner. I did it in the crockpot like suggested and when I walked in the house that night it smelled heavenly. This is a fabulous recipe for leftover pork.
