This dish pairs wonderfully with a freshly baked loaf of crusty bread to soak up the savory gravy. Consider serving it alongside a simple green salad with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness.

For a true Midwestern touch, add a side of sweet corn or steamed green beans with a pat of butter. And don’t forget a slice of homemade pie for dessert to complete the meal. It creates a welcoming, uncomplicated dinner that everyone will love.
