Bacteria can and does grow just about everywhere, from the hot thermal vents at the bottom of the ocean to ice caves. Gravy is actually a pretty good medium for growing bacteria - there is a fair amount of available water, gravy is usually not stored in an air-tight container so there is plenty of oxygen for the aerobic bacteria, and gravy has a relatively abundant supply of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
