I am going old school on this one. I have to admit one of my favorite lunches while in grade school was Hamburger Gravy over Mashed Potatoes, I still think of it often today. Talk about "comfort food".
I have been thinking about making it for quite some time, my husband helped me "kick it up" and make a more flavorful adult version! It was soo good and brought back many memories!
1 lb ground beef (I used 15% lean), you need some fat for the gravy
1 onion diced
1/8 to 1/4 cup of flour
4 cups milk
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbl onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup dried mushroom (fresh would work as well)
3 tbl of the concentrated beef broth
Cayenne to taste
Saute beef and onion until browned
Add the flour and cook until browned, add your milk and bring the mixture to a very low boil.
Add your spices, beef broth, and mushrooms, then stir, stir, stir until it comes to the consistency you like.
You can serve over Mashed Potatoes or Rice

This sounds absolutely delicious Cheryl, I am playing catch up, I missed some posts, and I cant belive I wasnt a follower?? Go figure, me your biggest fan

I just made this recipe. It's very good. I also have a recipe that takes Lipton Onion Soup, you know the dry stuff in a box. And this recipe tasts a lot like that to me anyway.
Does anyone know the actual School Recipe for this?
