I was thinking about posting this and saw you already did...it is truly a comfort food and real easy on the pocketbook too. I've been making it for over 40 years. However, I add fresh diced garlic as well as a few drops of Worceshire Sauce. We always have it for a quick supper.

This recipe was made on 7/5/09 for mine and SO's dinner. Since my SO, has Caveman tendencies ( READ: A BIG meat eater :) )about 4 more ounces of meat was added to the recipe. And the amounts of flour and milk were adjusted accordingly. After cooking and placing over Recipe#275658, we both thought that it could use alot more seasoning. If this is made again, I think that maybe some crushed red pepper and seasoned salt will be added to the meat/ onion mixture as it's browning. But thanks for taking time to post this recipe, and " Keep Smiling :) "

This is a delicious gravy for breakfast, served it with hot biscuits. It would also be great for a quick dinner meal. I do suggest doubleing the recipe for 4 people. I made the full recipe for the 2 of us and my DH eat over half of it. Thank you Judy, for posting the recipe I will be making this again & soon.

This recipe is very good, & low in sodium. I will try this recipe with low sodium biscuits or low sodium cornbread.
