This is a quick meal I can make that everyone enjoys. I leave out the canned mushrooms because my gang doesn’t care for them. When I buy ground beef I often cook it up right away and then measure out in 1lb increments and freeze them in bags. Then it is even quicker to make because the beef is already cooked! I often serve with peas because they’re my hubby’s favourite
My husband had some teeth pulled and needed some easy to eat food. Not only did this work perfectly for that it was also delicious served over mashed potatoes. Quick, easy, economical and tasty a winner on all counts. I will be making this again!
A meal in one when you use it it top mashed potatoes. I always add a can of green beans to make it even more hearty.
Great recipe for a busy night. The family really enjoyed it.
I actually thought this recipe was too simple to be very good, but I was wrong! A quick and easy meal (we poured it over biscuits and mashed potatoes).
06/16/2015, Very good! Doubled the recipe for my family of five. Only used one can of mushrooms for double recipe. Added onion and garlic to meat while frying. Also added cayenne and crushed red pepper to taste. Wanted more spice but not more salt. And added a extra cup of milk to double recipe. 06/19/2015, did same today but added a cream of celery soup and green bell pepper to hamburger too.
We enjoyed this dish very much. When I browned the meat I added chopped onions and garlic salt. I will definitely make this again.
I really liked the "bones" of this recipe in that it sounded simple and filling, however, I knew this would not feed my family of 3 teenagers! i did use 1# 93% lean hamburger, 1 can health smart soup, added 2 cans of mushrooms, 1 cup Greek yogurt, a little extra bouillion, frozen peas, fresh cracked pepper and fresh parsley. Instead of mashed potatoes I served the "gravy" over baked potatoes. The result was great and filling. Will definitely make again and serve with a salad.I think the recipe would have been a little bland without the adjustments.
Made it and served it over homemade biscuits. Very good!!! and super easy!
I remember this from my high school cafeteria. It's just as good now as it was then. I did add a little onion; but that was the only change I made to this really easy recipe.
