“The whole family will love these ribs!” The meat is so tender, it will simply fall off the bone, and the gravy is perfect with either mashed potatoes or rice. -Helena Ivy of St. Louis, Missouri

Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 pounds bone-in beef short ribs
  • 1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

  • 1 envelope brown gravy mix
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • Hot mashed potatoes
