Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon vegetable oil -- or cooking spray
1 large onion -- diced
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
2 envelopes brown gravy mix -- OR prepared gravy
mashed potatoes

Note: I use a dry brown gravy mix available at health food stores. The
brand is Hain.

Heat oil in a skillet; add onion and saute over medium-low heat until
softened. Add the ground beef; brown, breaking beef up into small pieces.
Drain off any excess fat. If using a dry gravy mix, either prepare the
gravy in a separate saucepan and add
to ground beef mixture, OR remove meat from the skillet, set aside,
prepare the gravy in the skillet, then return the meat to the skillet and
heat through. That's it.

Serve over mashed potatoes, either homemade or from a box. Blue plate
special is usually with peas and carrots on the side.

NOTES : Old fashioned comfort food, and nothing could be easier.

Serve with a side of peas and carrots, and imagine you are eating
at the best truckstop on your highway of life.
