Tammy's Review: 

This is my last-minute, out-of-inspiration, no-groceries, no-menu-plan, no-time meal saver! It's quick to make, cheap to make (especially if you have some meat in the freezer from the last sale), and we love the taste.

Last time I made this, Joshua said, "You know, this is really a good meal. You should put it on your website." So, here it is! It's nothing fancy, but it has saved my day more than once. My rating: 10/10.

Yum! Excellent "Sausage" Gravy

I like this better than my previous hamburger gravy recipe, which I didn't make as often as my husband might have liked. This one was so good that I was snitching it as it cooked! But, it did also taste good over biscuits. :-)

I used 1/2 tsp salt and increased the pepper to 3/4 tsp as Tammy suggested. This recipe is going to be copied into my file to replace my existing one.

We call this Beef Stroganoff

It's probaly like a poor man's beef stroganoff, but it was one of my favorites growing up. My hubby prefers it over rice. I love it that Tammy uses a homemade white sauce base instead of the MSG laden cream of mushroom that was in my childhood recipe. But mushrooms saute'd with the onions/garlic mix would be good! I also add a big plop of sour cream to the mix, and that adds some nice zip & creaminess as well.

I love this!

This is so my kind of meal...nothing fancy, just good-tasting, hot, filling food! My husband agrees. It has become one of my regular rotation meals!

A perfect quick meal

It was late, we had no menu plan, and I needed something for supper, so I tried Tammy's "last-minute, out-of-inspiration, no-groceries, no-menu-plan, no-time meal saver!" It was quick and filling. I've probably had a better meal, but it was just what we needed for that night.
