I loved this! It was so good...and the next day leftovers I thought were even better. I made this exactly as written,except I didn't use instant potatoes. I must not have waited long enough before serving, although it was like 30 minutes because it was still too thin. The next day though it had thickened up alot and was yummy! I also make this with chicken and chicken broth and it is equally as good. I will be making this again and again. Thank you for posting this!

This was so warming after another drizzly, foggy Alaskan day! You saved me from having to make my husband his favorite hamburger gravy. He is now trying to figure out how to take this to hunting camp. I had to make some tweaks, I didn't have beef broth so I used brown gravy and left out the flour. I drained the tomatos like someone else suggested and had to use frozen chopped onions, cause it's what I had, I threw them in after I browned the beef and drained it, along with the frozen corn. But it still turned out wonderful. Next time I think I will thicken it a hair more but it was so tasty and warm! Thanks for a keeper!
