DH would probably eat this 7 days a week! He said this is the best recipe of all. I liked the easy preparation. I started it off on med. hi, put the heat up to boil the gravy for a minute, and then simmered it for a couple minutes. It was smooth and very tasty! -
I grew up eating this stuff! My mom always made it without the onion, but I personally prefer it with the onion. You could also add a little diced green bell pepper for flavor if you have no onions. This is the only gravy I like and it is so wonderful on toast! -
Excellent! I made this 2 times, and used dried beef that was lower in sodium the second time. With the second batch, it had a much better taste. Thanks! -
I make this for supper for my husband, but I add peas to it just before it is done. We love it. -
Very good, my husband said he hasn't had this in 10+ years and this was the best he can remember. I rinsed the beef also, and used skim milk. Turned out fine.

This is simple comfort food for cold evenings following busy days. My husband also likes the version using browned ground beef instead of the dried beef. I always rinse (and sometimes soak) the jarred beef before using to reduce sodium content.
