I love this recipe! It’s my, “I’m really tired but I have 4 kids I have to feed” recipe. I add a packet of ranch mix in with the gravy mix to give it a little extra flavoring. Sooo good!
Great idea, we have done it with Italian dressing mix too!
Simple and it looks delicious! This is a must-try for my family and thank you for sharing!
Can you make this with ground venison? This sounds delicious and I know my husband will love it!.
Thank you and your husband for your service. I am a Navy Veteran and have 2 sons who serve in the Army and Air Force. The military is very important to me!
Thank you for your service and your sons too! I would say yes you can use it with venison, I’ve never done it so please let me know how it turns out.
Thank you for your selfless service. My daddy was an Air Force Veteran MP.
Turned out delicious! I had mushrooms that needed cooked and only had two packs of mushroom gravy! It worked so well using this recipe!
Can this be frozen, I made way too much!
I’ll be trying this tonight except I’ll be using Better Than Beef Bouillion gravy and I’ll be adding garlic as well. I had an idea in mind for dinner and found this recipe. Thanks for sharing it!!
Hi, I would like to try this recipe but wanted to know with the gravy do I open the gravy packets and add it to the ground meat mixture or do I mix the gravy with water as directed on the packet and pour it in with the ground meat?
I just poured it in with the meat mixture. The gravy packet and water. Mixed it all together.
