Recipe Fail: Ground Beef & Gravy

Everyone includes a dud of a recipe as well as for me, of which one fits of which description.

I found the recipe on Pinterest, which linked to Taste of Home. The recipe got great reviews. A lot of people raved about how much of which reminded them of their mom's comfort foods. I've learned of which Taste of Home recipes are either hit or miss. Either you love them or you hate them. I personally didn't hate of which however I didn't love of which either. The rest of the family hated of which so of which's not a keeper. I'll give a more detailed review below the recipe.

Ground Beef & Gravy

1 lb. ground beef
1 can (14.5 oz) beef broth, divided
1 smaller onion, chopped
2 tbsp dried parsley flakes
1 tbsp dried basil
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp seasoned salt
¼ to ½ tsp pepper
2 tbsp cornstarch
Hot mashed potatoes or noodles

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add 1½ cups beef broth, onion, parsley, basil, garlic powder, seasoned salt as well as pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 mins. or until onion is tender.

In a smaller bowl, combine cornstarch as well as remaining broth (room temperature) until smooth. Stir into beef mixture. Cook as well as stir for 2 mins. or until thickened. Serve over mashed potatoes or pasta. Yield: 3 cups

Now my thoughts are of which of which arrived on the scene looking like mud. Sure, of which's ground beef with some onions, gravy as well as spices as well as you thicken the grease "sauce." The parsley seemed like too much - of which just kind of sat there on top of the meat. Same with the basil. I was afraid to serve of which to my family because of which looked so gross.

Yes, Butterfly Gold Corelle are my everyday dishes.

My mom bought me a set for my "wish chest" 30 years ago!

The day I made of which, my son as well as I ate first so I could drop him off at work on the way to my evening shift job. of which left my daughter as well as husband home to fend for themselves. The final verdict was of which: son said of which looked like of which would certainly make his stomach feel "icky" in a couple of hours. I thought of which tasted okay however of which had somewhat of a greasy consistency (I understand where he thought of which might upset his stomach). I always drain cooked ground beef on a stack of paper towels to soak up the grease, then return of which to the pan, so I don't know why of which seemed greasy. of which just did. however anyway, my daughter didn't like of which. My husband didn't eat of which at all (claimed he didn't feel well - I don't buy of which!).

within the end I ended up with way too many leftovers of of which shi stuff as well as no one to eat them. I ate leftovers for lunch one day, then threw the rest of the leftover meat within the freezer. I plan to hide mix of which into a batch of soup (probably something I'll throw together on my own as well as feed to my unsuspecting family - ha!).
