Recipe - Blue Plate Special

1 tablespoon Vegetable oil; or cooking
spray
1 lg Onion; minced
1 One half pound Lean ground beef
2 Envelopes brown gravy mix;
OR prepared gravy
Mashed potatoes

Note: I use a dry brown gravy mix available at health food stores. The
brand is Hain.

Heat oil in a skillet; add onion and saute over mediumlow heat until
softened. Add the ground beef; brown, breaking beef up into small pieces.
Drain off any excess fat. If using a dry gravy mix, either prepare the
gravy in a separate saucepan and add to ground beef mixture, OR remove meat
from the skillet, set aside, prepare the gravy in the skillet, then return
the meat to the skillet and heat through. That's it.

Serve over mashed potatoes, either homemade or from a box. Blue plate
special is usually with peas and carrots on the side.
