Ingredients

1/2 cup McCormick brown gravy mix
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped onions
3 Tbsp salted butter
Note: Use the pan drippings from your fried meat (like Recipe #57 Hamburger Steak) for extra flavor.

Instructions

Prep the Skillet: After cooking your meat, pour off any excess grease from the skillet. Ensure the remaining drippings are not burnt (if they are too dark or smell bitter, start with a clean pan instead).
Sauté: Melt the 3 tablespoons of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent.
Mix: In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the McCormick brown gravy mix and the milk until smooth and no lumps remain.
Thicken: Pour the milk mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms and onions.
Simmer: Cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy reaches a boil, thickens, and becomes bubbly.
Serve: Pour the hot gravy over your hamburger steaks or favorite side dish and enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For the best results, always whisk your gravy mix into cold milk before adding it to the hot pan; this prevents clumping and ensures a perfectly smooth gravy every time.
