Tonight was another of those 'before the big grocery' run nights.
So, I decided to make use of the nearly month's worth of hamburgers left in the freezer. I generally buy a big box of the premade patties, just so we have quick dinners once in a while, and it's cheaper than buying the Tupperware stuff that makes and stores them, since I'd have to have like a kajillion of them! Anyway... digression again... seems to be something I do well
So, I took some frozen hamburger patties
And I cooked them until they were done... and then, I drained the grease. Meanwhile, I cheated...
Somebody gave me this stuff, and I figured I didn't want it to go to waste... and honestly, it was worth it! this stuff was GOOD.... so I followed the directions on the package, which entails boiling 1 cup of water, adding the package of gravy mix to another cup of water, mixing well and then adding the mixture to the boiling water... twice, because I used two of these bad boys...
Now, normally, the pepper gravy is made from scratch, with flour and pepper, and milk, lots of milk... but it's "between grocery store run's" time and we're using up what's in the cabinets, you know...
So when this stuff is all nice and thick and bubbly...
I add it to the pan the burgers are waiting in...
Now, during the time I was making the burgers, and the gravy, I was also making four cups of rice. Two 'hamburger steaks' some rice, this lovely gravy, and some corn... and you have dinner!
Also...
I don't know what this cat wants...
Or maybe, just maybe, he'll take out the trash...
And for one more quick update, my kitchen reno has begun... and while I'm not getting anything *new* I am rearranging things to suit how my kitchen flows and my new interest in photographing everything I cook!
Watch my progress over at Mom Stuff!
From the kitchen of a mom, with lots of love!
