A twist on an old favorite!

Oh the memories of Childhood...

(circa 1981)
I was the oldest child of six kids
and my parents had a dry-farm that was 40 miles away from where we lived and so from Monday-Saturday most weeks of the summer were spent at the farm, helping with the crops and animals, cleaning the house and most important, making sure the hard working men had a YUMMY meal to eat each afternoon.

Our main meal during the summer was at NOON.
(the evening meal consisted of bottled fruit and bread, sandwiches, or something light).

I remember vividly, helping my mom in the kitchen preparing the Noon-time meal. The thing that stuck with me the most was when she would make up Hamburger Gravy. She would brown up hamburger with chopped onions and garlic powder, add in flour and milk and boil and simmer and the serve it over a plate of mashed potatoes.
It was SO yummy and yet SO easy
and I always marveled at that.
Basic ingredients that tasted SO good when made into this tasty dish.

A few years ago
I came across an article on replacing cauliflower for mashed potatoes and so I made up hamburger gravy served over lightly steamed cauliflower and it was SO delicious and a big hit with my family.

We have a local store (WINCO) where quite often you can get a whole head of cauliflower for .98 to $1.48 each and I buy plenty of cauliflower and make up this tasty meal.

I always have HAPPY kids
and hubby when this meal is fixed!

Hamburger Gravy
1 pound ground beef
1 large onion chopped
1-1/4 tsp. granulated garlic
1/2 cup flour
2-1/2 cups milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Brown ground beef and chopped onion until meat is no longer pink.
Add in granulated garlic and flour and coat meat well.
Then add in milk and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes.

Serve over our family favorite...CAULIFLOWER
(or you can do the old fashioned way of serving it over mashed potatoes).

Any way you serve it, it will be delicious!
Enjoy!
