Old-Fashion Hamburger Gravy
This recipe is a true classic hamburger gravy recipe it’s so easy and delicious! Back in the 1960’s, my parents were (their mid twenties) raising 5 young children. Money was tight and at times food was scarce. With only a pound of hamburger, my mom could prepare about once a week, feeding the whole family.
And nowadays, as I prepare this traditional hamburger gravy with mashed potatoes for my family, I'm reminded of fond memories of my family when I was a child. It’s still a favorite of mine.
