Gravy -> Inspiration?
17 years ago
What do you do with a pile of old, freezer-dried ground beef patties? Throw it away. What did I do?
Though there is precedent for making such former meat into Bad Chili ™, I decided to make gravy. Some butter, broth and a little flour, and some slow cooking of the abused beef will do wonders.
Add mashed potatoes and broccoli, and it's almost a real meal. Ever had a salisbury steak frozen dinner? This was slightly better. The gravy was a bit too mild with just one of those beef cubes, so I added a Ramen seasoning packet for extra flavor. Some steak sauce and half an ounce of vinegar finished it off.
We don't have a strainer, so I used one of those spatter shields you put over a pan when frying chicken. The resulting gravy was very nice, and did its job in making the meat edible. This was actually my first gravy ever, and I made it on a whim.
Soon, who knows? I might be cooking actual food all by myself. I have to go food shopping first, though.
