Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef

1 onion

2 cloves garlic

1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon pepper

3 Tablespoons Flour

1 ½ cups beef broth

1 cube beef bouillon (or 1 tsp better than bouillon)

½ cup half and half

10 ½ oz cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz.)

1 cup milk

8 oz. white button mushrooms (sliced, rinsed, and patted dry)

1 cup frozen mixed vegetables

Directions

Brown the beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions halfway through and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Add the Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and flour. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes, until you can no longer smell flour.

Add the beef broth, in small splashes and use a silicone spatula to "clean" the bottom and sides of the skillet. Add the half and half in the same manner, followed by the beef bouillon. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it bubble gently, it will continue to thicken and concentrate.

Once near your desired level of thickness, serve over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or with biscuits.

See notes on optional ingredient additions such as vegetables or cream of mushroom soup.
