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
  • 10.5 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

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

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