I Dare You To Eat It

When exactly, is dinner NOT an emergency? 

Tonight my problem was that I just came back into town and spent the entire day playing catch-up on every single thing that didn’t get done during the past week. But with a couple of cans of cooked beef chunks and one can of French onion soup I was able to throw together a meal, STAT.

Even with all the talk of pandemic, tonight’s meal was only a TEST. 

In the event of an actual emergency, I might not have the fresh mushrooms, baked potato, sour cream, steamed broccoli, or hearts of Romaine lettuce leaves. Nevertheless, the cans of cooked beef and onion soup could easily be served over rice, pasta, instant potatoes, or even beans and provide a viable meal for any family.

BEEF CHUNK MUSHROOM GRAVY AND POTATOES

Fresh Ingredients

1/4 cup butter

6-8 large mushrooms, washed and thick sliced

Storage Ingredients

2 cups of instant potatoes

2 cans Roast Beef chunks, with liquid (12 oz. each)

1 can French onion soup (10 3/4 oz.)

3 tablespoons flour

Saute mushrooms in butter until partially softened. Sprinkle with flour and continue cooking for another minute. Pour in the French onion soup and beef chunks with liquid. Stir and simmer until the gravy begins to bubble and thicken. Add salt and pepper as desired. 

Prepare the instant potatoes per package directions. (Just add water.) Serve hot mashed potatoes topped with beef and mushroom gravy and enjoy!
