Brown and crumble 8 oz of ground beef. Drain (if using beef patties I recommend rinsing under cool water to remove extra salt) Prepare gravy mix per package instructions (divide in half). Add 1 cup of gravy with drained beef and corn, heat through and serve over a bed of mashed potatoes Alternative idea, substitute country gravy for brown gravy, and substitute corn for peas and carrots for a deconstructed cottage pie. #dollartreedinners #EasyRecipe #5dollardinner #cheapdinner #weeknightmeals #howtoeatcheap #cheapmealideas #dinneronabudget #hamburgergravy #sos #chinesepie #patechinois #noovenrecipe #fillingrecipe #childhoodmeals #kidfriendlyrecipe
