Yep, we took hamburger meat and browned it with salt, pepper and a few other seasonings. Grated the potatoes onto the top and let them steam. Put some shredded cheese on the top. Just like the hamburger helper you buy at the store. Add a bit of flower and water or milk, and you have the gravy.
That sounds like what we used to make except we used a lot of onion while cooking the hamburger. Instead of cheese we’d put the old dried out “what was left of the bread” crumbled up on top and browned in the broiler. Cheese on top of that would be awesome.
This has made me hungry..so I think I’ll make some tomorrow!
