I loved this... simple, good old fashioned, comfort home cooking. Took very little time and made a great meal. Thanks!

Bland, other versions are better, peas do not go in creamed beef.

This is a favorite go-to meal at our house. We serve it over toast or mashed potatoes. We don't drain the peas because we like the flavor it adds.

I have trouble getting my college brothers to eat anything these days...they couldn't get enough of this recipe! I didn't have onions, except green ones, so used those; and added corn and golden mushroom soup to the meat mixture.

It was good but I changed a bunch of things that I think made it a lot better. First I used left over roast beef that I cross cut so it made short fibers. I also added 1 tsp each of salt, pepper and tarragon and used frozen mixed vegetables instead of just peas. I cut back the milk to 3 cups and used 3 T corn starch instead of all that flour to thicken it. The tarragon really adds a nice touch.

For those of you who have found the receipe bland.... you need to make sure you are seasoning your beef as it cooks. I know the recipe doesn't say to but you should. You must cook your flour well. If you do not cook the flour in the butter long enough before you add the milk. You will taste the flour and the dish will be bland.

My family makes this under the recipe title "Ground Meat and Peas" and serves it over mashed potatoes or bread. Only we use far less milk and do not drain the peas. This will increase the flavor quite a bit. Also when it says add salt and pepper to taste, it should really read, add a 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper, or more to taste. You really need the pepper in this dish. We love it!

This recipe is one of my husband's favorites since we've been married, so I thought I should get around to saying so. You can help boost the flavor a lot by adding Worchesteshire sauce and seasoned salt to the beef/onions while browning, and then adding more seasoned salt to taste once the gravy thickens. Last time we added chopped green pepper to the beef/onion mix and it added some freshness - you can also use unfrozen peas instead of canned for fresher taste. The gravy does take a while to thicken, but it's worth the wait - just keep stirring over med heat. Thanks for posting this - it's an easy meal that makes great leftovers!

I skipped the onions and peas cause I had neither- I added onion powder, garlic salt, a lot of salt and pepper and some crushed red pepper and served with corn. Ate over biscuits- perfect for winter comfort food. My whole family ate it up.
