I grew up on this recipe! My parents PGd the title down for us calling it poop on the roof, although the title is not all that appealing the meal is delish! We always put it over mashed potatoes and threw insome onions and garlic and used regular milk instead of evaporated.

This turned out awesome! I did make a few changes, however. I did use 1 lb. lean ground beef, 2 1-/2 tbls. butter and I used about 5 tbls. flour, I used chicken broth instead of beef, as I was out and I used the whole can of broth, so as not to waste. I also microwaved frozen veges in my microcooker and then added it all together. I took refrig. biscuits and baked those in the oven while preparing the rest. Just open the biscuits up and pour on the sauce! My whole family, including my older infant daughter loved it!

Family loved it with a few changes. Cooked ground beef with onions and garlic powder. Then made roux with flour and butter. Added one can of beef consomme, milk, more garlic powder, seasoning salt, parsley, pepper, and worchestershire. Thickened a little more with a mixture of corn starch and water. Served over toast and it was awesome!

This is much better than how my Mom made it when I was little, I took the first reviewer's advice and added chopped onion, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. This was so yummy! I served it over mashed potatoes like my Mom used to, great recipe :)

Really good! I made a few alterations. first, I used onion and garlic in browning the meat. worchesteshire sauce as others added too. the ratio of fat to flour in the roux didnt' work for me. I had globs of flour, not a smooth paste. tossed that and made it one to one ratio. that worked great. I used about 3/4 of the can of evap milk to the 1 cup beef broth, added some dill to the whole thing, and served over pasta. the kiddos gobbled it up! the hub raved.
