Quick Yummy Dinner Idea

One of the recipes that my husband brought to the marriage was something he calls Beef Manhattan.

It's a quick and easy dinner that you could even use with leftover mashed potatoes or instant ones.

This is one of those meals I will show my 11 yr old how to make next time because it really is that easy.

You take sliced roast beef (a lunch meat package is sufficient for a family of 4) and beef gravy (bottled or in the powder form both work just make the powder according to the package directions) and heat it in a skillet with the brown gravy.  I cut up the meat into little squares and just stir it into the gravy while it warms.

Next you can make homemade potatoes or instant for the number of servings you need.  I like to make extra  potatoes when we have meatloaf or something and then use the leftovers a couple days later on this recipe.  I have even faked out the kids and mixed instant into some leftover homemade potatoes if there's not quite enough (my kids aren't fans of instant....I've spoiled them).

Once the potatoes and meat are ready you take a slice of bread, spoon on the potatoes then the meat and gravy.  We also add a vegetable but I 'plated' this for the picture and added my veggies later.

I have also made this with turkey lunch meat and turkey gravy.  I would also like to try it with grilled chicken and chicken gravy sometime.

Hope you enjoy this as much as our family does.
