Note
For a vegan version, substitute the ground beef with a plant-based ground meat alternative and use a vegetarian gravy mix.
The dish can be kept warm on a low heat setting or in a slow cooker for several hours; the flavors will meld and improve over time.
Traditional serving suggestions include instant mashed potatoes and brown toast. You can also serve this over rice or egg noodles.
If you prefer a richer flavor, you can brown the mushrooms separately before adding them to the beef, though browning them together is faster and still delicious.
Adjust the amount of water added to the mushroom liquid based on how thick you prefer your gravy.
