Instructions
  1. Slice sausage into small slices. Brown in short stock pot on medium-high heat until lightly browned; remove, cover and set aside.
  2. Add butter, return to medium heat. Add garlic and sweat, then add flout; whisk until smooth.
  3. Add beef broth and/or stock (can prolly use either for both, this is what I had) a bit at a time, whisking between to keep smooth.
  4. Add marjoram, pepper, thyme, and salt, whisking frequently. Stir until thickened.
  5. While the sauce is cooking, cook the egg noodles per package instructions.
  6. When the sauce has thickened "nicely", and the noodles are done, add the noodles and sausage to the sauce and cook until everything is well heated together.
  7. Serve immediately with ... stuff, I don't know, I had cream peas and crescent rolls, but whatever floats your boat!

Instructions
  1. Slice the beef across the grain into thin strips. Salt and pepper the beef to taste.
  2. Melt half of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Brown the hamburger or sear the beef strips until browned on all sides. Remove from pan to a plate and set aside.
  4. Melt the remaining half of butter in the same skillet.
  5. Cooking the veggies: start with the onion, give them a couple of minutes to start turning a bit translucent, then add the garlic, give it all a stir or two, then add the mushrooms. The garlic shouldn't really take much longer than the mushrooms. Cook until it's all tender and smells amazing!
  6. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables in the skillet and stir for one minute.
  7. Turn the heat to low and whisk in the beef broth slowly.
  8. Allow the broth mixture to come to a simmer and thicken.
  9. Once the mixture has thickened, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika, and sour cream.
  10. Stir in the beef and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes.
  11. Serve over hot cooked egg noodles.
Recipe Notes

Steve wants more sour cream flavor, so we're going to add more sour cream, and I'm increasing the bits for the sauce - I think it needs more sauce!  I also think I was perhaps a bit anxious about getting dinner done - or maybe just hungry - so I didn't cook down the sauce enough, so we'll be working on that too.  Sorry, I'm horrible with timing stuff, and really, really good with just dumping ingredients in, but I'll try to document this one a bit better.

Hope you enjoy!

Instructions
  1. Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in medium sized pot. Cover with at least an inch of cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender (about 20 minutes).
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until tender, about 6 to 10 minutes.
  3. If you are including vegetables, add them according to their cooking time. Carrots should be cooked with the onions, because they take as long to cook as the onions do.
  4. If you are including peas or corn, add them toward the end of the cooking of the onions, or after the meat starts to cook, as they take very little cooking time.
  5. Add ground lamb to the pan with the onions and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink.
  6. Whisk broth with packages of gravy mix and Worcestershire sauce. Add to the meat and vegetable mix.
  7. Bring the broth to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, adding more beef broth if necessary to keep the meat from drying out.
  8. When the potatoes are done cooking (a fork can easily pierce), remove them from the pot and place them in a bowl with the remaining 4 Tbsp of butter. Mash with a fork or potato masher, and season with salt and pepper to taste. ***Kind of thick, might want to add a little milk. Could make morte taters, too.***
  9. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the beef, onions, and vegetables (if using) in an even layer in a large baking dish (8x13 casserole).
  10. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top of the lamb & vegetable mixture. Rough up the surface of the mashed potatoes with a fork so there are peaks that will get well browned. You can even use a fork to make creative designs in the mashed potatoes.
  11. Place in a 400°F oven and cook until browned and bubbling, about 30 minutes. If necessary, broil for the last few minutes to help the surface of the mashed potatoes brown.

Instructions
  1. In a medium sauce pan bring beef broth to boil over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, and worcestershire sauce.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together cold water and corn starch until dissolved. Pour into boiling beef broth and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir until thickened.
  3. Season with salt and pepper. Taste, add more salt and pepper if needed, and taste again to make sure it's just right. Serve hot over your favorite meats or potatoes.
Recipe Notes

This recipe makes about 2 cups of gravy and can easily be doubled or even tripled if you use a large sauce pan.
