"This was one of the favorites on the graveyard (midnight to 8 a.m.) shift." Recipe submitted by Lloyd Rushing of Texas City, Texas USA.

Breakfast Gravy Navy-Style

1 pound ground meat or chipped beef
1/2 cup chopped green onions or 1 diced medium onion
1 (10-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (10-ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pint of milk (sometimes a little more)

1. If using ground meat, brown meat first, then saute onions with the browned meat. If using chipped beef, use 2 teaspoons cooking oil and saute the onions. Then add mushroom soup, celery soup, black pepper, and milk. Stir continuously while cooking over a low heat. If gravy tends to thicken too much, just add more milk. (No salt is needed as the soups have enough. Delicious served on biscuits or on toast.)

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
