I think every cook has their secret recipe for this dish. My secrets are the 1/2 envelope of onion soup mix and the 2-c brown gravy mix. This was an “Eric’s mom” recipe. I used to know her name, but it’s been several moves since we lived in adjacent apartments and Eric was my son’s playmate. For reference, that son is now a doctor of mathematics at the University of Texas at Arlington and has a son of his own.
