(Photos coming!)
This is a more modern version of an old recipe that was popular during the World Wars. Many also make this with chipped beef. You can make it for appetizers, dinner or even breakfast. You can substitute the bread for mashed or baked potatoes. There are many versions of this recipe.

½ pound ground beef
½ pound ground pork
½ medium onion chopped
1 cup of sliced crimini mushrooms
3 cloves finely chopped garlic
1 TBS Worcestershire sauce
1 TBS all-purpose flour
½ cup milk (maybe a little more if too thick)
2 TBS sour cream
Salt and Pepper
