SIMPLE ROAST BEEF AND GRAVY
This is a simple way to get delicious comfort food with minimal effort. I like to make this when I have dinner guests in a casual setting and serve it with mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, and green beans. Because it's so simple you can spend a little more time on the side dishes. As a bonus, my children love it. I think the original recipe came from Taste of Home, but I've tweaked it.
