                            1 1/2 c. sliced onions
                            3 T. fat
                            1/2 lb. ground beef
                            2 T. oats
                            1/2 t. salt
                            1/8 t. pepper
                            2 t. minced onion
                            3/4 t. celery salt
                            1/4 c. milk
                            2 T. flour
                            1 1/2 c. water
                            1/2 t. Worcestershire sauce

                    First, saute onions until they are nice and tender in the fat; when the
                    onions are done, remove them, but don't throw the fat away.
                    Combine the next seven ingredients, mixing well.  Drop meat
                     mixture by tablespoons into the hot fat; brown on all sides, and
                     remove to drain.  Now, stir the flour into the fat, and brown as you
                     stir.  Add water, stirring constantly until it is blended.  Add the rest
                     of the ingredients, and return the meat and onions to the gravy.
                     Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
