In a skillet, brown 1 lb. of ground hamburger meat and 1 small chopped onion. Add salt and pepper to taste. At the same time, boil 2 cups of water and add two cups of white rice. (Or you can use the minute rice.) When that is done, cook the asparagus for 3 or 4 minutes while you prepare the brown gravy mix. You may want to add butter, salt and pepper to taste on the asparagus.
Serve: Salad, white rice with hamburger on top and cover in gravy, and asparagus on the side.
