Ground meat with gravy is a comforting and versatile dish, typically made by browning ground beef, pork, or turkey and smothering it in a flavorful sauce usually thickened with flour or cornstarch. The gravy often includes seasonings like garlic, onion, black pepper, and herbs, and may be enriched with broth, milk, or cream for added depth. Originating in American and European cuisines, this dish is often paired with mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables. While ground meat provides a good source of protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc, the healthfulness of the dish depends on the meat's fat content and the ingredients used in the gravy. Leaner meats and reduced-fat gravies can make the dish more heart-healthy, while richer versions may be higher in saturated fats and calories. Moderation and balance are key to enjoying this hearty classic in a nutritious way.
