Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef.
Cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-9 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Push the cooked ground beef to one side of the skillet and add the unsalted butter to the empty side.
Once the butter has melted, sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the butter and whisk continuously to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it turns light golden in color.
Gradually pour the whole milk into the skillet, stirring constantly to blend the roux into the milk and prevent lumps.
Mix the cooked ground beef back into the milk mixture and bring the gravy to a gentle simmer.
Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and optional crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve hot over biscuits, toast, or your favorite breakfast sides. Enjoy!
