Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices White or wheat bread
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it is fully browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk constantly to create a smooth roux, about 1-2 minutes.
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Increase the heat to medium and cook the sauce, stirring often, until it begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
Add the cooked ground beef back into the skillet and mix it with the sauce until evenly coated. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to meld the flavors.
Meanwhile, toast the bread slices to your desired level of crispiness using a toaster or under a broiler.
Spoon the creamed beef mixture generously over the toasted bread slices. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting Creamed Beef on Toast!
