Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook it until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the skillet and set the cooked beef aside.
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour, stirring constantly to create a smooth paste (roux). Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden.
Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the mixture has thickened, stir in the salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Add the cooked ground beef back into the skillet, stirring to combine it thoroughly with the creamy sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-5 minutes, ensuring the beef is heated through and well coated in the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the creamed ground beef over your choice of toast, biscuits, rice, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
