Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside, draining any excess grease.
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed onions and garlic. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook the flour. This forms a roux which will thicken the sauce.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue to whisk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and mix well with the creamy sauce.
Season the mixture with salt, ground black pepper, and ground nutmeg (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve the Ground Creamed Beef Sos over toast, biscuits, or rice for a comforting meal.
