Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown to create a roux.
Gradually add the beef broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Stir in the milk and continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
Add the browned ground beef back to the skillet and stir to combine.
Season the gravy with onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of beef broth or milk to thin it out.
Remove from heat and optionally garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the hamburger gravy warm over mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or toast for a hearty and delicious meal.
