Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Cook until no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and leave the cooked ground beef in the skillet.
Push the ground beef to one side of the skillet. Melt the butter in the empty side of the skillet.
Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and whisk to combine, forming a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, a little at a time, ensuring the mixture stays smooth. Once all the broth is added, stir to combine the roux and cooked ground beef.
Stir in the milk and season the gravy with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Serve the hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes, toast, biscuits, or cooked rice. Enjoy!
