Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg (optional)
- 8 slices Sliced bread
Instructions
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside in a bowl.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, gradually whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1–2 minutes, whisking constantly, until golden and bubbly.
Slowly pour the milk into the skillet while whisking continuously to create a smooth mixture. Continue to whisk until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3–5 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened, return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Stir to combine and season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg if using. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes.
While the gravy is simmering, toast the bread slices until golden brown using a toaster or under a broiler.
To serve, place 1–2 slices of toasted bread on a plate and generously ladle the beef gravy over the top. Enjoy the dish warm.
