Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 6 slices Sliced bread (toasted)
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small crumbles, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the cooked beef aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the unsalted butter. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the melted butter and whisk constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, or until it turns a light golden color.
Gradually pour in the whole milk and beef broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix well and let the mixture cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
While the beef mixture is simmering, toast the slices of bread to your preferred level of crispness.
Spoon the creamed beef over the toasted bread slices and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting dish!
