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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Push the ground beef to one side of the skillet. Melt the butter in the empty side of the skillet.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Stir in the milk and season the gravy with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Step 8
Serve the hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes, toast, biscuits, or cooked rice. Enjoy!
