Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef Perfect for that rich, meaty flavor. You can go for lean beef if you prefer a lighter dish.
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced Adds a sweet depth to the gravy. Sauté until translucent for the best flavor.
  • 2 cups milk Makes the gravy creamy—whole milk works beautifully, but you can substitute with 2% or even a non-dairy milk if needed.
  • 1/4 cup flour Helps thicken the sauce to that perfect, dreamy consistency. Make sure to sprinkle it evenly for a smooth gravy.
  • to taste salt and pepper Essential seasonings to elevate all those mouthwatering flavors. Don’t skip the salt!
  • Toasted bread or biscuits for serving The delightful vehicle for your gravy! Toast it just right for a crispy base that holds all that creamy goodness.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add the pound of ground beef along with the diced onions. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and onion mixture and stir to combine. Cook for about a minute to let the flour absorb the flavors.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps until it forms a beautiful mixture.
  4. Continue cooking for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve the creamed hamburger gravy over toasted bread or biscuits.

Notes

Take your time caramelizing the onions for better flavor. Use room temperature milk for smooth incorporation. Adjust seasoning as desired. For a creamier texture, add more milk when simmering.
