Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef Use lean beef for less grease; ground turkey is a lighter alternative.
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced Fresh onion adds sweetness; onion powder can be a quick substitute.
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour For a gluten-free option, use cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend.
  • 2 cups milk Whole milk for creaminess; almond or oat milk can be used.
  • Salt and pepper Adjust to taste.
  • Bread or biscuits for serving Toasted bread or fluffy biscuits soak up gravy.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onions until the beef is cooked through and the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the meat mixture and stir well to combine, cooking for about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve the creamed hamburger gravy over toasted bread or freshly baked biscuits.

Notes

Drain excess fat after browning meat for a lighter gravy. Don't hesitate to taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For variations, try adding hot sauce, fresh herbs, or cheese.
