A rich, comforting hamburger gravy recipe just like Mom used to make — perfect over mashed potatoes, toast, or biscuits. Ready in 20 minutes and full of down-home flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds lean ground beef

¼ cup all-purpose flour

4 cups milk (or use broth/water for dairy-free)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon onion salt

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned and crumbly, about 7–8 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat. Sprinkle flour evenly over the beef. Stir until all the fat is absorbed and meat is coated.
  3. Return skillet to medium heat. Slowly stir in 2 cups of milk, mixing constantly as it warms and thickens.
  4. Add the remaining 2 cups of milk. Continue to stir until the gravy reaches your preferred thickness and starts to bubble, about 5 minutes.
  5. Season with onion salt, plus regular salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over potatoes, toast, rice, or biscuits.

Notes

  • No milk? No problem. Use beef broth or water and add an extra tablespoon of butter or oil to help it along.
  • Want more flavor? Sauté onions with the beef or splash in some Worcestershire sauce.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3–4 days and reheat beautifully in a skillet.
  • This gravy thickens as it cools — add a splash of milk or water when reheating to loosen it up.
  • Drop a comment if you made it your own way. I’d love to hear how your family enjoys it!
