This creamy hamburger gravy is a comforting, old-fashioned classic made with ground beef, milk, and savory seasonings. Perfect over mashed potatoes, toast, biscuits, or noodles—ready in just 20 minutes for an easy, budget-friendly meal everyone loves.
1 lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk (or ¾ cup milk + ¾ cup broth)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat. Break into crumbles.
Add onion and garlic powder. Cook 2–3 mins until onion softens.
Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat. Cook flour for 2 mins.
Gradually pour in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Simmer on low until thickened, about 5–7 mins.
Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire (if using). Serve hot.
– For a creamier version, use half-and-half or add 1 tbsp of butter at the end.
– To make it gluten-free, swap flour for cornstarch.
– For extra flavor, use a beef bouillon cube when adding milk or broth.
