How to make Hamburger Gravy:
Brown Meat: Cook and crumble ground beef with a meat chopper or wooden spoon in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until soft. Finish Gravy: Stir in flour and butter, then add milk and seasonings. Stir gravy as it cooks until thickened. Taste and adjust seasonings to taste. Serve homemade hamburger gravy with green beans or roasted vegetables.
Serve Hamburger Gravy Over:
Mashed Potatoes Pasta Rice Biscuits Bread or Toast Breakfast Potatoes
Recipe Variations:
Dairy-Free: Omit butter and substitute beef broth instead of milk. Add 1 Tablespoon additional flour to thicken the sauce, if needed. Veggies: Add sautéed mushrooms, frozen peas, or corn to the gravy. Sour Cream: Add a scoop of sour cream at the end to make the gravy creamier.
Storage and Freezing Instructions:
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Rewarm in the microwave or stovetop, adding a little milk or broth if you need to thin it. To Freeze: Follow the recipe to cook the meat and add spices. Let it cool completely then transfer to a freezer safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then heat in a skillet with butter, flour, and half and half. Cook, stirring, until thickened. Adjust seasonings to taste. I originally shared this recipe December 2020.
