Dad’s Hamburger Gravy
Dad's Hamburger Gravy
This is a friend's Dad's recipe for Hamburger Gravy, and it is excellent! I made this on 7 Oct 2022 and the family absolutely loved this dish. Feel free to serve this over mashed potatoes, toast, or biscuits.
Ingredients
- 750 grams ground beef, (1½ lb)
- 1-2 tablespoons cooking oil, your choice
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups milk
- salt and cracked black pepper, as desired
Instructions
- Heat the cooking oil in a large pan, when hot, add the onion and sauté to just get the onion starting to soften. I am using a marble wok pan, which is a flat bottomed wok, it is deep, and very non stick. I am going to serve the gravy over mashed potatoes so the potatoes are starting to boil on the right.
- When the onion is starting to soften, add the ground beef, season generously with cracked black pepper. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spatula until cooked through. Drain the fat into a measuring cup, reserving ½ cup, discard the rest. Place cooked beef on a plate and set aside.
- Return the reserved fat and the butter to the same pan, place on medium high heat. When hot, sprinkle in the flour and whisk in until starting to just brown.
- Whisk in the milk and season generously with cracked black pepper. Taste and season with salt as desired. Continue whisking until gravy is bubbly and thickened.
- Return the cooked beef to the pan and stir in, reduce heat to medium and cook to heat the beef through.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, toast, or biscuits with a side of your choice, enjoy.
Notes
Low cost per serving.
