Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter optional for extra richness
  • Mashed potatoes (store-bought or homemade) for serving

Instructions

Cooking

  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with chopped onion until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
  • Sprinkle flour over the meat and stir well, cooking for about 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  • Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring, then add milk.
  • Stir constantly as the mixture thickens into a rich, savory gravy.
  • Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in butter if using for extra depth.
  • Serve hot over fluffy mashed potatoes—and prepare for second helpings!
