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!
