Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked beef, stirring well to combine. Cook for about a minute to help eliminate the raw flour taste.
  3. Slowly pour in the milk while continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well and allow simmering for about 5-10 minutes or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
  5. For extra richness, stir in the butter until melted. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve the warm gravy over biscuits or your choice of side, and enjoy!

Notes

For a leaner option, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. To store, let the gravy cool completely and transfer it to an airtight container; it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. When reheating, do it gently on low heat, adding a splash of milk if it thickens.
