Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend preferred)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 medium Onion (finely diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside in a separate bowl.

Step 2

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Then add the whole milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the gravy is too thick, add a splash of milk or beef broth to thin it out.

Step 7

Serve the hamburger gravy warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
