Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
• 6 slices Sliced bread (toasted)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small crumbles, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the cooked beef aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the unsalted butter. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the melted butter and whisk constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, or until it turns a light golden color.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the whole milk and beef broth while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the cooked ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix well and let the mixture cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

While the beef mixture is simmering, toast the slices of bread to your preferred level of crispness.

Step 6

Spoon the creamed beef over the toasted bread slices and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting dish!
