Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Hamburger Gravy
  1. In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add lean ground beef. Brown the meat for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart until it's crispy and no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with browned beef. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until onions become translucent.
  3. Push the beef and onion mixture to one side and melt butter on the other side. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in milk and beef broth, ensuring a smooth mixture. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Return beef mixture to the skillet and simmer over low heat for about 5-10 minutes until thickened.
  6. Remove from heat and serve the hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, rice, or biscuits and garnish if desired.
