Savory Hamburger Gravy

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, season the lean ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook the beef until it is browned and cooked through, about 7 to 10 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the ground beef, stirring until the butter has melted.

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the beef mixture and stir until combined.

Cook the beef and flour mixture for 1 to 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.

Slowly whisk in the whole milk, ensuring it is fully incorporated into the flour and beef mixture.

Allow the gravy to cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened to your desired consistency.

Remove from heat and serve immediately. This Savory Hamburger Gravy is perfect over mashed potatoes, toast, buttered noodles, or rice.
