Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon beef bouillon Better Than Bouillon
2 tablespoons steak sauce
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Parsley for garnish optional
For serving: mashed potatoes pasta, rice, or bread

Instructions

In a large skillet or pan, brown the ground beef over medium high heat, Be sure to break up all the pieces so they are small.
Stir in the flour, then add onion powder, garlic powder, beef bouillon, and steak sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour flavor.
Slowly add the milk, stirring continuously. Cook on medium heat until the gravy thickens.
Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve over potatoes, rice or toast

Notes

You can make hamburger gravy quicker from frozen by putting the beef straight into the frying pan from the freezer. To do this, add some water or beef broth to the pan and cover it. As the ground beef thaws, flip it frequently and chop it into smaller pieces to cook through.
Substitute milk for broth. This will make the gravy more brown than white.
Broth can be substituted by diluting beef bouillon cubes in water. Just adjust the salt as needed.
For best results, make sure to really chop up all the beef pieces very small.
Add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce when cooking the beef for added savory flavor.
