Equipment
- 1 large skillet or braiser
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ¾ cup onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 cups whole milk
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat add the 1 pound ground beef. Break the meat apart into smaller pieces as it cooks. Once it browns, drain off any excess fat/oil.
- Add the ¾ cup onion, stir to combine, and cook until the onion begins to soften about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add in the 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir the mixture continuously for 3 to 4 minutes, until it thickens and has a paste-like consistency.
- Adjust the stovetop to medium heat and slowly add the 2 cups milk, stirring frequently. Allow the gravy to cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until it's thick and creamy. Serve warm on top of your favorite biscuits and enjoy!

Notes
- If you find the consistency is a bit too thick, add more milk, a little at a time, and stir it.
- Drain off any excess fat from the pan after cooking the ground beef.
- After adding the all-purpose flour, allow it to cook until the flour mixture begins to slightly brown. This will help to remove the raw flour taste from the gravy.
- The gravy will continue to thicken as it cools. Add more milk if needed.
- Feel free to adjust the original recipe by adding in more spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, onion salt, or Worcestershire sauce.
