Ingredients
-
1 lb lean ground beef
-
1/4 cup chopped onion
-
1/4 cup flour
-
1 teaspoon beef bouillon powder
-
3/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
-
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
-
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
-
1/4 teaspoon onion powder or 1/4 teaspoon granulated onion
-
cayenne powder, to taste
-
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
-
2 1/4 cups milk
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onion.
- Stir in the flour, granulated bouillon, salt, pepper, and garlic and onion powders (and cayenne, if using).
- Saute all together until flour is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
- Gradually stir in the Worcestershire sauce and milk.
- Bring it all to a simmer, stirring, and cook until thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Serve over toast, biscuits, noodles, rice, or potatoes.
- Note: when I'm needing to avoid bread or noodles, I'll sometimes make a bunch of sauteed mushrooms and eat this over them, or sometimes with tofu. Delicious!
