Ingredients
  

For the gravy
  • 1 pound ground beef (lean)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce or a non-ic alternative
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • to taste Salt and pepper
For the mashed potatoes
  • 4 cups mashed potatoes homemade or store-bought

Method
 

Cooking the Beef
  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it’s no longer pink. Use a spatula to cble it as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Adding Onions and Garlic

Making the Gravy Base
  1. Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Adding Liquids
  1. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring this mixture to a simmer, letting it thicken slightly.
Incorporating Milk
  1. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring continuously until the gravy is creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
  1. Prepare your mashed potatoes (if using store-bought, heat them according to package instructions) and spoon the delicious burger gravy generously over the top. Enjoy your hearty meal!

Notes

For an even richer flavor, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to your gravy instead of all milk; it’ll give that velvety texture a boost! If you wish to spice things up, adding a dash of hot sauce can provide an unexpected kick. Don't forget to taste as you go; adjusting seasoning is key to making this dish truly your own. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over low heat.
