A simple, hearty creamed gravy made with ground beef that's perfect to serve
over egg noodles, mashed potatoes or toast.

This is a meal I whip up when I don't feel like getting into anything
complicated AND I don't want to hear any objections from the family - because
they all love this one!
The only negative is we can never agree what to serve it over. Husband and The
Boy like it over toast, the girls want mashed potatoes and I prefer noodles
(can you believe I didn't say rice?!). I usually do 2 out of 3 because it's
not hard to add a pile of toast to the table.
You may look at this and think of S.O.S. but it's a little different because
we're going to use milk and a little beef bullion broth. It's still
plenty creamy but we get great flavor from the double-strength bullion (2
cubes with 1 cup of water instead of 1:1).
This was one of my Daddy's favorites! He'd never heard of S.O.S. until he went
into the Army and they all teased him and told him the chipped beef version
was horsemeat. He liked it all but he REALLY liked Hamburger Gravy because he
liked the name better.
Aren't we funny like that? He learned to eat the other because he was
starving (and he even grew to like it) but just by calling this Hamburger
Gravy instead of the name he associated with horsemeat, he thought it tasted
better too.
Or maybe he really did like it better. Since we make ours with a mixture of
beef bullion and milk, it isn't as cloyingly thick and creamy and maybe he
just liked the taste better. But, nahhh... I think it was in his head!
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE IT
The full, printable recipe card is down below, but at a glance, here's all
you'll need:
Ground beef (venison is great too!)
Simple spices (pepper, onion & garlic powder)
Flour (AP or SR - use what you have)
Milk & water
Beef bullion cubes
Parsley (optional - I just always have it so I add it)
8 NOTES ON COOKING HAMBURGER GRAVY
1. I typically use 80/20 ground beef for this. Using a fattier blend is fine
but if using leaner ground beef, stir in 1 tablespoon butter until melted
before adding flour (use 2 tablespoons butter if using extra lean 95/5 ground
beef).
2. You can absolutely use all milk in this if you like the extra creamy
version.
3. This is usually made with all-purpose flour but self-rising can be used if
that's all you have. There isn't enough flour in here to make that big of a
difference.
4. I've never frozen this myself but I imagine it would freeze well.
5. Use TWO traditional square cubes of beef bullion or ONE if using the BIG
bullion cubes (Goya and Knorr each make these now). If you're uncertain, use
however many cubes the packaging says for two cups of broth (even though we
are only using one cup of water).
6. This is usually served over egg noodles, toast or mashed potatoes but it
can go on just about anything! We've had it with rice and biscuits too!
7. Feel free to add 1/2 cup diced onion when cooking the ground beef -
sometimes I do!
8. If you'd like to add mushrooms, add fresh when you add the flour or add
canned (drained) when adding the milk.
