Easy Hamburger Gravy

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1/2 medium onion (chopped finely)
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 teaspoons beef bouillon paste (I used Better Than Bouillon)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• Chopped fresh parsley (optional, to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the beef and onion to a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook it until browned, breaking up the meat with your spoon as you go along (about 8 minutes). Don't drain the fat unless you're not using lean ground beef (then drain a bit but still leave some in).

2. 2

   Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, bouillon paste, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.

3. 3

   Reduce the heat to medium, then stir in the flour.

4. 4

   Stir in the milk slowly until the flour has dissolved.

5. 5

   Once it starts to bubble, let it cook until it's thickened up to your liking, stirring occasionally (about 5-10 minutes).

6. 6

   Season as needed with salt & pepper and adjust other ingredients to taste if needed. Serve with fresh parsley sprinkled over top if you wish.
