FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:  What do I serve with Ground Beef and Gravy? We love this Ground Beef and Gravy best with some of my Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes or simple stove top Creamy Mashed Potatoes. But this is also delicious with egg noodles, on a bed of rice or even your favorite pasta. What else can I add? Add some diced onion and bell pepper to the meat to make it a little more bulked up. You could also stir in some frozen veggies while it is simmering for a heartier meal. Can I swap out ground beef? Turkey, chicken, or venison can all be used instead of ground beef if desired. You may want to switch up the beef broth for chicken or vegetable broth though. How to store leftovers? Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or keep them longer by freezing for up to 3 months. What’s the best way to reheat Ground Beef and Gravy? Reheat in the microwave or back in the skillet.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) lean ground beef – I used 80/20 lean ground beef. salted butter – you can use unsalted butter if you need to cut back on sodium. cloves garlic – I always prefer fresh garlic as it gives the best flavor but you can use the jarred stuff if that is what you have. dried minced onion – you can use a bit of freshly diced onion if you prefer. black pepper all-purpose flour – this is used to thicken the gravy, you can also use cornstarch. beef broth – can use low or no sodium if necessary. Worcestershire sauce HOW TO MAKE GROUND BEEF AND GRAVY: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up into crumbles until there is no pink left, 8-10 minutes. I like to get a little char on the beef if possible. Drain any excess grease. Lower the temperature to medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt. Stir in the garlic, minced onion, and black pepper until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the flour and stir it in, cook for 1 minute. Slowly stream in the beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir it in. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened, serve immediately over mashed potatoes.
