Creamy Ground Beef Gravy
  1. 1

    Assemble all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until evenly browned and crumbly, 7 to 8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Take the skillet off the heat, sprinkle the flour over the beef, and stir until the beef is evenly coated and all the fat is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Put the skillet back on the stove over medium heat, stir in 2 cups milk, and cook, stirring, until warm and starting to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the remaining 2 cups milk, then cook and stir until it reaches the desired consistency and the gravy boils, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Season with onion salt, salt, and pepper.
