Step 1

In a medium sauce pan over medium high heat, brown the ground beef. Season with a little salt and pepper. Drain excess grease and set aside. Melt butter in the same sauce pan. Add flour and stir until butter/flour mixture is bubbly.

Step 2

Add milk, salt, and pepper.Stir constantly until thick and bubbly.Add meat and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (I usually like a bit more pepper).If necessary, add a little more milk until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 3

Serve over toast.

Step 4

Note: this is the exact same recipe I use for sausage gravy. Instead of ground beef, I substitute with hot, ground breakfast sausage.
