hamburger gravy

S.O.S. also known as Creamy Hamburger Gravy is an old-school meal. This is a classic, simple and tasty meal that is reminiscent of military cooking!

S.O.S. (CREAMY HAMBURGER GRAVY)

beef

milk, (2%

tbsp salted butter

tbsp all-purpose flour

salt

pepper

bread (toasted)

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.

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

Serve over toast.

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

Our family loved this recipe! It’s relatively inexpensive. It’s even better with grass fed beef!

Excellent recipe, Probably The Best hamburger gravy i have ever had! I have had hamburger gravy cooked every way know and this is by far the best ever!..Definitely would Recommend

Loved this for man pleasing weeknight supper. I did notice the garlic wasn't included in the directions.  I added it with the onions.

Better than childhood memories of this ubiquitous dish. And still great for people with braces.

This was so easy to make and it was delicious!  I used half and half in place of the milk and added mushrooms and peas and served on mashed potatoes.  Next time, I think I’ll serve it on egg noodles so it isn’t quite so heavy.  This is a great comfort food recipe!

I made this according to the recipe and it was delicious. Thank you!

Yes, I tried it using the powder substitute for the Onion and Garlic and it seemed perfect. I think it tasted like the Hamburger Gravy my mom used to make back in the 70's. It seems like it was the first homemade tasting meal I've had since then. Thank You!

My mother used to make a variation of this recipe when I was growing up. Swap in Ground turkey to make it more lean. Milk can be substituted with water. Goes well over rice and pairs well with steamed veggies. Super quick, easy and cheap to make.

I was in a serious dinner rut and saw this and was encouraged by the 20 minute total time (plus I had all of the ingredients). This is a total winner! My whole family loved it (even my picky toddler). Thanks for a great recipe!

Just made it and kids keep asking for me to make it again

I had less than the ground beef asked in the ingredients, but it came out so good! If you're tired of the usual gravy for mashed potatoes or other dishes, this will be my go-to recipe.

As the oldest of 5 growing up in the late 50s, 60s and 70s, Mom made this dish often. When my crew arrived in the 80s I made this for them adding cream of mushroom soup. It's still everyone's favorite.  Thank you for printing it!

paprika

onion powder

parsley

Heat a skillet with about 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat.  Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic and cook until there is no pink remaining.

Cover and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add salt and pepper to taste.Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, rice or buttermilk biscuits, sprinkled with some parsley.

I LOVE this version of HAMBURGER GRAVY.....I USE TO MAKE IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY AND PUT IT ON BREAKFAST PANCAKES.....CAN'T WAIT TO TRY YOUR RECIPE....SOUNDS EVEN MORE TASTY!!  THANK YOU FOR SHARING ON LINE!!!

This recipe is a lifesaver tonight. Thanks! I haven’t finished cooking the potatoes yet, but I’ve been tasting the gravy meat mixture and I think it’s delicious. I really don’t need to add this in, but this is why this is a lifesaver- my stove/oven quit on us recently and we are waiting for the part to come in. All I have to cook on is a little induction burner. I wanted to make shepherds pie tonight, but I can’t bake it. So while browsing the internet, I came across this recipe and it’s as closest to  shepherds pie (in a different kind of way) I could find. I’m definitely going to put this in my recipe book. And let me tell you another thing, not many recipes make it into my recipe book. I only use the book for very good ones and this IS one! I like that it is simple, a lot of the ingredients I already have in our refrigerator or cabinets and it’s affordable when groceries aren’t so affordable at the moment. Not for my family of seven, at least. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and I hope others give it a try!

This was yummy!  Brought back a lot of memories!  Also good over a slice or two of bread!

Been making my own version for years but decided to look up an actual recipe for hamburger gravy.  This is so good and everyone who ate it (we have lots of grown children) had to have the recipe. It is delicious!  Thanks so much.

just made this! delicious! looking forward to lunch! thanks for a great recipe!

Old fashioned hamburger gravy is a classic recipe that’s tasty, versatile and so satisfying!

garlic (minced)

beef bouillon cube

Brown ground beef, onion and garlic until no pink remains. Do not drain.

You should have some fat in the bottom of the skillet, if not, add 1 tablespoon butter or oil. Stir in Worcestershire.

Stir in flour and allow to cook 2 minutes.

Add remaining ingredients and stir. Cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Season with salt &amp; pepper to taste.

Serve over biscuits or mashed potatoes.

Did it with wagyu from Costco, drained some fat and came out good. I’ll do this dish again. Curious if leftovers can be repurposed for Stroganoff?

I'm on a medically-mandated low-fat diet so I drained the meat really well &amp; then stirred in the flour.  This worked quite well &amp; reduced the amount of fat. I also added the mushrooms as suggested, along with some frozen peas &amp; carrots which also worked great. Served over mashed potatoes &amp; the family really liked it – this recipe is a keeper, thanks for sharing it!

My family loved this! Super quick and easy and we included a veggie with it too! We are a family of 6, my husband and I, and 4 kids (15,8,5,3) and all ate this right up! 
We served it with mashed and broccoli.

LOVED THIS!! I added peas and carrots, and it was amazinggggg def added to my dinner rotations lol

I share my meals with my picky staffie who doesnt care for mshd taters or egg noodles any more (I reduced onion n garlic for him) n made the creamier version with more milk than broth.I made pkg of gnochhi n threw it in the hamb.gravy..so delicous simple n easy.Will definitly be in our rotation,made fresh green beans on side,aperfect meal thanks

This is the BEST hamburger gravy recipe I've ever made! I am throwing away my old tried and true recipe, and keeping this one. Thanks so much, Holly!

This recipe is so cheap, quick and easy. The whole family loves this meal and I have some picky teenagers. 
It takes me back to when I was in school. Hamburger gravy and mashed potatoes was the one thing our lunch lady did know how to cook! Thank you for sharing this.

This hamburger gravy recipe is easy to make completely from scratch or incorporate cream of mushroom soup. Serve it over rice, toast, noodles, biscuits, mashed potatoes, and more!

garlic

garlic powder

Tablespoons Flour

½ cup half and half

10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup ((10.5 oz.))

white button mushrooms (sliced, rinsed, and patted dry)

Brown the beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions halfway through and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Add the Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and flour. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes, until you can no longer smell flour.

Add the beef broth, in small splashes and use a silicone spatula to &quot;clean&quot; the bottom and sides of the skillet. Add the half and half in the same manner, followed by the beef bouillon. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it bubble gently, it will continue to thicken and concentrate.

Once near your desired level of thickness, serve over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or with biscuits.

See notes on optional ingredient additions such as vegetables or cream of mushroom soup.

Best dinner I’ve had lately and super simple to make. It’s a keeper. 

Comfort food at its finest! I'm never disappointed with your recipes. Thank you for making them available on your website.

My Dad was a huge fan of Army SOS.  He would have LOVED this recipe!  I had it over a toasted English muffin.  I sprinkled some fresh chives on top to be fancy.  It was delicious.  I needed a little bit of salt on mine.  I would LOVE it over mashed potatoes even more because mashed potatoes are my favorite food ever.  Super good…you should try it!  

The perfect fall evening meal! Super easy to follow and we enjoyed it with mashed potatoes &amp; corn. I was a little worried at first it was going to be soupy but turned out great! Will make again 

Excellent recipe! Granted, I omitted the garlic, onion powder, and garlic powder… I used dried chopped onion because it’s always in my pantry. I eat this over bread and it’s fantastic. 

I make something akin to this and mix it with ramen noodles. I call it ramen stroganoff. I add a dollop of sour cream! Delish!

Amazing recipe!!! I felt very confident making this with all of the information provided, so thankful for you!!

Hi Stephanie. I really love your recipes. There hasn't been one recipe that my family didn't love! This recipe for the Hamburger Gravy is especially tasty and I make it quite often. Your recipes are by far the best ones out there. You are quite talented. I'm saving up so I can order your cookbook. I should be able to buy it soon. Thanks for all your great recipes!

My wife made me promise to do this one at least twice a month. Once with mashed Potatoes and Once with biscuits.
