Beef Gravy with Homemade Beef Gravy Mix
Ingredients
1 cup cold water

This is easy, quick, and delicious. I usually add a can of cream of mushroom soup to the ground beef before adding in the flour/cream mixture. I don't add extra salt. If desired, add more beef flavor with a tablespoon of beef bouillon powder.
Ingredients:
2 lb. lean ground beef
2 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 (1 oz.) pkg. dry onion soup mix
Advertisement
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 (10 oz.) cans sliced mushrooms, well drained (hand squeeze out any excess moisture)
5 cups half-and-half cream or milk, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper (or to taste)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (more to use at the table)
1 (375 g) package medium dry egg noodles, cooked
Directions:
In a large skillet or medium pot cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned; drain fat. Add in garlic, chili flakes, dry onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce and mushrooms; cook stirring for 3 minutes. Pour 4 cups half-and-half or milk into the pan and stir, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 4 to 5 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk the flour with remaining 1 cup of cream until smooth; slowly add to the beef mixture stirring with a spoon. Simmer, stirring with a wooden spoon for about 3 to 4 minutes until thickened. Mix in about 1/3 to 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Season with black pepper
Divide the cooked noodles onto plates. Spoon the hamburger gravy over noodles, then sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese. Makes 4-6 servings.

This is a good stand-by meal for us, which is easy and fairly quick to fix. Also really good on a cold winter night.
Ingredients:
1 lb. hamburger
1/2 medium onion
1/2 bell pepper
Directions:
Brown hamburger meat with salt, pepper, bell pepper, and onion. Don't drain fat; add flour to make paste. Add water to make soupy. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook potatoes as usual.
I thought when I had to give up everything that contained wheat, I would never be able to have gravy again. I found out that you can make gravy using corn starch. I had to start all over learning how to make gravy.
