Hamburger Gravy on Toast - Cheap, fast and easy

[Jeff G.]

Hamburger Gravy on toast.
all you need is some hamburger, a little flour, milk and toast... Salt and pepper to taste..

Fry up the hamburger, drain most of the fat, liberally sprinkle with flour and cook the flour a bit to lose that "flour" taste. Add milk, bring to a boil while stirring adding salt and pepper. When thickened, serve on toast..

This is NOT S.O.S. That is made with chipped beef..

That sounds good. I think I am going to try and make that, but I think I will add some chopped onions to the fat before I add the flour. Get a nice carmelization out of them. It sounds yummy and cheap, which is a win win!!!

and some mushrooms to.

My mother used to make that frequently when I was a child. Brings back good memories. She always sauteed some onion with the beef. Think I'll make some this weekend. Thanks for the reminder.

My Mom used to fry onion in it also. Thanks for the reminder, Jeff.

sorry.. forgot to mention the onion.. although its good without it.

I bet a little sour cream mixed into this would be good too.

I do something similar but instead of on toast I put it over noodles.

Humm ... hamburger with milk gravy, onion, mushrooms, sour cream over noodles - isn't that taking this back to hamburger stroganoff?

Don't worry Jeff - no good deed or idea goes unpunished ...

Seeing how I don't like stroganoff or egg noodles in general, for me it's definitely not going there. I make a lot beef with sour cream sauce and sour cream instead of milk was a personal thought. Definitely no noodles in this for me.
