Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef/chipped beef
- 1 diced, small yellow onion
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- Toasted bread
- Fresh ground black pepper
- salt
Instructions
- You will need a 12-inch skillet for the above ingredients.
- Start by setting the skillet over medium heat and add the onion together with the ground beef.
- Add salt and pepper according to your taste. If you feel that you want to add a personal touch to this recipe, this is the moment when you can add other spices as well.
- Cook the beef until there is no pink and it gets a nice, brown color.
- Use a spatula to drain the meat and onion and set it aside.
- Now it is time to prepare the sauce!
- Use the same pan and add the butter in the remaining meat sauce. It is very important to keep a medium heat. Otherwise, the butter might burn and change the taste of your sauce.
- As soon as the butter is completely melted, you can slowly start sprinkling the flour. You should gently whisk the ingredients together until they form a creamy paste.
- Let the sauce simmer for about a minute. It is important to let the flour bubble a bit in order to prevent any digestive problems.
- The next step will be adding milk over the sauce. Whisk everything once again. You can stop when you obtain the desired consistency.
- Boil the mixture for a couple of minutes. Again, be patient and respect these boiling times if you do not want any stomach aches.
- Once the sauce is ready and as thick as you wanted it, you can add the beef and onion previously cooked.
- Taste it and add more salt and pepper if you think you did not add enough in the beginning.
- Serve it over toasted bread and enjoy delicious comfort food.
