Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 4 oz sliced baby bella mushroom
- ½ cup diced yellow onion
- 2 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 1 cube beef bouillon
- ½ cup cream half & half
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Brown the Beef:
- In a large deep frying pan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and crumbled. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and beginning to brown.
Add Aromatics:
- Stir in the chopped garlic, fresh thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Add the browned ground beef back to the pan. Sprinkle the mixture with flour and stir well to coat the ingredients evenly.
Add Liquids:
- Stir in the white wine and ½ cup of beef broth. Once incorporated, add the remaining beef broth and the beef bouillon cube. Stir until the bouillon cube dissolves completely.
Simmer:
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
Finish the Gravy:
- Stir in the cream (half-and-half) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until warmed through and creamy.
Serve:
- Serve the Mushroom & Garlic Hamburger Gravy over mashed potatoes, pasta, or rice for a hearty and satisfying meal!
Notes
- To make Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free flour (such as rice flour) instead of regular flour for thickening the gravy and ensure the beef bouillon is labeled gluten free. Brands such as Herb-Ox and Bare Bones offer wheat free alternatives.
- To make Dairy-Free: Substitute butter with a neutral cooking oil or dairy-free margarine and substitute half-and-half with coconut milk or a dairy-free cream alternative for a creamy texture.
- Thickening: If the gravy is too thin, let it simmer longer to reduce. For a thicker consistency, whisk in a bit more flour or cornstarch mixed with water.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove.
