1 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp shortening or oil
salt and pepper, to taste
3 Tbsp. flour
2 1/2 cups milk (more if you like it thinner)
6 slices buttered toast or biscuits
Add the teaspoon of oil or shortening to hot, deep skillet along with the ground beef. As beef begins to lose raw look, add the chopped onion, salt and pepper.
Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until meat is completely cooked. Sprinkle flour over top and stir into meat and onion mixture until totally absorbed.
Slowly add milk, stirring constantly, until thickened. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
Serve over 2 slices of toast or biscuits; fried egg is a great accompaniment
