Special Notes

This classic comfort food is perfect for a hearty breakfast or dinner. The combination of ground beef, flour, and milk creates a rich, creamy gravy that's perfect for sopping up with toast. The key is to cook the flour until it's golden to remove the raw taste. It's a great way to use up leftover ground beef and create a satisfying meal that's easy to make.
