Notes
To make this dish, start by browning the ground beef in a large skillet. Once fully cooked, drain the grease and set the beef aside. Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then whisk in the flour to form a roux. This step ensures your sauce will be thick and creamy. Gradually whisk in milk and heavy cream to avoid lumps, then add seasonings to build flavor.
