A comforting dish featuring savory ground beef gravy served over warm biscuits, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits or homemade biscuit recipe
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (more to taste)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven and bake biscuits according to package or recipe instructions. Keep them warm.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and diced onion (if using) and cook until well browned.
- Drain excess grease if needed, keeping enough to flavor the pan.
- Add butter to the skillet, melting it. Sprinkle flour and stir to form a roux for 1–2 minutes.
- Slowly pour in milk while stirring to avoid lumps and thicken the gravy.

- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5–7 minutes until thick and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Split warm biscuits and ladle beef gravy generously over them. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
