Directions
Brown hamburger. Add salt, pepper, all spice and dried onions. Cook until no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
Using a medium sized sauce pan, melt the butter over medium low heat. When melted add the flour and stir well. Mixture may be lumpy, this is fine. Keep stirring until the roux turns a nice light brown.
Add your better than boullion to the water, slowly add the water to the flour mixture. Stir constantly until smooth. Continue stirring over medium low heat until the gravy thickens.
Add the cooked ground beef to the gravy.
Serve over mashed potatoes, white rice or toasted bread.
