I think this is probably one of the cheapest recipes using ground beef that I’ve ever made. It’s incredibly easy, not to mention delicious, too!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 beef bouillion cube
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 2 1/4 cups milk
• 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper and beef bouillion.
3. Saute for about 5 minutes, until the flour has been absorbed fully.
4. Gradually stir in milk and Worcestershire sauce.
5. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
6. Cook until thickened, about 5-10 minutes.
7. Serve over toast.
8. Tip: Use ground turkey instead of beef to cut out fat and save money!
