How to Make U's Navy Minced Beef Gravy On Toast

  1. Chop the onion and brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break the beef into small crumbles as it cooks.
  2. If using lean ground beef, add 1-2 tablespoons of cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Gradually whisk in the flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is fully incorporated and cooked. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  6. Continue adding flour until the gravy slightly thickens and most of the oil is absorbed.
  7. Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), tomato juice, and water.
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally.
  9. Stir in the nutmeg and sugar. Adjust seasoning to taste. Add more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Serve the gravy hot over toasted bread or use as a topping for hot dogs.
