Biscuits and Hamburger Gravy

This was a quick hearty breakfast constructed from yesterdays leftovers – a leftover hamburger patty and a couple biscuits. It can easily be scaled up to serve more, browning meat from scratch and adding seasoning as you like. If you prefer a country gravy, just replace the beef broth with milk. 🙂

Biscuits and Hamburger Gravy
Serves 1

1 tsp butter
1 tsp all purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 leftover hamburger patty (about 0.2 lbs)
2 leftover biscuits

Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. When it foams, add the flour and stir to make a roux. Increase the heat to medium high. Add the broth and whisk, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil, until the roux is completely incorporated and the gravy is smooth. Add the thyme and hamburger and let the gravy simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through the meat. Warm the biscuits in a toaster oven, split them in half, and pour the gravy over the top. Serve hot.
