Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil if using lean ground beef.
  2. Add the ground beef and chopped onions to the skillet. Crumble the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and onions are softened.
  3. Season the beef mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the meat mixture. Stir and cook for 1 minute until the flour is absorbed and cooked through to remove the raw starchy taste.
  5. Repeat the process, adding the remaining flour one tablespoon at a time, stirring and cooking each addition until all flour is incorporated and cooked.
  6. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato juice, and hot water. Stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to a gravy-like consistency.
  8. Add the ground nutmeg and sugar. Stir well and taste, adjusting salt, pepper, or sugar as needed to balance the flavors.
  9. Serve hot over toast, hot dogs, or mashed potatoes.
