For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture during the simmering process. To avoid lumps, whisk the flour with a small amount of cold water to form a slurry before adding it to the beef. This dish is also excellent served over biscuits, mashed potatoes, or even rice.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
10 mins
In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onions until the beef is evenly browned and the onions are translucent. (Approximately 8-10 minutes). Do not drain excess fat unless absolutely necessary; a little fat adds flavor. Season generously with salt and pepper.
02
Step
3 mins
Reduce the heat to low. Gradually stir in the flour, one tablespoon at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated and the beef juices are absorbed, creating a smooth, thickened base. (Approximately 2-3 minutes).
03
Step
25 mins
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato juice, and hot water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together beautifully. (Approximately 20-25 minutes).
04
Step
10 mins
Stir in the ground nutmeg and granulated sugar. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully blend and the sauce to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
05
Step
0 mins
Serve the minced beef generously spooned over hot, buttered toast. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
