How to Make Crock Pot Hamburger Gravy Over Rice

This slow cooker hamburger gravy recipe takes just a few minutes of hands-on prep.

1. Brown the ground beef. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, seasoning it with onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Drain excess grease.
2. Add everything to the Crock Pot. Transfer the browned beef to your slow cooker. Add the green beans, beef broth, onion soup mix, and cream of mushroom soup. Stir until combined.
3. Let the slow cooker do the work. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until hot and cooked through.
4. Prepare the rice. Cook your rice according to the package directions just before serving.
5. Serve and enjoy! Spoon the warm hamburger gravy over fluffy rice and dig into an easy, comforting dinner.

Tips for the Best Hamburger Gravy

• Drain the beef well. Removing excess grease helps keep the gravy from becoming oily.
• Adjust the consistency. If the gravy is thicker than you like, stir in a little extra beef broth until it reaches your preferred consistency.
• Cook the rice separately. Rice is best cooked separately rather than left in the slow cooker for hours, where it can become mushy.
• Make it a complete meal. The green beans cook right in the gravy, but you can serve additional vegetables on the side if your family likes more variety.

What to Serve With Hamburger Gravy and Rice

This Crock Pot hamburger gravy is hearty enough to serve on its own over rice, but a few simple sides make dinner even better.

• Steamed broccoli or roasted vegetables
• A crisp green salad
• Dinner rolls or homemade bread
• Corn or extra green beans

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Refrigerate: Store leftover hamburger gravy and rice in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.

Reheat: Warm the gravy in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of beef broth if needed. Reheat the rice until steaming hot.

Freeze: Freeze the cooled hamburger gravy in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months for an easy future dinner. For the best texture, prepare fresh rice when you’re ready to serve.
