Hamburger Gravy over Mashed Potatoes

Description: I got this from a local cookbook. It's great for someone like me who is is not-so-hot at making gravy. Serve with sliced cantaloupe or tomatoes and hot biscuits.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs ground round
• 3 tablespoons margarine
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups milk
• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• hot cooked mashed potatoes

Steps:

1. Brown ground round. Drain any grease. Add margarine and flour. Cook for a few minutes over medium heat. Add milk. Increase heat and cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the cayenne pepper.
2. Serve over mashed potatoes.
