Ground Beef & Gravy with Mashed Potatoes

4 tbsp butter

Salt to taste

👨‍🍳 How to Make It
1. Make the Mashed Potatoes:
Peel and chop potatoes, then boil in salted water until tender (about 15–20 minutes).

Drain, then mash with warm milk and butter. Season to taste and set aside.

2. Cook the Ground Beef & Gravy:
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.

Add onions and garlic; sauté until soft and fragrant.

Sprinkle flour over the beef and stir to coat evenly.

Slowly pour in beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the gravy thickens (about 5–7 minutes).

Stir in mushrooms or peas if using, and cook for another 2–3 minutes.

3. Assemble & Serve:
Spoon a generous helping of mashed potatoes onto each plate.

Top with a big scoop of beef and gravy.

Garnish with chopped parsley or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.

🍲 Tips & Variations
Make it creamy: Add a splash of heavy cream to the gravy for extra richness.

Add veggies: Stir in frozen mixed vegetables to turn this into a one-pan meal.

Serve over rice or egg noodles if you don’t have potatoes on hand.

Freeze the beef & gravy in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
