Ground Beef and Gravy over Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Mashed Potatoes:

• 2 pounds (900 g) potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
• 1/4 cup (60 g) unsalted butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Ground Beef and Gravy:

• 1 pound (450 g) ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
• 2 cups (480 ml) beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Make the Mashed Potatoes:

• In a large pot, boil the chopped potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
• Add milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

1. Cook the Ground Beef:

• In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

1. Prepare the Gravy:

• Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture, stirring to combine. Cook for about 1 minute.
• Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

1. Serve:

• Spoon the creamy mashed potatoes onto plates and top with the ground beef and gravy mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley.
