June 6, 2025 by admin

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:

Place cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 16-21 minutes, until fork-tender.

Drain water and return potatoes to the pot. Mash with a potato masher.

Stir in butter and milk, adjusting for desired creaminess. Season with salt and pepper, then cover and set aside.

2. Cook the Ground Beef and Gravy:

Heat a skillet over medium heat, adding oil or butter if needed.

Add ground beef, cooking and breaking it into crumbles until browned. Drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tbsp in the pan.

Add diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.

Sprinkle flour over the beef mixture and stir to combine, cooking for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Gradually add beef broth, stirring to avoid lumps. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce (if using), and thyme (if using).

Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

3. Assemble and Serve:

Scoop a generous portion of mashed potatoes onto a plate.

Spoon the ground beef and gravy mixture over the potatoes.

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
