Ground Beef and Gravy Over Mashed Potatoes

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Remove excess fat if necessary.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute, ensuring it’s well combined with the beef mixture.
4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Simmer the mixture until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a little more broth or water to reach the desired consistency.
6. Serve hot over mashed potatoes and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Chef’s Tips

• For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine when simmering the gravy.
• Use a potato masher for creamy mashed potatoes, adding a bit of butter and milk for richness.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated easily for a quick meal.
