Place cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt.
Boil until tender (about 15–20 minutes). Drain and return to the pot.
Add butter and warm milk, mash until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. (Optional: stir in cheese for cheesy goodness! 🧀)
🍲 Step 2: Cook the Beef and Make the Gravy
In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Add onion and cook until soft. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
Push meat to the side, melt butter in the pan, and sprinkle in flour. Stir and cook for 1 minute (make a quick roux!).
Slowly pour in beef broth, whisking until smooth.
Stir everything together, add Worcestershire sauce, and simmer until thickened (about 5–7 minutes).
Taste and season with salt & pepper.
🍽️ To Serve:
Spoon a big scoop of mashed potatoes onto each plate or bowl. Ladle that savory beef gravy right over the top. 🤤 Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if you’re feelin’ fancy. 🌿
💡 Ashley’s Cozy Tips:
Wanna add veggies? Toss in peas, carrots, or mushrooms to the beef mix! 🥕🍄
Try this over rice, toast, or even biscuits if you’re switching things up.
Leftovers? Reheat with a splash of broth or milk to keep it creamy.
Would you like a version with mushroom gravy next time? Or maybe a slow cooker version where it all simmers low and slow while you do your thing? 😘
