Ground Beef and Gravy Over Mashed Potatoes

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and onions, stirring constantly to ensure even coating. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes.
4. Slowly add beef broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken, about 5–8 minutes.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve the beef and gravy over a bed of mashed potatoes and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

Chef’s Tips

• For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef and gravy.
• Use instant mashed potatoes for a quicker meal.
• Leftovers taste great the next day; simply reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
