Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes: Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain and return them to the pot.
- Mash the potatoes: Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper to the cooked potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Prepare the beef gravy: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add onions and garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
- Make the gravy: Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the dish: Spoon mashed potatoes onto plates and top with the beef gravy mixture. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- You can make the mashed potatoes ahead of time and reheat them before serving.
- If you prefer a thicker gravy, add more flour or cook it for a longer time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a sprinkle of fresh parsley as a garnish.
