Directions:
Prepare the mashed potatoes.
Place the peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Add a bit of salt and heat until it boils.
Reduce the heat and let the potatoes cook slowly until they become soft, which should take about 20 minutes.
Drain the water from the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk and butter, then mash until it is smooth and creamy. Sprinkle salt and pepper as much as you prefer. Cover the pot with a lid to keep the potatoes warm while you prepare the sauce.
Prepare the ground meat by cooking it and then create the sauce.
In a large frying pan, cook the ground beef on medium-high heat until it is fully cooked. Take away any additional oil.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan with the meat. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
Mix the flour with the beef and stir for 2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour flavor.
Gradually pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the pan while stirring. Make sure to scrape off any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Warm the mixture until it begins to bubble softly and let the sauce thicken, which should happen in about 5 minutes.
If you like, you can add the frozen peas and carrots to the pot towards the end of the cooking time. They add color and more nutrients.
Put salt and pepper in the sauce as much as you like.
Serve: Place the creamy mashed potatoes on plates or in bowls.
Place the cooked ground beef and gravy on top of the mashed potatoes.
Warm it up and enjoy the comfort and warmth of this delicious meal.
I remember the first time I made this meal at home, my husband came into the kitchen because of the wonderful smell. “What are you creating?” he asked, peering over my shoulder. When I informed him, he seemed very pleased. He knew exactly what would happen.
We sat down to eat, and when we tried the food, it felt like we were back at that meal we shared. The mashed potatoes were creamy and buttery, a perfect combination with the delicious ground beef and gravy. We both decided to continue preparing this meal.
Since that time, it has become a common feature in our house. It’s a perfect meal for a cozy night at home, especially when it’s cold outside. I love how easy it is to make, but it tastes like food from a nice restaurant.
One fantastic aspect of this recipe is how flexible it can be. Sometimes, I enjoy changing things around. I added mushrooms to the sauce for a fresh flavor, or mixed sweet and regular potatoes for the mashed potatoes. You can make it healthier by using ground turkey instead of beef or adding more vegetables like green beans or corn. To improve the dish’s healthiness, consider using ground turkey instead of beef or adding extra vegetables such as green beans or corn.
Another idea: if you are short on time, you can prepare the mashed potatoes ahead of time. They become creamy again when heated with some milk. You can keep the sauce in the fridge for a few days, so it’s great for making ahead of time.
This dish is now our top pick for casual dinners with friends too. Making extra food for a big group is easy, and everyone enjoys it. There is something unique about how the tastes and feelings combine to make a very enjoyable experience. Additionally, there is a comforting feeling that only homemade food can offer.
