How to Make Mashed Potatoes with Ground Beef Gravy

Step 1:
Boil the potatoes until they’re easily pierced with a fork. Drain well, then mash with the milk, butter, salt, and pepper until creamy. Set aside.

Step 2:
In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain off any extra grease. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion becomes tender.

Step 3:
Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir for about a minute. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring until the gravy thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and curry powder if you choose to include it.

Step 4:
If using the vegetables, add the frozen peas and carrots and cook until warmed through.

Step 5:
Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates and ladle the beef gravy over the top. Serve and enjoy.
