Ingredients
  

For the Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes or red potatoes for chunkiness
  • ¼ cup milk or almond milk for dairy-free version
  • 4 tablespoons butter or vegan butter if necessary
For the Beef Gravy
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey/chicken for lighter option
  • 1 cup beef broth adjust thickness as desired
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce as a perfect alternative
  • salt
  • pepper

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Peel and chop about 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes into equal pieces. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once tender (about 15-20 minutes), drain thoroughly. Add ¼ cup of milk and 4 tablespoons of butter in the same pot, mashing until creamy and smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 pound of ground beef. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat from the skillet, keeping the beef in the pan.
  3. With the skillet still on medium heat, add 1 cup of beef broth and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the cooked ground beef. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes until thick.
  4. Spoon the delicious ground beef and gravy generously over the creamy mashed potatoes on each plate. Enjoy warm!

Notes

Opt for lean ground beef to reduce excess fat. Always drain the potatoes well and mash while hot for creaminess. Adjust gravy thickness if needed, and feel free to add more seasonings to taste.
