This Ground Beef and Gravy Over Mashed Potatoes is the ultimate comfort food! Juicy ground beef is simmered in a rich, savory gravy and served over creamy mashed potatoes for a hearty, satisfying meal. Quick, easy, and perfect for busy weeknights!


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups beef broth
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried thyme (optional)
  • 2 tbsp sour cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 4 cups mashed potatoes (prepared)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.

  • Sauté Onion & Garlic: Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

  • Make the Roux: Push the beef to one side of the pan. Melt butter in the empty space, then whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute until golden.

  • Prepare the Gravy: Slowly add beef broth and milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Mix in Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and thyme. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.

  • Add Final Touches: Stir in sour cream (if using) for extra richness. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  • Serve: Spoon the beef and gravy mixture over warm mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!

Notes

  • Swap beef broth for chicken or vegetable broth if preferred.
  • For a thicker gravy, simmer for a few extra minutes.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or buttered bread.
