Ingredients

For the Gravy

1 pound Ground Beef Substitute with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
1 medium Onion Yellow or white onions yield the best results.
2 cloves Garlic Freshly minced garlic is recommended.
2 cups Beef Broth Opt for low-sodium to manage saltiness.
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce Soy sauce is a great alternative.
1 cup All-Purpose Flour Use gluten-free flour if needed.

For the Mashed Potatoes

4 large Mashed Potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes work best.
4 tablespoons Butter Adjust the quantity based on your taste.
1 cup Milk Whole milk or heavy cream will make the potatoes extra decadent.

Equipment

Large Skillet

Method

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef, breaking it apart. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until browned, then drain excess fat.
Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until onions are soft and translucent.
Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture, stirring for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir until well combined and thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to enhance flavors.
Spoon the hamburger gravy over creamy mashed potatoes and serve.

Notes

For creamier mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, as they absorb gravy beautifully. For best results, prepare the gravy ahead of time if possible.
