How To Make Mashed Potatoes with Ground Beef Gravy:
Step 1: Prepare Mashed Potatoes: Place the quartered and peeled potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes thoroughly. Mash the potatoes with the milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 2: Cook Ground Beef and Aromatics: Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any excess fat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef and cook until the onion is softened and translucent.
Step 3: Make the Gravy: Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir for about one minute to cook out the raw flour taste. Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly, and continue to cook until the gravy has thickened. Season the gravy generously with salt, pepper, and curry powder (if desired).
Step 4: Add Vegetables (Optional): If using, stir in the frozen carrots and peas. Cook the gravy until the vegetables are heated through.
Step 5: Serve: Spoon the mashed potatoes onto individual plates. Top generously with the ground beef and gravy. Enjoy!
