Directions
Prepare the Mashed Potatoes:
- Place the cubed potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan.
- Add the milk and butter, then mash until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to reach the desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
Cook the Ground Beef:
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook about 5 minutes.
Make the Gravy:
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually stir in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and dried thyme. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve:
- Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates and top with the ground beef and gravy mixture.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
