Ground Beef and Gravy Over Mashed Potatoes

Beef and Gravy:

1. In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
2. Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant.
3. Push beef to one side, add butter, and let it melt. Stir in flour and cook for about a minute to form a roux.
4. Gradually pour in beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
5. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well and simmer until the gravy thickens (about 5 minutes).
6. For a richer gravy, stir in milk or heavy cream and simmer for another 2 minutes.

Serving:

Spoon the beef and gravy over the mashed potatoes and enjoy! 😍

Would you add anything else to make it even better? Maybe some sautéed mushrooms or a sprinkle of cheese? 🧀✨
