Making Ground Beef and Gravy Over Mashed Potatoes is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps for the best results:

1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: In a large pot, boil peeled and chopped potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with butter and milk until creamy. Set aside.
2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks, ensuring it browns evenly.
3. Add Onions and Garlic: Once the beef is browned, add in the chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Thicken the Gravy: Stir in the flour. Cook for about 1 minute, to remove the raw flour taste, stirring constantly.
5. Add Liquid Ingredients: Gradually pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine, letting it thicken as it heats up.
6. Season: Add salt, black pepper, and paprika, adjusting to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-10 minutes, until the gravy reaches the desired thickness.
7. Serve: Place a generous serving of mashed potatoes on a plate, top with the beef and gravy mixture, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

These easy steps will lead you to a delicious and comforting dish that you’ll want to make again and again!
