Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 piece yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2.5 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for potatoes)
- 0.5 cup milk (for potatoes)
- 1 teaspoon salt (for potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cube the russet potatoes, then place them in a large pot filled with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat and set the browned beef aside.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes a light golden color.
Slowly whisk in the beef broth and milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir the browned ground beef back into the skillet. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Let the gravy simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the potatoes are fork-tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, milk, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mash until smooth and creamy.
To serve, scoop mashed potatoes onto a plate or bowl and ladle the hamburger gravy generously over the top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
