Ingredients

    1 lb 

     ground beef
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 cups beef broth
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    Salt and black pepper, to taste
    ½ teaspoon onion powder
    ½ teaspoon garlic powder
    4 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or prepared)
    2 tablespoons butter (optional)

Instructions


    In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.
    Add onion and garlic, cooking until soft and fragrant (about 3 minutes).
    Sprinkle flour evenly over the meat and stir well to combine. Cook for 1–2 minutes.
    Gradually whisk in beef broth. Add Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    Simmer 8–10 minutes until the gravy thickens and coats the beef.
    Stir in butter for a velvety finish (optional).
    Serve hot over a generous scoop of mashed potatoes.

Troubleshooting & Consistency Tips

    Gravy too thick? Whisk in a little extra broth or warm water.
    Too thin? Let it simmer uncovered for a few minutes longer.
    Bland flavor? Add a dash more Worcestershire or a pinch of salt.

Storage & Make-Ahead

    Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
    Freezer: Freeze in portions for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
    Reheat: Warm gently on the stove with a splash of broth or milk to loosen the texture.
