• 1 pound of Ground beef (I recommend using lean ground beef to keep it healthier.)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for sautéing)
• 1/2 cup Onion, finely chopped (yellow onion works beautifully)
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced (fresh garlic adds a wonderful aroma)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (helps thicken the gravy)
• 2 cups Beef broth (homemade if you can, but store-bought is fine too)
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (adds depth to the flavor)
• Salt and pepper, to taste (don’t be shy!)

For the Mashed Potatoes:

• 4 large Potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks (Yukon Gold or Russet are great choices)
• 1/4 cup Milk (adjust for creaminess; I often splurge with heavy cream)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (use room temperature for easier mixing)
