I’ve had this meal many times, but never this extraordinarily delicious.

How To Make Mashed Potatoes with Ground Beef Gravy:
Step 1: Cook the potatoes in a pot of boiling water until fork-tender, then drain thoroughly. Mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion softens.
Step 3: Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir for one minute. Slowly add beef broth while stirring until the gravy thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and curry powder if using.
Step 4: If adding vegetables, stir in the frozen peas and carrots and cook until heated through.
Step 5: Plate the mashed potatoes and spoon the beef and gravy over the top. Enjoy.
