Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes).

Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

2️⃣ Cook the Beef and Gravy:

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onions until beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain any excess grease.

Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Sprinkle in the flour and stir, cooking for another minute.

Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.

Simmer until the gravy thickens (about 5 minutes). Stir in butter for extra richness.

3️⃣ Assemble & Serve:

Spoon the beef and gravy over a generous serving of mashed potatoes.

Enjoy your warm and comforting meal!
