This rich ground beef gravy recipe with mashed potatoes is a hearty meal that takes 15 minutes to make. You probably have all the ingredients in a your fridge and pantry to throw this downhome country dinner together tonight. Here is what you need to grab: ground beef, onion, garlic, flour, a can of beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. The ground beef, onion and garlic cook up in a skillet before the flour is added along with the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Season with black pepper and it's ready to be ladled over mashed potatoes.

The brown gravy with tender pieces of beef is perfect over creamy mashed potatoes. I made mashed Yukon gold potatoes, but whatever kind you enjoy will be a delicious bed for the beefy gravy. If you're really in a hurry, grab a bag of frozen mashed potatoes.

3. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds.
4. Sprinkle in the flour. Cook about 1 minute.
5. Add the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth.
6. Bring to a simmer and cook until gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more black pepper and Worcestershire sauce, if needed.
