GROUND BEEF AND GRAVY
If you love a great comfort food dish that’s easy to make, add this ground beef and gravy recipe to your list.
❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love easy, delicious recipes, and this one falls into that category. We really feel like the mashed potatoes are a great addition, but you can serve this over rice or pasta, too. We also love that this is made in a skillet, and it comes together quickly.
SWAPS
If you are not a fan of ground beef or want a lower-fat option, you can make this with ground turkey. The thing with ground turkey is you need to season it a little more to give it a good taste. You may need to double the amount of garlic, minced onion, or Worcestershire sauce. I would suggest adding a little at a time until you get to your desired taste.
CAN I CUT THIS RECIPE IN HALF?
Yes, you can easily make this recipe with 1/2lb of ground beef and 1/2 of all the ingredients, so you have a smaller version that would be great for about two people. This dish does reheat well, so if you make the full amount, we found the leftovers to be good.
