Ingredients

  • 1 pound minced beef (ground round, ground sirloin, ground steak)
  • 1 diced small diced onion
  • 1/2 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup beef stock or broth
  • 4 servings mashed potatoes

Instructions

  • Mash and prepare your potatoes to be ready when the mince is completely cooked.
    On medium heat in a large skillet, brown the beef and onions.
    Once cooked, add flour to mixture.
    Pour beef stock over mixture, lower heat and simmer 15-20 minutes.
    Serve the mashed potatoes with the meat - or serve the mashed potatoes on top of the meat - your preference!
  • Kitchen Tip: I simmered the mince longer and added a smidge more flour for a consistency I desired. If you are a cook who likes to tweak recipes, this recipe can be easily tweaked for the preference of the audience regarding consistency and optional vegetables or Worcester sauce.

Notes

Salt and pepper to taste
Add a splash of Worcester sauce for a kick.
Optional: Add your favorite vegetables.  Peas, carrots, corn all work well.
