Beef and Gravy with Mashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Beef & Gravy:

• 2 lbs beef stew meat (or chuck roast, cut into chunks)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 packet onion soup mix
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 packet brown gravy mix
• Salt & black pepper, to taste

For the Mashed Potatoes:

• 3 lbs potatoes, peeled & cubed
• 4 tbsp butter
• ½ cup milk (more if needed)
• Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Brown the beef: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear beef chunks until browned on all sides (they don't need to be cooked through).
2. Make the gravy: In a slow cooker or large baking dish, combine onion soup mix, mushroom soup, beef broth, and gravy mix. Stir well. Add browned beef, cover, and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours (or bake at 300°F for about 3 hours) until beef is tender.
3. Cook potatoes: While beef cooks, boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 20 minutes). Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until creamy.
4. Serve: Spoon tender beef and savory gravy over fluffy mashed potatoes.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

• Add green beans, roasted carrots, or a side salad for a full meal.
• Try it over egg noodles or rice for a twist.

💡 Tips:

• For richer gravy, add a splash of red wine while cooking the beef.
• Leftovers taste even better the next day as the flavors deepen.
