Creamed beef over mashed potatoes is perfect.
1. Use Good Beef: Stick with the 80/20 ground beef and you will get a lot of flavor! When it melts, it gives itself back, adding richness to the gravy.
2. After Stirring, Add Flour to Beef: In order to avoid those irritating lumps in your gravy, it is important that you quickly add flour after stirring the liquid into beef.
3. Thickness: If your gravy is too thin, reduce a little longer. If it is too thick, add a little more beef broth until you get to the consistency that you like.
4. Add a boost of flavor: Sprinkle a little red wine or hot sauce on your gravy for an extra spicy kick.
5. Prepare this dish in advance. Keep the gravy and mashed potatoes in airtight containers per serving, then chill them. Before serving, heat it and mix it.
