There are meals that feed your body.
And then there are meals that feed your soul.
This is one of them.
Warm.
Hearty.
Fragrant with onions, pepper, and rich brown gravy.
Ground Beef and Gravy Over Mashed Potatoes isn’t fancy.
It’s not Instagram-worthy.

Warm you up on a cold night
Comfort you after a long day
Feed a family for less than $10
It’s the kind of meal your grandma made when you were sick.
The kind you crave when it’s raining.
The kind that makes leftovers better the next day.
Let’s dive into how to make this no-fuss, one-skillet wonder — creamy, savory, and ready in 30 minutes.
