Ground Beef Mashed Potatoes
Easy, healthier Salisbury Steak style Ground Beef Mashed Potatoes. Ground beef and onions swimming in a rich, dark gravy poured over garlic butter mashed potatoes and cauliflower. This is the ultimate comfort food in my books.
Ingredients
For the beef:
- 2 lbs lean ground beef
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cups water
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
For the mashed potatoes:
- 2 lbs potatoes cut into chunks (about 6 medium)
- 1 medium head cauliflower chopped**
- 6 cups chicken broth*
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 cup whole milk
Instructions
Make the potatoes:
- Add the potatoes and cauliflower into a large pot.
- Add chicken broth to nearly cover the vegetables and a big pinch salt.
- Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until tender, abut 15-20 minutes.
- While the vegetables cook, melt the butter in small saucepan.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the milk and heat until hot but not boiling.
- Drain the cauliflower and potatoes in a colander, shaking several times to remove as much excess water as possible.
- Return them to the pot and add the hot milk. Mash.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Make the beef:
- Cook the ground beef in a heavy skillet until browned and almost cooked through.
- Add in the onion and cook for a few minutes until the onion has softened.
- In a small bowl combine the water, cornstarch, sugar and soy sauce. Whisk well until completely combined.

Notes
*you may not need all the broth, just make sure the vegetables are mostly covered. If you need more, just top up with water.
**can use another pound of potatoes if you don’t want the cauliflower.
