Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:

- Create the Gravy:
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour over the browned beef, stirring continuously to create a roux.
- Gradually pour in the milk while stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
- Continue stirring until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
- Season the Gravy:
- Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the gravy. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Mash the Potatoes:
- Add the unsalted butter to the cooked and peeled potatoes in the mixing bowl.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy.
- Combine and Serve:
- Pour the savory beef gravy over the mashed potatoes, ensuring an even distribution.
- Optionally, toss in peas or your favorite veggies into the gravy mixture for added color and nutrition.
