This recipe holds a special place in my heart, as it was introduced to me during a neighborhood gathering where it quickly became the star of the potluck. The warm, savory flavors brought everyone together, with many asking for the recipe. I was lucky enough to get it from the kind cook, and now I’m sharing it with you, hoping it will bring as much joy to your table as it does to ours.

Recipe Variations:

• Healthier Option: Swap ground beef for ground turkey, and add extra vegetables like corn or green beans.
• Mushroom Gravy: Add mushrooms to the gravy for a richer, earthier flavor.
• Make-Ahead Potatoes: If pressed for time, make the mashed potatoes in advance. They can be easily reheated with a bit of milk to restore their creamy texture.

This dish is a true comfort classic that you’ll want to make again and again!
