    Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

How to be creative
  • Add sautéed onions and garlic to the beef for extra flavor.
  • Top with crispy bacon bits or chives for added texture and taste.
  • Mix in some steamed broccoli or spinach into the mash for added nutrition.
Important Tips
  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture.
  • For extra flavor, use sharp cheddar cheese instead of mild.
  • Make sure not to overcook the beef; it should be browned but not dried out.
