Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent.
Add the ground chuck to the skillet and cook, breaking it up, until no longer pink.
Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, stirring well to combine.
Pour in the beef broth and add the gravy mix. Stir until combined and simmer for a few minutes to slightly thicken.
Transfer the beef and gravy mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Layer the mashed potatoes over the beef mixture, smoothing the top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the edges are bubbling.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Drain excess grease from the beef if needed before adding the broth.
Smooth the mashed potatoes evenly for uniform browning.
Let the dish rest a few minutes before serving.
