Step 1
Peel and chop the 2 lb potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the 1 lb ground beef and 1 chopped onion; cook until beef is browned and onion is soft, about 8 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the 15 oz tomato sauce and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Drain potatoes and mash with the 0.5 cup milk and 2 tbsp butter until smooth. Season with salt.
Step 5
Serve the meat sauce over the mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh herbs if you like.
