In a large skillet, cook the ground beef with the mushrooms and onion over medium-high heat until the beef is no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat. Stir in the flour, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until well combined. Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Mash the cooked potatoes to your desired consistency, adding the butter, half-and-half, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Spoon the mashed potatoes into bowls and top with the beef and mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with the French-fried onions before serving.
