Instructions

Boil potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash with butter and milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
In a skillet, brown ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
Add onion and carrots; cook until softened. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.
Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and flour. Stir to combine. Gradually add beef broth, scraping pan. Simmer until thickened.
Stir in frozen peas. Transfer filling to a baking dish and spread mashed potatoes on top. Create peaks with a fork for texture.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden. Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra browning if desired.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Add grated cheese or breadcrumbs to the potato topping before baking for a crispy crust.

Can be baked in individual ramekins for personalized servings.
