Ingredients

• 1 lb ground lamb or beef
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup beef or vegetable broth

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
3. In a skillet, brown the ground meat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and peas. Cook until softened. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and broth. Simmer until thickened.
4. Transfer the meat mixture to a baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes on top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Chef’s Tip: For a cheesy twist, mix some cheddar into the mashed potatoes before baking.
