Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Boil potatoes until very tender; drain, then mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart. Drain excess fat.

3. 3

   Add onion and carrots to the skillet; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing sauce to thicken slightly.

5. 5

   Stir in frozen peas and season the meat mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Transfer the meat mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Carefully spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top.
