Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Boil potatoes in salted water until very tender, then drain. Mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

2. 2

   While potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion, cook until beef is browned and onion is softened. Drain excess fat.

3. 3

   Stir in carrots, cook for 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes, allowing sauce to thicken.

4. 4

   Stir in frozen peas and cook for 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the beef mixture in the skillet. Create peaks with a fork for crispier tops.

6. 6

   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
