Prepare the mashed potatoes.
Place the peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Add a bit of salt and heat until it boils.
Reduce the heat and let the potatoes cook slowly until they become soft, which should take about 20 minutes.
Drain the water from the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk and butter, then mash until it is smooth and creamy. Sprinkle salt and pepper as much as you prefer. Cover the pot with a lid to keep the potatoes warm while you prepare the sauce.
Prepare the ground meat by cooking it and then create the sauce.
In a large frying pan, cook the ground beef on medium-high heat until it is fully cooked. Take away any additional oil.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan with the meat. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
Mix the flour with the beef and stir for 2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour flavor.
Gradually pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce into the pan while stirring. Make sure to scrape off any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Warm the mixture until it begins to bubble softly and let the sauce thicken, which should happen in about 5 minutes.
If you like, you can add the frozen peas and carrots to the pot towards the end of the cooking time. They add color and more nutrients.
Put salt and pepper in the sauce as much as you like.
