I call it 'Cozy Comfort'—they ask for it every Sunday night like clockwork!

Servings: 6

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef or lamb
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup beef broth
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.

Add the ground beef or lamb to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned.

Stir in the frozen peas and carrots, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

Transfer the meat mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Top the meat mixture with the mashed potatoes, spreading them to cover the meat completely.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
