1 cup low-sodium beef broth
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 cups mashed potatoes (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground meat with diced onion until the meat is cooked through and onions are translucent.
Stir in carrots and peas along with Worcestershire sauce; cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a crockpot and pour in beef broth until just covered.
Spoon mashed potatoes evenly over the meat mixture; use a fork to create swirls on top.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until everything is tender.
If desired, sprinkle cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of cooking until melted.
Serve hot with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
