Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F and lightly butter a 2-quart baking dish.

- Drain the beef, transfer it to a plate, and set it aside.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and melt the butter. Add the onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
- Stir in the tomato paste and flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, stock, and herbs and cook while stirring until the mixture has thickened.
- Add the browned beef and thawed frozen peas and carrots to the skillet. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Spread or pipe the potatoes over the beef filling. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese if desired.
- Bake the cottage pie for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is browned and the beef filling is bubbling.
