Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, brown the Ground Beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the diced Onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the diced Carrots and Parsnips to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the All-Purpose Flour over the vegetables and meat, stirring to coat. Cook for 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the Beef Broth, Tomato Paste, Worcestershire Sauce, and Dried Thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the Frozen Peas and season with Salt and Pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, boil the Potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with Milk, Butter, Salt, and Pepper until smooth.
Pour the meat and vegetable mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Spread the Mashed Potato Topping evenly over the meat and vegetable mixture.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
