  4. Add the shredded roast beef to the skillet, stirring until heated through. Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  5. Stir in the thawed mixed vegetables until everything is well combined.
  6. Pour in the beef broth and allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
Assembly

  2. Top generously with mashed potatoes, smoothing it out with a spatula. Sprinkle with grated cheese if desired.
Baking
  1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  2. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to adjust ingredient quantities based on your preference. For a healthier twist, consider using sweet potatoes or cauliflower mash instead of regular mashed potatoes. Ensure the filling is not too watery; simmer longer if necessary.
