Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 jalapeño pepper, diced (de-seed for less heat)
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, and jalapeño and sauté until the vegetables are soft and tender.
3. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain off any excess fat from the pan.
4. Add the Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, cumin, and chili powder and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer until the liquid has been reduced and the sauce has thickened.
5. While the beef mixture is simmering, boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water until soft.
6. Mash the potatoes with the milk and butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Add the broccoli florets to the beef mixture and cook until tender.
8. Transfer the beef and veggie mixture to a baking dish and spread the mashed potatoes on top, making sure to cover the entire surface.
9. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the mashed potatoes.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on top and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
