Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease 4 muffin cups.
Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 12 to 15 minutes; drain well and mash with the milk, butter, and half the cheese until smooth. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Stir in the tomato paste, peas, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the liquid reduces slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Divide the beef mixture among the muffin cups, pressing it down lightly. Spoon the mashed potatoes on top and smooth or swirl with a fork.
Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tops are lightly golden and the filling is bubbling. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
