Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your muffin tin and necessary equipment.
  2. Peel and chop the potatoes, then boil them in salted water for 10–12 minutes until tender. Drain and mash with milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a skillet, cook ground beef for 5–7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Sauté chopped onions and minced garlic with the cooked meat for about 3 minutes. Add peas and carrots, tomato paste, broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 3–5 minutes.
  5. Grease muffin tin. Fill each cup with meat mixture, about two-thirds full.
  6. Spread mashed potatoes evenly on top of meat mixture.
  7. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top of the mashed potatoes.
  8. Bake for 10–15 minutes until tops are golden brown. Broil for an additional 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness if desired.
  9. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
