Step 1
Brown ground beef in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~6 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in tomato paste until coated, then pour in broth and add peas. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 3
Spread prepared mashed potatoes evenly over the beef mixture, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Sprinkle cheddar over potatoes. Broil on the upper rack for 3–4 minutes until golden and edges bubble.
Step 5
Let rest 2 minutes, then serve straight from the skillet.
