Step 1
Brown ground beef in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains, 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in frozen peas and carrots, beef stock concentrate, Worcestershire sauce, and 0.5 cup water. Simmer 3 minutes.
Step 3
While beef cooks, whisk mashed potato flakes, butter, and milk in a bowl until creamy. Fold in cheese.
Step 4
Spread mashed potatoes evenly over the beef filling in the skillet, covering it completely.
Step 5
Broil 4 inches from the heat for 3–4 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges bubble.
Step 6
Let rest 1 minute. Serve straight from the skillet.
