Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add onions, carrots, and celery; sauté until softened.
Add the minced beef and garlic; cook until browned.
Stir in the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Transfer the beef mixture to a baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top, smoothing it out.
If desired, sprinkle grated cheese on top of the mashed potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden.
Let it cool slightly before serving.

For a healthier option, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef, and sweet potatoes instead of regular mashed potatoes.
