1 cup (150 g) frozen mixed vegetables (peas and carrots)
2 tablespoons tomato paste

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub potatoes with olive oil and salt. Bake 45–60 minutes until fork-tender. Cool slightly.
Brown ground beef in a skillet. Add onion and cook until soft. Stir in garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add beef broth and vegetables. Simmer 5–7 minutes until thickened.
Slice potatoes in half and scoop out flesh, leaving a thin border. Mash with butter, milk, cheddar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Spoon meat mixture into potato skins, then top with mashed potatoes. Mound slightly.
