Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef, cooking until no longer pink. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook for 3 to 5 minutes until softened and drain excess grease.
Transfer the cooked beef mixture to the slow cooker and spread frozen mixed vegetables over the top.
In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, brown gravy mix, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the beef and vegetables.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
In the last 2 hours of cooking, peel and chop potatoes into large chunks. Boil in salted water for 15 to 20 minutes until fork tender. Mash with butter until smooth.
Stir the beef filling gently, spreading it into an even layer. Spoon the mashed potatoes on top and spread to the edges.
Replace the lid and cook for an additional 1½ hours.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
