Prepare Mashed Potatoes:
Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Make the Minced Meat Gravy:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until browned.
Add the onion and garlic, cooking until they are soft and translucent.
Sprinkle flour over the meat and stir to coat, cooking it for another minute.
Add the beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce, bringing to a simmer.
Add the herbs, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until thickened. If using, add the vegetables in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Assemble the Dish:

Ladle the hot minced meat gravy over the mashed potatoes.
Serve:
Serve hot, perhaps with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad.
