Preparation
- Start by peeling and chopping your potatoes into even-sized pieces. In a large pot, add the potatoes and enough salted water to cover them. Bring to a raging boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes well.
- While the potatoes are still hot, transfer them to a mixing bowl to mash. Add in butter, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside to cool slightly.
Cooking
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant.
- Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Mix in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and mixed vegetables. Pour in broth, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into a greased baking dish, smoothing the top.
- Using a piping bag, pipe ghost-shaped mashed potatoes over the beef mixture. Use whole peppercorns for eyes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Notes
For best results, make sure potatoes are hot while mashing. Adjust the seasoning to your taste and ensure proper cooling before freezing.
