Stir in diced carrots, peas, garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Spread the meat mixture evenly in a baking dish.

Top with the mashed potatoes, smoothing with a spatula.

Sprinkle cheese and bread crumbs over the top for a crispy finish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
