Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Steam carrot slices in microwave for 3-4 minutes until tender. Bring 1 c broth, 1 c water, and 1 c lentils to a boil; simmer for 30 minutes until tender. Meanwhile, brown ground beef and onion in large skillet. Remove excess fat.
To the meat, add the steamed and drained carrots and other veggies of choice. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1 c broth, Worcestershire, tomato paste, flour, garlic, and salt & pepper. Stir into meat mixture.
Pour meat mixture into a large casserole (or two smaller casseroles if you'd like to freeze one for later). Top with prepared mashed potatoes to form a top crust. Dot mashed potatoes with butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and top with grated cheddar. Bake 5 minutes more until cheese is bubbly.
Note- This works well in a deep dish 10 inch pie plate to serve in wedges. This is also a great make ahead meal for vacation/camping. Just heat and eat!
