Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ground beef or lamb, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes to develop flavor.
Pour in the beef or vegetable stock and Worcestershire sauce, then stir in the fresh thyme. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken.
Add the frozen peas, season with salt and pepper, and remove from heat.
Transfer the meat filling to a baking dish and spread it evenly.
Layer the sliced potatoes over the filling, overlapping slightly to create a shingled effect.
Brush the potato slices with melted butter and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper. If desired, top with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crisp on top.
Let the hotpot rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm for a hearty and satisfying meal.
