Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Fry the meat and drain excess fat. Add the carrots and cook until tender. Add butter and stir until melted. Add flour 1 tbsp at a time to really thicken. Deglaze with the guiness, wine and stock. Add worcestershire sauce and spices. Simmer 15 minutes, add peas and simmer an additional 15 minutes.

For the potatoes, boil potatoes until soft add tender. Mash with milk, cream cheese, garlic salt and pepper. Stir in 3/4 of the cheese, saving some for the top. Potatoes should be smooth and creamy.

Place meat and gravy in a large baking dish. Top with potatoes and sprinkle with cheese. Place in oven and bake for 20 - 30 minutes until starting to brown and bubble.

For this recipe I placed the meat in individual ramikins and topped with the potato and cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes if doing this.
