While the potatoes cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, lamb and salt and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the meat is no longer pink. With a slotted spoon, transfer the crumbled meat to a medium bowl. Carefully pour or spoon off any fat that may be left in the pan, then discard.

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, heat the oil and butter together until the butter has melted. Add the onions, garlic, carrot, salt, pepper, thyme and bay leaf, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and the onions are beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
¾ cup diced carrots

1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper
1 bay leaf

Stir the crumbled meat into the vegetables, discarding any fat that has accumulated in the bowl. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until it has darkened in color, about 1 minute. Add the flour and stir well to incorporate the flour throughout the mixture.
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Add the wine and stir to incorporate. Bring the mixture to a boil then let the wine reduce until almost completely evaporated.

Stir in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture up to a boil again, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the filling 10 minutes, until slightly thickened.
1½ cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Add the peas, and stir to incorporate. Bring the mixture back to a simmer, then remove the skillet from the heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set the filling aside while you prepare the mashed potato topping.
1 cup frozen peas
Remove the June Pan from the June Oven and carefully transfer the potatoes from the June Pan to a chopping board. Cut each potato lengthwise in half, then use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Discard the skins or use for another purpose.

Add the cream, butter and salt to the bowl with the potatoes and mash the mixture until the butter and cream are incorporated. The mashed potatoes do not need to be completely smooth.
½ cup heavy whipping cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 teaspoons salt
Add the cheese to the potatoes and fold with a spatula until incorporated.

Scrape the filling into the rectangular baking dish and smooth the top. Remove the bay leaf and thyme stems from the filling and discard. Dollop the mashed potatoes over the the filling, then use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread and swirl them over the filling. Do not smooth the top--an uneven surface will help the potatoes brown.
