In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.

Stir in the mixed vegetables, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Spoon the mashed potatoes on top of the meat mixture, spreading them out with a spatula. Create a smooth surface for your ghostly design.

Using the shredded cheddar cheese, create a ghostly figure on top of the mashed potatoes. Shape the cheese into a ghost silhouette, giving your Shepherds Pie a spooky touch.

Place the black olive slices on the cheese figure to form eyes and a mouth, adding personality to your ghostly creation.
-
If desired, use ketchup or tomato sauce to draw additional spooky designs on the mashed potatoes around the ghost figure.

Bake the Ghostly Shepherds Pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Once done, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
