Preheat oven to 400°F.
Cook potatoes in boiling salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.
Drain potatoes and mash.
Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and enough milk to have a firm but not runny consistency.
Season potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat 1 tablespoons butter in saute pan; add onion, and saute for 5 minutes.
Add ground beef, and cook until beef is lightly browned; drain off any excess fat.
Add carrots and mushrooms to beef and cook until tender, about 10 minutes, adding 1-2 tablespoons water to keep beef from drying out, as needed.
Add Worcestershire sauce.
Stir together and add beef broth and cornstarch; bring all to a boil, stirring constantly.
Add nutmeg.
Remove from heat.
Place meat mixture into ovenproof casserole dish; cover with mashed potatoes.
Sprinkle with paprika if you like.
