Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mashed Potatoes:
Add potatoes to a large pot; fill with cold water; bring to a boil; allow to cook until potatoes have softened; approximately 20 minutes. Drain potatoes; place back into the pot; add milk, butter, cheese and nutmeg. Mash with an electric mixer to get creamy mashed potatoes or a hand masher for chunkier potatoes.
While potatoes are cooking, prepare the ground beef mixture.
Irish Cottage Pie:
In a large skillet, brown ground beef until no longer pink; add onions, carrots, celery and garlic; allow vegetables to soften for 2-3 minutes; add remaining ingredients; mix well; allow to cook over medium heat until most of the liquid has been absorbed; approximately 15-20 minutes.
Discard thyme and bay leaves; place meat mixture in a 13x9 inch casserole dish; top with prepared mashed potatoes.
Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
