Somehow the combination of the spicy beef, the sweetness of the corn and red bell pepper, and the simplicity of mashed potatoes makes a mouthwatering dish my whole family loves!

Time 1h30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ¼ cups peeled and cubed potatoes
1 pound ground beef
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
½ (10 ounce) package frozen corn
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup shredded Emmentaler cheese
3 tablespoons taco sauce
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
½ cup milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 25 minutes.
  • While potatoes are cooking, cook ground beef in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Add taco seasoning and stir until meat is coated; set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in frozen corn, water, and tomato paste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Transfer corn mixture to a shallow baking dish and spread to cover the bottom. Top with seasoned meat.
  • Drain potatoes. Add Emmentaler cheese, taco sauce, and butter and mash with potatoes. Add milk, salt, and pepper, mash until smooth, and spread on top of seasoned meat.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes begin to brown, about 30 minutes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shepherd's pie turned out really watery. I think I may have added too much liquid.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the filling and it was much better.

I thought the cornbread topping was a little dry. Next time, I'll try using a different recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of cornbread, so I used mashed potatoes for the topping instead. It was still delicious!
