Ingredients

• 5 Whole potatoes, peeled
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter
• 0.25 Cups milk
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) olive oil
• 2 Small onions, minced
• 1 Pound (lb) ground beef
• 3 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) spicy seasoned salt
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) taco seasoning
• 10 Ounces (oz) package frozen peas
• 10 Ounces (oz) package frozen corn

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the peeled potatoes and cook until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
3. Mash the potatoes by hand using a potato masher or sturdy whisk. Mix in the butter, milk, garlic powder, and salt. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced onions and cook until they are softened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Season with spicy seasoned salt and taco seasoning.
6. Stir in the frozen peas and corn, mixing until well combined and heated through.
7. Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
8. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the beef mixture, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the mashed potatoes are golden and the filling is hot and bubbly.
10. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Spicy Mexican Shepherd's Pie with a side of fresh salad or crusty bread.
