How to Make Tex Mex Shepherd's Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and chop potatoes. Boil until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and mash with butter, milk, and salt & pepper to taste.
  3. While potatoes boil, brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease.
  4. Add onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute more.
  6. Mix in diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, and enchilada sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Pour the beef mixture into a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
  8. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the beef mixture.
  9. Top with shredded cheddar cheese (optional).
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
