[pnutts]

Tried an experiment today.

Made a Mexican Shepherd's Pie, my way from scratch.

 

Fed to my youngest son who is visiting. M :eat: mmmm

 

I see I have to shrink my pictures down a bit.

Broiled last 3 minutes to brown the spuds

 

Minus 3 servings

 

Made with Taco Bell style hamburg mix with peas and corn and 1/4 cup hot salsa.

Oh man, that looks scrumptious. And easy. I'll give it a whirl! And in a cast iron skillet to boot, perfect!

I used a clone recipe for taco bell mix, plus added the peas & corn, one whole chopped onion and 1/4 cup hot salsa.

Should have added 1/2 cup or even 1 cup salsa to hamburger mix. Added onions and salsa after mix just about cooked.

 

Baked in 350 F oven for 1 hour then broiled top to brown it. Cheese is optional.

So, what other ingredients are there? The topping appears to have been frozen hashbrowns. That opens up all kinds of options, but I will draw the line at dessert types. LOL

It's probably more a mexican cottage pie ... as it's done with beef. Shepherds pie is done with lamb/mutton etc. But either way it looks really yummy and inventive.

Don't like eating sheep ( he probably won't want me to eat him too ) . Don't like poultry either because it is fowl ( even foul )

Speaking of frozen hash browns. They can be part of your "go to", PA try when someone shows up an hour before dinner. Mixing in some grated cheddar would be a nice touch, as like butter, cheese makes any food better.

And don't forget to check you seasoning!

Yet I find cattle to be cuter than sheep and have more personality - but I guess that's a personal preference. Don't like chickens at all. haha.(Sorry Jehovah). My hubby loves hash browns so I might try this. You could grate your own potatoes and make this even more homemade.
