This is a Mexican version of the Shepherd's Pie that is so popular in the UK. I decided to try this one night when I did not have any mashed potatoes. Its cheap, quick and easy...and my kids loved it! Serve with a tossed green salad for a great family meal!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • garlic powder to taste

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix

  • ¾ cup hot water

  • 1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained

  • 1 (8.5 ounce) package corn muffin mix

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (Optional)

  • 1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Transfer to the prepared baking dish, and top evenly with corn.

  4. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until puffed and golden. Garnish with olives and cheese.
