Spicy Shepherd's Pie

A kicked up version of the original. It calls for instant potatoes, but I use leftover real mashed potatoes.

I used a 12 ounces can of corn (couldn't find mexicorn). I used home made taco seasoning, no sodium. I omitted the salt. The package of mashed potatoes I used was not the best. I should have taken the brand Betty Crocker, and a flavor of butter and herbs. But other than that, it's perfect. Great recipe, easy to do. Thanks CoffeeB :) Made for PRMR1Reply
