Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large saucepan cook potatoes in enough lightly salted boiling water to cover for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender; drain. Mash with a potato masher or beat with an electric mixer on low speed. Gradually add sour cream, milk and salt, mashing or beating to make potato mixture light and fluffy. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese.

Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook beef, sweet pepper, onion, and garlic over medium heat until brown, stirring to break up meat as it cooks. Drain off any fat. Stir in tomato paste, water, corn, pickles, mustard, and oregano. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes to blend flavors. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
Step 3
Spoon beef mixture into a 2 1/2-quart baking dish. Spoon mashed potatoes in mounds over beef mixture. Sprinkle with additional cheese. Bake about 20 minutes or until heated through and cheese melts. Top with green onions and/or bacon, if desired.

My Wife is from Vermont and I am from Texas. We have difference of opinions on food. One of her very favorite recipe is Shepherd's Pie. It seems like a waste to me but I do eat it. So, when I saw this Cheeseburger Shepherd's Pie I was quick to get the recipe. Add a jalapeno, a dash of cumin and we have a Tex-Mex Shepherd's Pie!!! Thanks for the recipe.

I loved this, and the hubby said let's keep it in the rotation! I just have a few edits: You could get away with 1-1.25lbs meat if you don't have the full 1.5lbs. No sweet pepper - it doesn't add to the burger flavor. Have extra milk on hand in case your potatoes need it. While cooking the meat, season it with salt&pepper or your favorite salt-containing seasoning mix. If you don't like baked cheese, bake the dish without the extra cheese on top for 15 minutes to heat through, then sprinkle with remaining cheese and melt in over for 5-6 minutes.. Sooo good! Will definitely be making it again.
