Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
- Peel, then cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. To a large pot, add sweet potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) (use same for 4 servings).
- Cover and bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Simmer uncovered for 10-12 min, until fork-tender. Drain and return sweet potatoes to the same pot, off heat. Mash 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter into sweet potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Using a strainer, drain and rinse beans.
- In a large non-stick pan, heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over medium-high.
- When the pan is hot, add beef, garlic and onion. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add Southwest Spice Blend, Tex-Mex paste, tomato sauce base, peppers, black beans and 1/2 cup (3/4 cup) water. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until peppers are tender crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer filling to an 8x8-inch baking dish (9x13-inch for 4 servings). Top with sweet potato mash, spreading evenly to cover filling.
- Broil in the middle of the oven for 5-6 min, until warmed through. (TIP: Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn!)
- Let shepherd's pie cool slightly for 4-5 min.
- Thinly slice green onions.
- Divide shepherd's pie between plates.
- Sprinkle green onions over top.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavour: The southwest spice blend and tex-mex flavours were enjoyable, though some found the overall seasoning a bit mild; one reviewer successfully swapped the spice blend for seasoning salt and replaced the tomato sauce with a ketchup-BBQ blend.
- Ease of prep: The recipe involves a few steps but is manageable; some reviewers found scaling for four servings required extra sweet potatoes to adequately cover the filling.
- Suggestions: Add extra sweet potatoes when making four servings, as the provided amount may not fully cover the dish; consider adding feta cheese or Greek yogurt on top for extra flavour. Use only the seasoning included in the packets and skip additional salt for a well-balanced result.
- Portions: Some reviewers felt the sweet potato topping was too thin for a four-person portion and added more to achieve full coverage.
