Recipe Ingredients

- about 2 lbs of ground beef
- one medium-large onion
- a couple cloves of garlic
- 1 can (10 oz) of enchilada sauce
- 1 can of Ro-tel
- 1 can of corn, drained
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 1- 1 1/2 tbsp. chipotle pepper spice
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 5 to 6 medium sized potatoes
- 3 tbsp butter
- Milk, as needed
- 1/2 cup sour cream

Step 1: Quarter the potatoes and boil until fork tender.
Step 2: Chop up the onion and garlic and cook it with the ground beef in a big saute pan.
Step 3: Add all the spices.
Step 4: Add the Ro-tel, enchilada sauce and the drained corn. Let that cook and allow the sauce to thicken up. Add 1-2 tbsp of flour to thicken, if needed.
Step 5: Once the potatoes are done, drain and mash them with the butter, milk and sour cream.
