How To Make sweet-potato and sausage shepherd's pie

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 spray a regular loaf pan with cooking spray

Step 2

Boil potatoes until tender in a large pan.About 15 min.
Step 3

Combine olive oil, garlic and onions in a large skillet and saute for 5 min or until tender. Add sausage,beef and pepper. Saute until meat is cooked through..about 8 min. Add the beer and simmer until reduced by half..about 4 min. I usually remove the veggies after cooking and saute beef/sausage separately..then drain fat. You can do all together..might have more flavor!
Step 4

In a small glass mix the cornstarch with water. Add this to meat and stir until thickened. Remove from heat
Step 5

Spread the meat mixture in bottom of loaf pan, in small bowl mix the corn/creamed corn together and layer if over the meat.
Step 6

When potatoes are cooked, drain and return to pan. Add milk, butter and brown sugar, salt to taste, then mash till smooth. Spread over corn mixture
Step 7

Bake 35 min or until potatoes are lightly browned at the edges
