South of the Border Shepherd's Pie image

I have made many versions of Mexican Casseroles and this is one I've adapted from several recipes. Shepherd's Pie was one of the few things that I didn't like as a child, so I decided to tweak the old standby into something a bit more festive. This version, I love!
