Step 1

Make the chili: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and softened, about 6 minutes. Add the ground beef and McCormick® Original Chili Seasoning, and stir with a wooden spoon to break up the ground beef into small pieces. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked through. Stir in the tomato sauce and salt, and cook for another 2 minutes, until thickened slightly. Add the canned kidney beans and mix until combined.

Step 2

Pour the ground beef mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top.

Step 3

Make the mashed potatoes: Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place in a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 20–30 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large bowl.

Step 4

Add sour cream and melted butter to the bowl with the potatoes. Using an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed, whip the potatoes until smooth. Add the half-and-half, McCormick® Garlic Powder, white pepper, and salt, and mix on low speed until combined.

Step 5

Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the chili.

Step 6

Turn the broiler on high. Broil the shepherd’s pie for 10 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown. Serve warm.

Step 7

Enjoy!
