Tex Mex using the leftover mashed potatoes from stuffed potato akins

POTATO TOPPED CHIKI LOAF

1 egg
3Y milk
Chopped onion
1 can chopped chilie
10 saltiness crackers, crushed
4.5 tsp chili powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
3cups hot mashed potatoes
1 can mexicorn, drained
Green onions
1/2to 1cup grated cheese

Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.Pat into a greased 9x9 pan. Bake at 375 for 30 min, or until meat is no longer pink or has internal temp of 160 degrees.
Combine potatoes,corn and onions. Spread over meat.
Sprinkle with cheese and broil 6 in from heat 3-5 min until lightly browned.

Notes:
I would use bread crumbs ( virtually free) instead of crackers.I would use less chilies.use leftover potatoes and add enough warm to make the three cups.
I would omit the onions and corn from the topping. Sprinkle regular corn and some chopped peppers to the top of the meat and then top with potatoes. Sprinkle green onions over the top of the finished product. Or use dried parsley instead.
