Cowboy Pie

A variation on shephard's pie from Cooking Light, this uses sweet potatoes in place of regular baking potatoes and adds some chipotle kick to the filling.  I used real ground sirloin this time, although ground turkey has worked fine in the past, and chopped carrots along with frozen peas and corn and canned tomatoes with green chiles.  We skipped the chipotle pepper in adobo sauce and made adobo sauce from scratch, then mixed it into the sweet potatoes.  I made some corn bread on the side using chipotle cheddar, which was not quite right, as we forgot the sugar.  A little honey drizzled on top helped it.  There's a ton of this for leftovers for lunch and probably another couple servings after that.
