This recipe is a homage to the classic Shepard's Pie. A shower of cheddar cheese compliments the crisp crunchiness of tater tots that replace the traditional mashed potatoes. Crushed sour cream and onion potato chips add the starchy thickness to the filling. This one dish,three course meal goes scandeliciously with a simple green salad!
