- Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Peel, then cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- To a large pot, add sweet potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover by approx. 1 inch (use same for 4 servings).
- Cover and bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Simmer uncovered 10-12 min, until fork-tender.
- Drain and return potatoes to the pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, using a strainer, drain and rinse beans.
- Thinly slice green onion, keeping white and green parts separate.
- Heat a large oven-proof pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add beef and yellow onions to the dry pan. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains and veggies are softened.** (TIP: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, use a large non-stick pan, then in step 5, transfer filling to an 8x8-inch baking dish [9x13-inch for 4 servings].)
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- To the pan, add Tex-Mex paste, Cream Sauce Spice Blend and tomato sauce base. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until toasted.
- Add 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water, corn, beans, green onion whites and beef stock powder. Cook for 5-6 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly. Season with pepper.
- Meanwhile, mash 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter into sweet potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top filling with mashed sweet potatoes, spreading evenly to cover.
- Sprinkle cheese over top.
- Broil in the middle of the oven for 3-5 min, until cheese is melted and golden.
- Let rest for 5 min before serving.
- Divide pie between plates.
- Sprinkle with remaining green onions.
