Tater-tot Shepherd's Hot Pie Dish

This recipe was a HUGE hit with my husband, who LOVES potatoes... He might as well face it, he's addicted to spuds... ;)  He made a request one night for Shepherd's Pie.. but then he couldn't make up his mind between that and Tater-tot Hot Dish. So I thought, why not both!?!?!?

Result: Happy Husband, Easy Entree :)

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 6 cups frozen Tater Tots
• 2 cups frozen green beans, thawed
• 3 cups hot mashed potatoes
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheese (colby works great)
