Indian Shepherd's Pie

My friend Karuna has turned me on to a number of different Indian dishes that she and her mom make.  One of them is something I call "heaven in a bowl."  Karuna's mom calls it "Indian Shepherd's Pie" but it's her own take on it and there's no meat involved.  She doesn't have a recipe written down for it so she gave me the ingredient list and I winged it.  It's really easy. 

Mashed potatoes
1 can of corn
1 onion
ground red pepper
cheese (whatever kind you like)

In a frying pan, sautee the corn and the onion.  Cut back on each if you're feeding less than 6.  I use 1 bag od Ore Ida Steam & Mash potatoes.  I cook them and the whip them into mashed potatoes.  You layer a cassarole dish or Corningware with a layer of mashed potatoes.  Cover the potatoes with the corn and onion mixture.  Sprinkle the red pepper to taste.  Add a layer of cheese, followed by another layer of mashed potatoes.  Cover the top of the mashed potatoes with cheese and continue the layering if you have more.  I usually put it into a 350 degree over until the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.  It's sooooo good!!
