Picadillo Pie Topped With Sweet Potato image

This is out of "Eat Caribbean" cookbook. The description states this is a ground beef hash or 'picadillo' as it is known in Cuba. It is traditionally served with a fried egg on top. But in this case, the recipe is topped with a sweet potato topping turning it into a sweet potaote shepherd pie.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie didn't turn out very well. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try using less sweet potatoes next time.
