For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the mashed potatoes. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. Add a finely diced jalapeño to the beef mixture for an extra kick of heat. If you don't have taco seasoning on hand, you can make your own blend using chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk in the mashed potatoes.
