• 1 (7-ounce) can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
• 2 1/4 pounds peeled sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• Filling:

• 3 tablespoons steak sauce (such as A-1)
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
2. To prepare topping, remove 1 chile and 2 teaspoons sauce from can; reserve remaining chiles and sauce for another use. Coarsely chop 1 chile.
3. Place potatoes in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cook 15 minutes or until very tender. Drain. Place potatoes, chopped chile, 2 teaspoons adobo sauce, milk, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth.
4. To prepare filling, cook beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Remove from pan; drain.
