Beet Stump Pot - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, minced
1 (15 ounce) can sliced beets, drained

Preparation

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Return potatoes to the pot. Mash potatoes and butter using a potato masher. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef. Stir in the onions when the beef begins to brown. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the beets and mashed potato, and spread the mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes.
