Grandma's Mulligan Hash

My dad remembers his mom making this simple, yet filling recipe for their family of 4 boys and 4 girls.  The recipe was never written down, and so this recipe was based off my my dad's recollection.

I love this picture of my Grandma Church in the kitchen.
I wish I remembered her!  She passed away in 1979 when I was only one.

Grandma's Mulligan Hash

Ingredients:
3 Large Potatoes
3 Medium Carrots
1 lb Ground beef
1 small onion
Salt and Pepper
Other seasons of choice
1/4-1/2 cup Milk
2 TBS Butter

Chop and boil the potatoes and carrots in two separate pots.  When softened, drain and combine in one pot.  Mash them together and add milk and butter to make them somewhat creamy--like the consistency of mashed potatoes. Meanwhile, brown ground beef with onion.  Add seasonings to your liking.  When finished, mix the ground beef with the mashed carrots and potatoes.

That's it!  It tastes best with ketchup.  My dad recalls eating it with relish too.


This is probably chunkier than my grandma made it--but I like chunks.  When my 5 year old son saw this, he thought it looked gross.  But when I told him his Grandpa Church used to eat this growing up, then he was excited to try it.  It was a hit, and he loved eating it with ketchup!


Even my baby girl loved it and she enjoyed eating it all by herself!


Simple, old family recipe, but kid/baby approved!
