- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
- 2 lbs (1 kg) ground beef
- 1 can 48 oz (1.36 litres) tomato juice
- 4 cups (1 litre) carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch (1/2-cm) thick slices

Instructions
- In a large 5 litre (20 cup)-capacity saucepan, soften the onion in the oil. Add the meat and cook, without crumbling too much, until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the tomato juice to cover the meat and add a layer of carrots. Cover with sliced potatoes, overlapping. Season with salt and pepper between each layer of vegetables. Add the remaining tomato juice.
- Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer gently for about 1 hour or until the vegetables are tender. Do not stir while cooking.
