Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, heat water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to boiling. Add potatoes. Return to boiling. Reduce heat; cover. Simmer until tender, 20-25 minutes. Cool. Peel and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. In large skillet, melt butter in oil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until potatoes are lightly browned and onion is tender. Remove from heat. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well. Cover and cook over low heat for 5 minutes to heat through and blend flavors.
  • Notes: Just about any meat can be used in this recipie which was frankly as much to disguise the real "mystery meat" as anything else About the name? Literally, it was listed as "ground up animal" I don't know what it should be called, but the alternative family nickname was "Alpo Casserole" after a popular canned dog food of the period
