ALBERTA STYLE, HOT POT

8 medium potatoes
2 lbs.ground round or chopped sirloin
3 medium onions, diced
1 small yellow turnip, small cube
1 tsp. marjoram
1 Tbsp. salt
dash pepper
2 Tbsp. butter of margarine
2 Tbsp. parsley, minced
1 cup good beef stock

Grease, or properly prepare, a casserole Peel and slice potatoes and place one third of them in the bottom of casserole. Top with half of the meat, onion, and turnip. Sprinkle with some of the marjoram, salt and pepper. Repeat layers, ending up with final layer of  potatoes. Dot with butter and sprinkle with parsley. Pour beef stock over all.
Put the lid on casserole and bake at 350 F for 1 1/2 hours or until potatoes are tender. NOTE: One of the advantages of casserole cooking is that they do not easily burn-so timing is not that important.
