This is a delicious dish we make in argentina. It's almost more like a casserole than a pie. Instead of potatoes you can also use mashed cauliflower, carrots or sweet potatoes as well.

Boil the potatoes until soft enough to mash.

---

Drain then let cool down.

Chop the onions into long thin slices and cook the onion together with the ground beef in a heated pan with oil.

Once the beef is fully cooked but not too dry you can add the grated carrots , olives , and chopped boiled eggs.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

---

After the potatoes are cool enough , with a potatoe masher , mash them completely to take out as many chunks as possible.

In an oven safe dish , place a first half inch layer of mashed potatoes on the bottom of the dish.
