  4. Bring to a simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Peel and quarter 4 medium potatoes. Place them in the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish.
  6. Top the potatoes evenly with the meat mixture.
  7. Peel and slice 2 large carrots and arrange them over the top of the meat mixture.
  8. Bake, covered, at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the meat and potatoes are tender. Stir once or twice during baking.
