Easy Recipe – Hashee with Stamppot

The following recipe is one of my favourite comfort foods.  It’s a Dutch dish that I grew up with!  It’s super simple and very budget friendly.  As for the Stamppot, I provided an actual recipe, but when I make it, I simply mash together carrots and potatoes with some butter and milk. :)
