Step 1
Begin by placing sweet potatoes in a large Dutch oven and filling it with water until it reaches three-quarters full.
Step 2
Bring the water to a vigorous boil and let the sweet potatoes cook for approximately ten minutes.
Step 3
Next, introduce chunks of beef chuck roast and ground bison into the pot, cooking until the meat is no longer pink, which should take around ten to twelve minutes.

Once the meat is cooked, stir in the drained carrots, peas, green beans, and spinach.

Continue to simmer over medium heat for about fifteen minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and meld with the flavors.
Step 6
After that, incorporate quick-cooking oats into the mixture, stirring thoroughly.
Step 7
Allow it to cook for an additional five to seven minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 8
Once thickened, remove the pot from the heat and blend in pumpkin puree and olive oil, letting the mixture cool for five to ten minutes.
Step 9
Transfer the cooked meat to a plate and chop it into smaller pieces before returning it to the vegetable medley.

Using a potato masher, mash the mixture until it reaches a delightful mushy consistency, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
