  While the potatoes cook, melt 4 Tablespoons butter in a large skillet

Sauté  chopped onion in butter, until tender and golden, over medium heat, then  add ground beef in with the onions, cooking until the beef is no longer pink in color, now add you salt and pepper, pour 1/2 cup of beef broth.  Cook over low heat for 15 minutes uncovered.  If you feel you need more beef broth, add it to keep moist.  Now mix in all your veggies, carrots, corn and peas, making sure to mix together well and cook for another 10 minutes

Once your potatoes are cooked. mash and add the remaining butter, season to taste as you like with salt and pepper.
