Instructions

In a large Dutch oven, cover sweet potatoes with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. Add chuck roast and bison; cook until meat is no longer pink, about 10 to 12 minutes.
In the same pot, add carrots, peas, green beans, and spinach. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Stir in oats until the mixture thickens, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in pumpkin and olive oil; remove from heat and cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Dice the roast and return it to the mixture.
Mash the mixture to desired consistency using a potato masher. Allow the mixture to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Portion into resealable containers and freeze for later use.
