Directions
In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; cook onion and ginger, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Add beef; cook, breaking up with spoon, for about 7 minutes or until browned.

Bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Meanwhile, in saucepan, pour in enough cold water to cover sweet potatoes; bring to boil.
Boil for 20 minutes or until tender; drain well. Mash with butter, add salt and pepper to taste.
