My favorite beets are pickled. My stepmom makes a big batch every year and I always call dibs on as many jars as I can get. Also good braised with onions - peel and dice into about 1" pieces, saute with chopped onions until the onions start to caramelize, then pour some water or broth over them and let them simmer until tender. I also like to put a quartered beet or two in a pot roast - adds a nice sweetness to the roast.
