Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Made this today with the only exception was I put broccoli in very nice will make this again even the kids asked for seconds.
Made this last night, absolutely delicious, I added quarter of a cabbage an hour before it was finished cooking… Yum yum yum
Made this as a bulk freezer meal for my 10 month old. Absolutely delicious! Will be a go to meal for the whole family from now on!
Making this today. Added a dash of Woostershire sauce, 100 gm mushrooms and 5 ml crushed garlic
This was awesome. Even fussy miss 5 yr olds plate was scraped clean 🙂
Oh my gosh this is amazing,
Even my fussy husband enjoyed this
Will definitely be making this a fair bit in winter
Looks lush!! Ingredients say turnip & swede….they’re the same thing. So does that mean 4 of them??
The rutabaga or swede differs from the turnip (Brassica rapa) in that it is typically larger and yellow-orange rather than white. … In the north of England and Scotland, the larger, yellow rutabagas are called neeps or swede from folk etymology, while the smaller white turnips are called turnips.
Cooked this for 4.5 hours and the meat was incredibly dry and inedible. Used chuck steak so not sure what the problem was but there is no way i could have cooked this for 8 hours. The meat would have turned into rocks.
That’s very different to all the others who have cooked this dish and left feedback :/
It sounds like your slow cooker may cook quite hot?
I loved this. Just like my mums Irish stew. I added the swedes/turnips and onion in whole to extract the flavour but I don’t like them in my finished product (personal choice).
We just served with crusty buttered bread to mop up the broth. So glad I can keep this recipe alive (just like mums) but adapted to slow cooker. Thank you.
