This is a huge winner in my house!! Not only because it is my mother in-laws recipe but because my 5 and 3 year old love, love , love it. My 5 year old is super fussy being autistic so if he loves it you know it amazing!
This was so tasty that I had two bowls! Yummy!
Is there anything else I can use instead of French onion soup mix as I cannot find it in England?

So easy and quite delicious. I seared my beef first and included the small amount of liquid from this. Didn’t need to add any additional flavours.
