Beef stew/casserole

[sheothebudworths]

Well quite! They're way, waaaay better!

 

[aqua]

are they bugger they're all dry

if you don't like suet dumplings whydon't you try a cobbler instead?

 

[sheothebudworths]

They're not dry!
The bottom half soaks up all the sauce, the top is crusty - best of both worlds... ...and I like 'em just fine like that - that's the point!

Err, no fighting on here please. Send me one of each and I'll decide for you Can you send some stew as well?

 

[Biddlybee]

The stew is on and it's smelling good

(enough to feed a family of 5!!! )

Did you do dumplings?

 

[Biddlybee]

Not this time... I'll have mash and carrots

Might try those delia dumplings that sheo posted next time though.

If using Stout, I find Mackeson's is best as it's a milk stout - the sweetness works well in a stew.

Couldn't find this so went with Guinness... it's smelling lovely.. probably another half hour or so

Was gonna post a pic of Homer drooling but look at this one:

You should have that as a screen saver

 

[Biddlybee]

I haven't made a pudding, think I'll be too full of stew and mash

 

[Kanda]

Bit late but I just started making stew now

 

[MsShirlLaverne]

I was planning a beef stew today. I changed my mind and I'm having gin instead

 

[Biddlybee]

Starter, main & pud?

Well my stew was bloody lovely and I'm stuffed

YAY told you they were easy x

 

[Kanda]

Mine smells good, dunno what it'll be like though.

Shop didn't have any stewing steak so I chopped some rump steak, threw a load of veg in, an oxo cube, 1.5 pints of guinness and whatever herbs I could find... clueless cook mode.

Do you really need self raising flour for dumplings?? I bought plain and really can't be arsed to go back to the shop....:S

YAY told you they were easy x
