Beef recipes

This recipe doesn't say how many eggs you need to use for the topping. Also it isn't clear that you layer the mince and onion with the aubergine.

The recipe under "Greek Recipes" is much better than this one.

Great recipe, simple ingredients really easy to make. Thanks

This recipe clearly states 2 eggs

Nice but why no potatoes?

There is no need for potatoes due to the dumplings.

Over the moon it woz fan tastik

Made mine with potatoes and kidneys added also. Delicious!!!

Beef no good. Beef dry.

There was no oven temp for this recipe so i assumed it was the same as the beef stew.

Moderate oven (180°C/350°F or Gas Mark 4)
Lovely recipe for beef cobbler.

My 8 year old son had beef cobbler at school and asked me to make it at home for him. I found this recipe and made it today, it was beautiful. My son loved it and gave it a 9 :0) and I'd give it 10.

Being Welsh I added leek to it too, and because i've recently lost 10 stone i chose not to have the topping. Delicious, we'll definatley have it again. Thanks

I've made this for years and always thought it was cottage pie!

So exactly what is the difference between Cumberland Pie and Cottage Pie. And is there a difference between Cottage Pie and shepherds pie?

I'm sure Cumberland Pie has pickle included in the recipe making it different from Shepherds Pie (with minced lamb) and Cottage Pie (with minced beef). the way to remember the difference between these last two is shepherds look after sheep - hence lamb/shepherds pie.

Just glancing through the ingredients, I wondered "where are the carrots?". Then saw them written into Method. Suppose 2-3 carrots, but are they better grated or sliced?

SLICED DEFINITELY

I thought this sounded nice by the title but when I looked it wasnt, first of all I am allergic to tomatoes and cant eat any of the sort. I also think you should be precise and add recipes for all ages.

DUHHH!!! ever tried not putting the tomatoes in. Recipes aren't set in stone ya know *rolls eyes*

Being a 19 year old girl and being interested in cooking I was looking for a basic stew recipe. I too do not like tomatoes but with a few tweaks to the recipe and some use of common sense I made a really nice stew. I think its a good recipe for first time stew makers!

This is a Casserole not a stew. Stew is cooked in a pan on the hob, casserole in a casserole dish in the oven.

Great recipe

My name is panch, i like this recipe

Shepherd's pie is made with lamb, not beef.

Indeed, shepherd's pie is made with minced lamb.

Add a grated carrot and a clove or two of crushed/grated garlic to get extra flavour going (during step 1). This dish is a great way to get kids eating veg without knowing it!

This is a nice recipe for a healthy and enjoyable meal

Amazingly easy, healthy, and a tasty all-in-one dish.

I added a 2 bay leaves to meat when putting into oven... tasted gooood

If anyone's not keen on kidney beans, i substituted them for a tin of baked beans at the end of cooking time and it worked well

I added cumin powder to this as well which made it even better! Very easy to make, wonderful in flavour, fool proof... well recommended

What's not to like about kidney beans - they taste of nothing!!? I added worcester sauce to give it a bit of depth. Yummy!

I don't see egg in ingredients! Very confusing for a complete cookery novice like me. Recipe sounds good though, I'll try it tomorrow.

Whoops! Fixed

I like challenges this reciept will do just fine for me,am now going to the kitchen to get things started, so will let you know the results tomorrow

Tried it. Found it pretty bland

Very strong beef I loved it.

Lovely recipe will make again.

Ok so I realise your american but whats the point in listing a recipe thats includes cans of rubbish, 370 g jar fajita sauce. How about actually thinking for yourself and making the sauce yourself

Thats not very nice to say to someone who has taken the time to share a recipe

Edible but underwhelming. I wish I knew why...

I made too much potatoe and mince, so decided to eat them seperatly whilst waiting for the pie to cook. They taste better seperatly than together.

This was a wonderful recipe!!! I advise all users to try this! 10/10!

This recipe is very easy to cook, and tasted beautiful !!!!!!!

It was ok!!! juz not my taste

Didn't put mustard in but theywere lovely =]

Excellent recipe, however where is the Imperial measures, They are our heritage, plus easier to remember! IMPERIAL MEASURES PLEASE!!!!

Thank you

This recipe was amazing

I agree, Superb recipe, fabulous taste, will be making this Bolognese again and again.

My husband hates cabbage so i thought i would try to cook it another way. It was a hit, he really liked it. Would be ideal for dinner party.

With a glut of cabbages in the garden we have been looking for different ways to cook them. This one was a definite success!

It would be nice to be able to print the recipes without have all the other printing around it.

A delicious recipe and very easy to do. I used slightly more stock than suggested, but that was just my preference. Really, really tasty though.

This could be more detailed.
how do i know when the potatoes are
done.

I made this for my daughters 30th birthday family tea. Everybody loved it, even my young grandchildren.I served this dish with mashed potatoes and green beans,plus fresh tossed salad. My daughter now has the recipe and will be making it again. Great success, well received by the family.

This was excellent!!! Enjoyed it so much we could have ate it all over again!!!!

Never came to such a thought after frying, boiling the meat its cool

Can you give me a recipe for this mustard please?

The meatballs were amazing, so tender and tasty. I wasnt so enthralled with the sauce so i made my own . but it went down really well

Add tsp of powdered mustard

Superb! 10 out of 10

This recipe is excellent and actually better with lamb mince rather than beef. It's actually a recipe by well known english chef and appeared in the masterchef cookbook about 10 years ago.

I really appreciate you posting this recipe- I really enjoy making it on a friday night in with the girls! Personally I serve with noodles and stir-fryed peppers, you should try it sometime!

I work on a cattle station in the middle of the northern territory in australia, this recipe came in quite handy when i couldnt think of something new to do with beef. its different and still tastes pretty good.

Re ingredients last item 1/2 stick<4tbsp>...1/2 of what ? celery ?

Butter, it does say Butter

I found this recipe quite delious!

10/10

Made this for my mother on mothers & she loved it =)

Really nice and quick and easy to cook.

This blew my mind! Never have i ever eaten such a tasty morsel! Absolu Delish!

I take my hat off and my shoes to the individual...no, god/goddess who brought this recipe to our humble earth!

Fantasticulous!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best meal I have had in ages

Excellent!!!

Use Small can Tomato Paste instead of ketchup and add tablespoon of sugar, add some water to get the correct consistancy needed for easy sandwich spreading. Taste so much better.

Absolutely Delicious recipe, great as a starter.

Another great dish to add to your repetoire of mince beef recipes

I have been making this dish for years, and serve it with mixed vegetables and pasta spirals, however I lost the recipe, I can't believe I have found it again, so just wanted to say thanks

The English would alwyas eat this roast hot with gravy, roast potatoes and yorkshire pudding

Great good excellant recipe

Sprinkle cheese while croutons are on mince, well done great dish.

Which beer is best for this recipe?

Thanks for this, you've made it easy to make

We melted the cheese top and added a few extra flavour to the meat. This included left over chile paste, sun dried tomatoe pesto, red pepper, fresh basil leaves. very tasty

I just wondering leek or asparagus beef stew

Forget the cloves and corrianda,totally overwhelmed the beef,use water instead of milk,for pastry

Wow! 360 g of meat and 400 of salt pepper!

well spotted, neil

A little bit of dijon mustard (about a teaspoon and a half) and some brandy or cognac. I would also suggest using shallots instead of onion but that's your choice.
