This is absolutely a favourite everywhere. What makes it so great, is that you can chop and change the ingredients to whatever you want. The original recipe only has meat, salt, pepper, parsley and nutmeg in it, but I love it with onions and mushrooms. It is fantastic served hot with wedges and creamy garlic sauce! Try it without the beef stock as well using only milk and adding a little chilli for some kick. Divine!
