  Was lovely, i put in mushrooms in to as i had some that needed using. I think red onion would be nice with this and will try it next time. I think i could do with more sauce. So maybe a can and a half of Guinness then finish the other half of the can while you wait!! Flavours was lovely though well worth the wait. Mash really good to quality comfort food!

  Dee-licious! I made half the amount for my husband and I and it was lovely. I wish I had a big enough pan to make the whole amount so I could freeze some for later. The mash is lovely and we've been having it instead of mashed potato ever since.

  Hi everyone, I am going to try this recipe next week but I need to buy a casserole dish first...can anyone recommend what sieze I would need to buy to cook this recipe, with this amount of ingredients? I'm a student and I want to learn how to cook. I hate ready meals and I'm in the process of buying some equipment for my kitchen to be able to cook lovely meals for me and my boyfriend...many thanks!

  I wanted a stew that tasted like it had been done in the slow cooker but that took half the time and this fitted the bill perfectly. I only used 700g of beef but it still served 5. Perfect winter comfort food especially with the snip mash, firmly in my winter repertoire!

  i don't like Guinness so I used a dark German wheat beer instead (Erdinger Dunkel to be precise) and this worked well. It's worth checking the liquid level after about two hours cooking. I found I had to top up with a little boiling water otherwise there would have been next to no gravy.

  I think Guinness is too bitter for this recipe - or any recipe. I always use Mackeson's stout for this and it's awesome - not too bitter but rich and sweet. Leave out the pinch of sugar though, the Mackeson's is sweet enough already. Great recipe, thank you!

  Added 2 cloves of garlic with the onions and some chilli flakes for a little kick to the gravy, agree best to add more liquid in the last hour so you have enough gravy

  I made two batches of this and in one I substituted half the guinness for beef stock and found this had a less harsh flavour so I mixed the two batches for the dinner party and everyone loved it. Next time I will add two thirds stout to one third stock and it should be perfect.

  This was great, made it with our local beer "6x". I only put 6 carrots in as I thought 10 seemed a bit much, but I probably would add more next time because they were really good. Also added some mushrooms about half an hour before the end. I cooked it all on the hob, but some of it did get a bit burnt and stuck to the bottom of the pan so I probably will try it in the oven next time.

  Absolutely lovely, straight forward stew. I used newcastle brown ale instead of guiness which was lovely.

  Made this a couple of times and it is delicious, I didn't change a thing. I'd like to make it for about 6 or more people, how can I increase the gravy? Adding stock?
