  The original beef dish and both it's second uses have been yum - this one especially was nice though I did find it a bit salty - so maybe would use unsmoked bacon if I made it again.

  I am surprised this dish has only had 2 ratings so far. It is really delicious and the potatoes are fabulous!

  really nice and tasty-although i did not bother putting in the second lot of herbs or bacon and only sprinkled parmesan on top of the potatoes-try it

  Used the basic idea of this recipe to use up beef stew left overs. I left out the bacon and just used chedder cheese but it was really, really yummy. One day I'll make it properly!

  Am going to try this although worryingly the nutritional information for this recipe is exactly the same as for the original beef dish. Could someone please correct this?

  Absolutely delicious. With and without potatoes, next time I'll throw in some button mushrooms an hour before the end, and have parmesan mash on the side rather then this topping. Was well worth the cooking time, easy, and really really great. Made a veggie version with corn too and was great!

  Really tasty. I'm not really a casserole kind of person so was very pleasantly surprised by how nice this was. Delicious.

  Comfort food at its best. Totally delicious! I through it in the slow cooker for the day and added the pots and cheese later. I used unsmoked bacon though to reduce the saltiness :)

  This is a fabulous meal, the addition of the oregano and pancetta really lifted the stew and I loved the potato topping. Unusually for me I didn't change a thing!!

  I made this a while back but my potatoes cooked really unevenly (they were mostly even sliced - I am no chef but they weren't too bad) besides that though, awesome recipe.

  I used polenta instead of potato, sprinkled with oregano and parmesan. Awesome!
