  We tried this at the weekend with excellent results. Loads of flavour. Was even better the following day!!! It was so good that my local pub is puting it on the menu for St Patricks day!!

  This was so simple to make and wonderfully tasty. We put it in the oven and disappeared to the pub on St Patrick's Day for a couple of hours, a little longer than it needed but it was fine. Took some for my mum-in law the next day and she rang singing it's praises. Will definitely be making again.

  A complete success...to please my 4 boys and Husband with a fab 1 pot meal is a first!! Even my little girl who is one liked it, so needless to say i've cooked it a few times now and it is definitely on my 'menu' ! It even looked the same as the picture in the magazine which was a little bonus for me , as it's usually like serving in a canteen in my house at mealtimes.....presentation is not always top of the list ;-)

  Made this a couple of times and we've loved it! Theres normally enough leftover for our 8 month old daughter to have whizzed up in the blender for lunch the next day too!

  I skipped the bacon but casserole still turned out wonderfully flavoursome. The potatoes in particular take on a lovely taste. Highly recommended and very very easy too!

  I'm tempted to try because of the great reviews! But, can I make this with chicken or beef? We're not big fans of lamb.

  Didn't have any lamb so used braising steak. Swapped thyme for marjoram and added a splash of worcestershire sauce. Lovely texture, very filling, will try again when I have some lamb!
