Beef With Creamed Potato
“A great dish for the expectant family as it can be made in advance and reheated later on or the following day”
Michelle Skelly, Dietician, Laois.
Toddler – Ragu Sauce
“This recipe is the the real McCoy and definitely doesn’t use any of those readymade pasta sauces. It’s just so versatile, soft and tender that it is worth the two hours cooking time – trust me it’s worth it!”
– Neven Maguire, Chef and Father
This dish is a perfect stand-by for converting into dishes such as moussaka, cannelloni, chilli con carne, lasagne, cottage pie and as a filling for pancakes and jacket potatoes.

You can add variety to this recipe by swapping chicken with fish such as salmon or cod.

TIP! It’s quite handy to have some frozen vegetables in the freezer for those days when it’s all go. Frozen broccoli florets will work just as well in this recipe and are just as nutritious.
