Main Ingredients

Beef With Creamed Potato

First 1000 Days Team

“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.

“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.
