Made this for the Aussie/NZ #83 recipe swap and oh what a delicious and comfy recipe for a cold winters day! I used white button mushrooms and cremini mushrooms along with about two stalks of celery. Definately a keeper. DH could only go yummmm. Served some French bread along the side.

I had bought up a big bag of mushies today so this was the perfect recipe. I used beef mince so certainly did not need to cook for 3 hours but followed the recipe apart from that. It was delicious !!

The portion size was spot on and as I was only serving 3 I ended up with a portion to freeze for a later date. I used a mix of baby portabella mushrooms and white button mushrooms as that was what I had on hand but did use 2 small brown onions (sliced one fine and the other in wedges) and a1 large rib of celery and made as directed but found I really did not need to use the cornstarch/cornflour water mix to thicken it was fantastic as it was - I cooked for the full 3 hours. Thank you Chef Bugsy Mate for a fantastic recipe that the DM, DS and I thoroughly enjoyed, made for Aussie/Kiwi recipe swap #65 June 2012.

We enjoyed this a lot thanks Chef Buggsy Mate. I didn't know if I should remove the onion and celery after step 2 and before browning the beef, but that's what I did. I removed the lid of my pot about half an hour before serving and allowed the stew to thicken up naturally instead of adding in the cornflour slurry and I added some chopped parsley to finish.

I am blessed with a wonderful dh and four fantastic, crazy children. I am a stay at home mom who works from son up till son down. My favorite cookbook is not one that I cook with very often, it actually sits on top of my pantry propped up in an old basket. The cookbook was given to my grandmother just prior to her marriage to my grandfather and it has the family prayer and some recipes that my great-grandmother penned in her own hand inside. It is called All About Home Baking. <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=daringdingos.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/daringdingos.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/Swap14.JPG"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/GrassTree.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Erica.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/BottleBrush.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Darwinia.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/babygrey-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Correa.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picNW72Oj-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picCdyPjI-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic9ysNPn-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picbtGrUW-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pictSF7ey-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/my3chefsnov2008.jpg"> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group10peppers.jpg> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap2/group04cherry.jpg> <img src="http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n191/bb_babe626/Recipes/makemyrecipebannnner.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Holiday-plaid_HPI.gif">
