Thanks that looks great, I think I'll make that next weekend.
-
It does. I'd do it in the oven or stove top as I'm scaredf of pressure cookers and won't buy one. :-\
-
That looks great Julie, will add it to my list to try.
-
Cookie, I posted the link of how to make in the oven in the What's for dinner thread, (in case you didn't see it). :D
-
Will remember the butter and sliced potatoes to,use on other things. Mince, leftover meat and gravy from a roast etc..
-
I made this a couple of nights ago- it was a winner.
The left overs would have made a great pie filling but I took the left overs to work and we had it on toast. Someone asked for the recipe and I found your link to the non TMX version.
Thanks. Will definitely make it again.

On no that photo makes me want to go out and buy a pressure cooker which up until now I have had no desire for :o :o :o
-
Ooh knittercook, I am starting to like my pc.
Think they are a good purchase. Curry in 15mins, rice in TM, dinner done :)
H :)

Shhhhh H, I don't need to hear that :D DH was watching a cooking show the other day and they used one and he mentioned how his mother had one and I could see the cogs working but I chose to ignore him :P
Just for interest sake, you understand, what brand is yours?
-
I bought the cuisineart 6l electric pressure cooker. I dont know but I think the electric ones are easier to use, its all automatic.
You know the cooking equipment is never over, TM was meant tbe the last item. :D
H :)
-
Yes that is what I tell myself and as I work from home I can easily make stews etc. in my slow cooker :-\
-
Thank you made this today, and this is definitely a winner :)
-
Hally that is so funny, I keep buying stuff.

Made this tonight in the new stove top PC and I had way too much liquid, I thickened it a little with some cornflour and also tried to reduce a little but still ended up taking out a mug full before putting potato on top. It was a big hit tonight and will definitely make it again, it had such a lovely flavour.

Thanks JulieO, much appreciated.

We are having this tonight. I reduced the liquid so there wasn't as much to reduce but still found we needed to add some cornflour. I prepared it last night in the bowl of th PC but wanted to go to bed early so put the bowl in the fridge and then cooked it this morning. DH will put teh potato on tonight and put in the oven to brown. The casserole has such a lovely flavour and smelt great this morning. Can't wait to get home from work for tea.
