I found this yummy recipe in a magazine and thought I would give it a go seeing that the nights have become rather chilly. The strong-flavoured stout beer is perfect for beef casserole. Its yeasty flavour sweetens the meat and gives good colour to the sauce. This one-pot wonder also makes an excellent base for beef and Guinness casserole; simply fill a ramekin with the casserole and top with puff pastry and bake.
You could also replace the Guinness with any other stout beer on the market. There are several Irish, English and Australian stouts that would work well. I hope you like this beef and Guinness casserole recipe just as I do.
