Thank you Suzanne Rose
I also use my grandma’s Irish stew and it is delicious. I just throw everything in and slow cook in water or stock for 2-3 hours then thicken it with flour mixed with milk. I add parsley at the end. My family always cleaned their plates and asked for more!

Looks nice. I've got my grandmother's irish stew recipe too. It seems forever that I cooked it on the stove top. These days, it's the slow cooker.

Nutritious, flavoursome and delicious, for a lunch or dinner. Thankyou Suzanne for this popular Irish Stew recipe. One could have this Irish Stew several times a week, that's how delicious it is. And yes, as you say, it even tastes better the day, after as all the flavours just perfectly blend together, making it the perfect meal fit for a king or queen. Have a beautiful day Suzanne.

Dear member Nantes, goodmorning. Thankyou for your post. Yes cornflour is brilliant for thickening the juices in stews and goulash type of foods. Just remember not to place cornflour directly into a bit pot, on its own, as it will not dissolve so easy. As Suzanne has stated in her amazingly delishous recipe, place the cornflour into milk first, stir well, and then pour it into the cooking pot. Have a beautiful morning.
