TUSCANY BEEF CASSEROLE

Global Cuisine Tuscany Beef Casserole is an intensely delicious flavour with a blend of red wine, garlic and traditional herbs. You can create a restaurant style meal when serving what is essentially a good, old fashioned casserole.

Prepare your Tuscany Beef Casserole using the directions on the back of the packet, then add large chunky potatoes, kumara and carrots.

As an accompaniment, make a lovely scalloped potato dish.

Serve with french bread.

Scalloped Potatoes

1 kg potatoes
1 packet of onion soup mix
2 cups milk
1/2 cup grated cheese

Slice the precooked potatoes and arrange them in layers in a buttered shallow ovenware dish. Sprinkle a packet of dry soup mix over each layer. Pour the milk over the potatoes, dampening the soup mix. Sprinkle grated cheese over the potatoes, then cover loosely with aluminium foil. Bake at 200°C for 20 minutes until golden brown. If the sauce is too thick before the potatoes are golden brown, add 1/2 cup of boiling water.
