I made this recently while we were at Mum and Dad's and it was a huge hit.... we served it with Mum's best 'Bashed' potato and green beans.... it was seriously good! The recipe is a Women's Weekly one from their 'Food we Love' cookbook.
This is the actual meal I cooked...
not one stolen from the cookbook... looks too good doesn't it??
