A delicious and nutritious slow cooked Beef & Vegetable Casserole made with spelt grains, butternut squash, swede and leek – comfort food at its best!
I don’t know about you but I really couldn’t live without a bottle of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce in my cupboard as it seems to have so many culinary uses.
Whether it’s pepping up a Marie Rose Sauce or adding to a dish such as my Minced Beef and Onions.
I remember my dad always having it splashed on an English Breakfast and my mum loved it in a glass of tomato juice – it’s a sauce we’ve all grown up with which adds a power house of flavour.
We’re constantly being told to eat more fruit and vegetables (10 portions a day was headlining this week) and less red meat, so with this in mind I developed this delicious Beef & Vegetable Casserole.
The flavour of the beef is enhanced by the Worcestershire Sauce and with the addition of spelt grains, butternut squash, swede and leek it makes for a really economical, healthy and tasty meal.
Better still, it’s cooked in the slow cooker so that you can come home to a fabulous meal and just add some green vegetables and mashed potato.
My whole family loved this dish as the sweetness of the butternut squash and the swede really compliment the beef!
I hope you try my Beef & Vegetable Casserole but for more Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce recipe inspiration why not check out this video to see how to make a tasty Italian Lasagne!

This looks yummy, I always slow cook beef recipies gives it more flavour & cheaper to cook as I do mine in the slow cooker. You can add variety to beef recipies too.

Wooo this sounds lush! Ever since the horse meat scare I always buy beef fresh from the butchers and make up all my beef dinners from scratch! This one sounds lovely! Thanks!

Can you get spelt grains from a general supermarket? Can I replace it with barley grains? I have some to use up. I like slow cook recipes and am always looking for easy ones, so thanks.
Camilla
Yes, I used Sharpham Park Organic Pearled Spelt Grains which I know are available in Waitrose & from Ocado. Yes you could also use barley grains but the spelt is really good if you can get hold of it:-) Health food shops would also be a good place to look.
Maya Russell
Thanks, I’ll definitely try to get some.
