A delicious and nutritious slow cooked Beef & Vegetable Casserole made with spelt grains, butternut squash, swede and leek – comfort food at its best!

Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, Slow Cooker, Stew, Spelt grains, winter warmer

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!

Slow cooked, spelt grains, healthy, nutritious, stew, 5 a day,

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!

      I have never made a casserole with leftover cooked meat so can’t vouch for how that would turn out but you could follow the timings of my vegan stew which just has vegetables in it: https://www.fabfood4all.co.uk/easy-slow-cooker-vegan-stew-tangy-delicious/

    Looked for a recipe for leftover roast beef today, and stumbled across this. Even better had a squash, celery and some leeks that needed using – winner!! Anyway I have prepared this today for our tea tomorrow, will throw in slow cooker before work in the morning. Only thing I have done is skip out the speltgrains – kids and hubby will have a fit if I put them in. Cant wait to try – really easy and great use for leftover bits of veg I had. Thanks – will let you know verdict tomorrow 🙂

      I would put some other grains or red lentils in instead in that case to absorb the moisture and thicken the sauce:-)
