by Sarah CookThis simple stew has a gravy-like sauce that benefits from browning the beef first, but you can also just throw everything in the slow cooker pot and it will still taste great. The Yorkshire puddings are included in the budget but are optional as they need to be cooked in an oven or air fryer, albeit only briefly. This recipe is part of a budget slow cooker meal plan for four. In March 2023, it was costed at an average total of £6.70 when checking prices at four UK supermarkets.
