Shredded Slow Cooker Beef Fajitas This is a great make-a-head and it couldn't be simpler really. The beef becomes infused with the flavour of the spices and literally melts in your mouth. I consider this a more elegant take on the amazing original. Makes 8 Fajitas ½ tbsp (salted) butter ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil 454 g Stewing ...

Beef and Bean Soft Tacos
Beef and Bean Soft Tacos My love affair for Mexican continues :) I love adding legumes to meat dishes because it cuts the amount of meat (portion, portion, portion) and increases the fibre and vitamins from the beans.

Chunky Beef Soup My son LOVES Campbell’s Chunky Beef soup. LOVES it. I have made him a ton of homemade soups but he won’t eat them (ouch, my heart).
