There is no doubt about this National Dish - Irish Beef Guinness Stew. There’s no greater comfort food than a hearty stew. And Irish Beef and Guinness Stew might be the king of them all! Guinness Beer gives the sauce an incredible rich, deep flavour, and the beef is fall-apart tender.

(See Chef AG's blog to learn more about Ireland and this beef guinness stew.)

To make our Puffed Pastry hand helds or pot pie's we first use our All Prepped Up recipe that can be purchased frozen for your slow cooker / Insta Pot / Stove top and/or Oven and precook it to perfection. We then fill the hand held or pot pie puffed pastry with this wonderful cooked ingredients, flash freezing the raw pastry for you to remove it from the freezer and bake it from frozen or you can thaw first and then bake it. Either way.

We make the hand helds 7" big, filled with 1/4 to 1/3 cup of ingredients. Enough for a large single serving and can be complemented with a salad. The Pot Pies are 5.5" round by 1.75" deep filled 2/3 of a cup to 1 cup of ingredients. Truly enough for a very large appetite plus left overs or serves two to three comfortably especially with a nice side salad.
