Ingredients

½ tbsp chopped parsley

465g diced casserole beef

2 tbsp oil

1 chopped onion

150g halved button mushrooms

560g Asda Chosen by You Beef and Ale Pour Over Sauce

225g self raising flour

50g chilled (cubed butter)

150ml milk

½ tbsp chopped thyme

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/ Gas 4. Brown the beef in batches in 2 tbsp of oil.

Lift out with a slotted spoon and transfer to a casserole dish with the onion, carrots and mushrooms.
3
Pour in the Beef and Ale Pour Over Sauce and mix well. Put the lid on the casserole dish and cook in the oven for 2 hours
4
Prepare the cobbler 15 minutes before the 2 hours are up. Put 225g self raising flour into the bowl and rub in the butter until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add 1 tbsp each of the thyme and parsley. Make a well in the centre and add the milk (reserving 1-2 tbsp for glazing). Combine until it forms a soft dough.

Roll out on a lightly floured surface until 5ml thick. Cut out rounds 3-4 cm in diameter.
6
Carefully remove the dish after 2 hours and increase the heat to 200C/180C Fan/ Gas 6. Top the casserole with the rounds and brush with the reserved milk. Return to the oven for a further 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top.
