Serves 4 , 1 syn per portion on extra easy

Lean stewing beef, all visible fat removed, cubed
2 onions, finely chopped
4 carrots, finely chopped
1 level tbsp plain flour
Salt and pepper
200ml boiling hot beef stock
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tin of baked beans in tomato sauce
3 potatoes thinly sliced

1. Place the beef, onions, carrots and flour in a baking dish, season and toss to mix well.

3. Cover with foil then place in the oven on 200c for about 1½ hours or until the potatoes are cooked and tender.
