During these cooler winter months, you just cannot beat a warming casserole. The meat is always tender, and the vegetables with the various seasonings, herbs and gravy/stock just combine together and the taste is simply gorgeous. The other bonus is the sense of the taste you also get as the glorious aroma wafts through the kitchen into the hallway ....
Have all your cooking ingredients ready

Of course when you say the words Winter Green Beef Casserole, there is such a great choice of green vegetables to choose from. You could add to those I used, for example a few peas or green beans to name just two more ...
However, you choose to serve yours, hope you enjoy it.
All the best Jan

...a good winter dish.
Yum, it looks delicious, and very warming.
Easy! I like it. Next time I make a beef stew I will add cabbage as well.
Thanks.
:)
I love a hearty soup. Being a vegetarian I think lentils would substitute well for the steak in this one.
I said to my husband last night that beef stew would be on the menu soon. Great minds think alike! This looks delicious.
Hey Jan,
That's the sort of nutritious meal I could really do with right about now. Keep me warm on these chilly nights in the UK. Thank you for the recipe, Jan.

That sounds really good.
In season I make casseroles for my partner. Always welcomed.
Entro para desearte un Feliz Año Nuevo, junto a tus seres queridos.
Besos
It looks perfect for the freezing weather we are having right now!
Oh my does that look good.
Jan, this looks delicious!!! My Ml taught me to makes something (an Italian name which I cannot pronounce, let alone spell!!)..it's got fresh tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, Italian green beans, onion...cooked adding crushed red hot to spice it up, then I add itty bitty turkey meatballs...go good!!!...:)JP
A perfect meal for this time of year and especially the cold we're dealing with these days!
This sounds VERY good. Hugs, Valerie
I love leek. It helps us not to catch a cold.
That looks very tasty...but at present I'm living on salads...it's been pretty hot here over the past few days.
I'll store this one away for when winter comes. :)
this looks wonderful!
Hello, looks delicious and great for a cold winter day.
Have a happy day!
Why do you put it in the oven?
You know, that´s the one I´m still afraid of... I just can´t help it! It screams at me "I´ll burn you!" ;-)
Plus... ours takes forever to heat up, that´s time and money "wasted"...
It sounds and looks good!
Looks like a great dish. Seems to me like the addition of about half a cup of red wine wouldn't do it any harm. And then of course you get to share the rest of the bottle with your dining partner!
So good! Thank you Jan!
Sounds good to me. Especially as a fan of leeks. Strange how some folk just don't like leeks but it's just a long onion, and equally good ffur us as the rest of the onion family.
Have a lovely New Year Jan & Eddie. Keep up the good work for 2018.
This looks so tasty, must try'
