This recipe is one that I’ve been trying to perfect for a while now and last night I finally managed it! Omg guys...you need this in your life! It’s seriously so comforting, warm, delicious and hearty. Perfect comfort food.
It can also be made vegan using meat-free mince and vegan cheese!
I served mine on steamed veggies but Ben loves his with pasta, so it’s totally versatile!
Oh...did I mention there are hidden and undetectable veggies in there too?! AMAZING right?!
