    question

    What veggies could I add to this to add some more nutrition to it? Also would it be okay to add potato’s or will they just turn to mush?

    question

    I love this recipe and make it regularly. Its a great pleaser for family and friends alike. We use our own beef which makes it even more tasty. My question which I have always wondered from the first time I made the dish is: are the mustard seeds supposed to be black or yellow? Please clear…

    Hi Alex, I’m so pleased you like my recipe and love that you use your own beef! To be honest, either mustard seeds are fine to use.
