Staffordshire beef lobby
A delicious and hearty meal, ideal for those on a budget. See Tips for how to make this dish even more budget-friendly. Beef lobby is a classic Staffordshire stew, traditionally eaten by pottery workers.

You can make this recipe on the hob or in a slow cooker (see Tips for how).
