Notes
- Jumbuck Stew is suitable to freeze for up to two months.
- I only used a tablespoon of Worcestershire, and I didn’t have beef stock, so instead I used maggi gravy mix… threw it all in the slowcooker and let it cook for 6 hours! It was delicious served with Mash!
- You can replace the pumpkin with red sweet potato. You can also add any other vegetables if you wish!
