    I didnt rinse my IP between stages, because i wanted to keep all that flavour in my dinner.

    I replaced the beef broth with 1 large can of diced tomatoes, eliminating rhe need to drown the serving with ketchup when eating it.

    I also added a little cream cheese to my mashed potatoes, as usual in my household.

    Excellent. All members of my family loved it. Meat needs a LITTLE something extra..maybe just more worshistire.

    Was tasty. Next time we will double the Worcestershire sauce to 4 TBSP. Couldn’t take it at all. You could add a little more black pepper as well.

    This one took a bit more time then most IP recipes but was worth the wait. I added some extra pepper and worchestire sauce as some on here recommended and it turned out great. Will make again soon.

    Tell people there is a special casserole dish before starting the recipe! We got to that part and couldn’t finish!

    Cannot get over how easy this is in the Instant Pot. I have since bought the air fryer lid, so plan to broil IN my instant pot this time!

    I didn’t know there was a special casserole dish I needed for this and will have to finish it in my regular oven. Annoying…
