Bean & Beef Hotpot
I have made this one twice now in the last 2 weeks as the first time I made it the photos didn’t turn out. I tagged this recipe to make for a game I am involved in and my hubby and son are very glad I did, they absolutely love this one. I made this as is, except for adding some Mexican seasoning to the mix. It is so easy to make and is packed with flavour. I served ours topped with sour cream and cheese and it was a delicious meal.
