• I often make loads more than this as it freezes well, just double up the quantities. I make it in a slow cooker and dont do from item 7 until it is about to be served or about to be frozen. It needs to be simmering well to thicken with the flour. I always find it best to remove quite a bit of the stock and mix it with the peanut butter mix first then mix it with the rest of the mixture as it goes very lumpy if you just add it and stir and if the beef is too tender it will just get lost in the stock
