I wasn't inspired by this dish. We felt it lacked in flavor... sorry. I really wanted to like this recipe.

I also add celery to the potatoes, carrots and onion. We love this meal.

I have made this many times. I do not use stout but extra beef broth. It is excellent and very flavorful.

Although salt needs to be added to this recipe, it was an easy to fix and easy to clean up meal. After a long day at work, coming home to the aroma of honey and roasted beef was better than the welcome mat. My kids loved it too!
