With rising costs of everything, it’s a great idea making your last couple of videos about saving money without compromising flavour. I’ve cut up a whole chicken and now to buy some mince. Thanks Adam, enjoy your day off tomorrow.

As usual a great video with no waste tips.

Hi Adam! I like your approach of presenting meals on a budget - the right decision these days! 👍 BTW: The valentine's carrot was hilarious! 🥕 😂 Have a nice sunday!

I love stews Adam! Great timing with that horrible weather outside. Thanks for the great video 🙌

Thanks Adam and your boss Mogs for another wonderful idea. It looked absolutely scrumptious.

Fantastic video as always. Really enjoy your excellent and quality content!

Looks good. Great to see you back in the kitchen xx

Hi Adam ,using mince in your stew is a great idea. The stew looks delicious. I also liked the fact you freeze the veg and potato scraps to make stock.

Oh Adam 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just live for your videos!!!! Who else can make stew so naughty and entertaining??! Nobody! That's who! 🤣🤣 Hope you and Mogs had a happy Valentine's Day!

Adam, your really doing a great job mate. My family and I have enjoyed so many of your recipes over the years. Been budget cooking for a couple of years now and great to see you putting recipes like this out there. Keep them coming pal.

It's always a turnip. Wow thank you so much, I've made a food playlist of your videos. Again thank you so much.

I’m a new subscriber, Chris The Butcher recommended you & im looking forward to watching your delicious recipes!😋💗

A family favourite when the kids were young

I think I will give this a shot, looks good!

All chunky veg's that d way Adam looks lovely stew is always Nicer the next Day aswell pal yummy bit of bread

Thank you for these low cost meals, it helps so much Adam xx

We cooked this kind of stew years ago when my husband was out of work. Tasty and delicious and worth the effort. Thanks Adam!!!

So pleased I found you... Wonderful ❤

Simple and easy and how I make my stew usually with stewing beef but I am going to make it with ground beef instead. good recipe.

Glad you’re doing great Adam! You’re look and sounding fantastic. We all have to treat ourselves. On that note, stew!!!! Love it!!!

Brilliant this Adam! 👏

Great idea Adam, I have a stew planned for next week, I'll give it a try. Good to see you looking so well. Good job mate👍👌😋

I will do one of these for sure :) as always a great video

Hi Adam, I made this beef stew tonight and me and the hubs loved it, so a big thank you! Kitty scritches to Mogs!

Brilliant Adam,love hearty,wholesome good old fashioned substantial dishes like that,no frills but so tasty,economical,can freeze left overs,and most importantly you make it so easy to follow,and instill confidence in others to have a bash Thank-you Adam.I made this but put leeks in instead of onion,was delicious..What about a low budget lasagne or chicken curry, or beef goulash?? Great to watch you Adam as you keep it real,some of these TV celebrity chefs have all these fancy ingredients and make stuff that you cannt freeze or is economical.Would love to see you on doing your show something similar to READY STEADY COOK.5 ingredients you would be a hit overnight...

Adam.. enjoying looking back through the recipes of yore ..ie back before I discovered your channel. Your channel has given me so much inspiration..so many practical tips, and very tasty recipes! And thanks for listing the:swap- out ingredients! Because not everyone has a Swede at hand! (Although I do have a next door neighbour who's a Swede! I feel in the interests of full disclosure I had to mention)...

Very nice. Will give this a go.

It's valentines day 🥕😂. How on earth did I miss this one 😂❤

That looked nice 👌 Am gonna try Best wishes Adam. Enjoyed watching 👀 👌 as always

Great series, very relevant…

Nice, cheap, delicious this cheap Beef Stew is my kinda dish minced beef is such great value I love using it for all sorts of things. Marvelous cooking on a budget Adam oh...And...Happy belated Valentines day to you 🥕😁👍!!!

great stuff mate

Looks tasty thx for sharing 🍻😎😋

Nice job Adam 👍🏻 I make a similar thing with chicken, I put some sage and onion stuffing mix in when I make the dumplings, yum 😋 nice to see mogs, he’s a cutie 💕

Shared this on Facebook. Some friends may drop by 🤗

Firstly great recipe! Secondly I did your hack of Bernaise sauce but I added dill & served it over salmon. It is very hard to get creme fraiche here in Sydney Australia so I used sour cream - That sauce was stunning!!!

I can't think of a more welcome recipe on this God awful windy wet Winter's day, your timing is impeccable Adam. Shame I can't use up a half empty bag of bean sprouts I've got in this. Bummer.

Nice! Horse Farm Carrots! lol.... Great vid bud! :)

That looks amazing, I could eat that right now 😋

Hi, you always make my mouth water, I didn’t know you could make stew with mince, and wow dumplings too, which I haven’t had in a long time. Definitely going to try this.

Satan's bum crack 😂 love your channel . The beef cobbler you did ages ago is one of my staples , family love it 🍻. Have a really nice ham and lentil soup from my Scottish nan if you want the recipe 💪

Lovely low cost meal. Gas will be going up and I’m all for saving. Thank you xx Little Mogs 🥰🥰

Hi Adam, hope your well mate !! will give this a try soon 👍

A good idea on the veg Adam, over here they’re called the odd bunch and cheaper than the perfect looking ones, but still the same. Great looking dish, will save this for our winter, thank you!

Lovely stuff, and really impressed with the production on this one- showing the substitutions like that is an excellent idea! If you haven't tried it, do yourself a favour and buy a bottle of Henderson's relish when your Worcestershire sauce runs out. It's a total game changer 😁

Lovely video matey. Brings back memories of stews as a kid. The scousers make a huge deal about 'scouse', but as a working class person from the West Midlands, we were all brought up on the same stuff but simply called it 'stew'. Run a comb through ya hair next time you scruffy get 🤣

I love that stock. It is essential in my pantry. Sadly I cant get it where I live- have to order from amazon.

Adam - thank you for this new direction, which is $o tim€ly!

Hi Adam I've just subscribed where I live we call it lobby's because you can lobby's anything in that's a nice warming dish for the cold horrible weather we've had thanks ill put dumplings in next time I do it daft me has never thought of putting dumplings in the is only me and my son hubby in care home so when I make things like that I freeze what's left over in the small foil dishes and just put them in oven at a later date to heat up love fran xxx

Hi Adam nothing wrong with a beef stew on a cold winter day. I love that you can through whatever you want into a stew. Looks good . I don’t have marmite here in the states.

Well hello cherub, how the devil are you? That looks scrummy and we are all going to be looking for cheaper meals the way energy and food prices are going. Mince and a whole chicken are always an economical buy in my view. You can do so many different things with them and both are equally tasty. I always had to be an economical cook because we never had a lot of money and I always scrubbed my veg and if I wasn’t leaving skins on for the nutrients I’d freeze them and use for stock. I’d save everything from onion skins to cauliflower leaves. I’d box the stock up in smallish tubs and re freeze. It was great for soups, stews, risottos and even some pasta dishes. It was always a surprise as to flavour, as it depended on what kind of veg scraps I’d saved that week. I’m just on my own now and I still make it but don’t use it as often and sometimes have to throw my scraps away. I always feel a bit sad at doing that, like I’m saying goodbye to a flavourful friend 😂😂😂 Thanks for the recipes and your hard work Adam, it’s much appreciated. I love your channel, you cheer me up. Take care and be safe cherub lol xx

Adam food here is on the rise so a simple Pan of stewed meat and veg is lovely filling a great left over crust topped pie with gravy 👍🏼❤️

Awesome video my friend. Great money saver plus your belly will be full of good food, cheaper than fast food. 🏆

Looks delicious to me 👍

Thanks, Adam! You've put real thought in the recipe. Stews are a fantastic way to use all sorts of vegetables, inexpensive cuts of meat and all sorts of add-ons like peas, cabbage or other "soft" vegetables. Hearty and warming! Would it be conceivable to rank veggies by cost and come up with recipes based on that? For example, (potentially incorrectly) assuming that onions are somewhat inexpensive, would it make sense to cook French Onion Soup?

To show you how cheap we are, I make my own wine from bottled grape juice from Lidl or Aldi. It cost me roughly 40P to make a bottle of wine. Alcohol content is about 15%. Linda uses it in stew all the time. We started making stock from roasted chicken carcass and veg peelings years ago, its the best stock in the world and its made from garbage. Cheers mate

I love stew and dumplings ❤ not the crunchy dumpling the lovely soft fully steamed ones

Hi Adam….that’s Mondays tea sorted….when I was a kid my mum made many a thing with mince including your Mince and onion….👍

Thanks Adam. Cool. Aussie Bob

Dumplings, my way: 1 egg, flour until it is like a firm bread dough, add about a teaspoon of cardamom, pinch of salt and a teaspoon of sugar. Mix well. Shape with two wet teaspoons and drop in to the broth/stew/soup of your choice about 10-15 minutes before ready. They grow quite a bit, so it is a good thing to make them smaller than you think you should.

Good tucker Adam 🥂

Hi. K, Dumpling mix. Is it flour based or suet?

Good one! I do wonder about energy-efficient cooking. I wonder how much energy we lose 'round the sides' by frying or boiling on the hob - as well as cooking with a lid on? My foodi 'feels efficient' because I can pressure cook or slow cook and it does not get hot to touch - can't say that for a traditional hob pressure cooker, though they are cheaper. The foodi is expensive and I don't think I use the air-fryer function enough to justify the extra over a device that can saute/slow cook/pressure cook, like a Crockpot Express Pressure Cooker. I haven't tried one but its less than half the price of a foodi - and sometimes InstantPots are discounted too. If I'm right and giving up the hob is worthwhile - even though electric is generally more than gas - it would be interesting to know where the crossover is after the spend up front on one of the newer generation devices. My mum used to have a small hotel and the only catering piece they took with them when they sold was a free standing combi-microwave. It wasn't cheap, but it would roast, grill, oven and microwave - and whatever you did, the outside never got too warm to touch, which tells me that the energy went into the food, more or less. Can't say that of the 'stylish' steel Baumatic ovens I have. Don't go there.

Hi Adam yum yum my fav mam used to make this for us really nice 👍 se also made broth with a ham shank lol carrot it’s Valentine’s Day 😂😂😂😂💕 xxx

At this rate, next year it'll be feed your family for less than the price of a small car.... Looks really tasty btw.

i appreciate it's not this, but i make a cottage pie using oxtail soup as the liquid part. fry mince/onion as normal, then empty a can of oxtail soup into the pan with a few beef oxo cubes/salt/pepper and simmer down for 6-8 mins (add worcester sauce if you like it). then transfer to ovenproof oblong dish, allow to cool for few mins then add the potato topping in batches (so not to sink it into the beef mixture) and under the grill to brown the topping and transfer it to the oven for 30-35 mins. absolutely beautiful.

I love that big pot Adam where did you get it and what size is it please 🙏

Good show good bye love

Love these low cost meals, thanks for letting us see Mogs as well, how old is he? xx

Errrr..... Mr. Garrattt: Nuvva tip:Slow-roast whole chicken (guts out), then cook/heat thighs ztc. with stuffing you make......

Haha. Made a chicken casserole yesterday and used hot water to get the last of the Marmite out.

How you prepare side Adam

Thank you for another easy, tasty recipe. I too have had the pan not big enough situation on many occasions. It is a real pain in the proverbial. Looking forward to having a crack at this recipe. Note to self-get a big pan! Thanks Adam and hello to your lovely little pussy cat.

Cooking using residual heat?

How to do I get access to those cheap disfigured veggies?

I'm going to become a giant after wasting this

Errrr.... Mr. Garratt; you're making a meat stock that you can use in lots of dishes. Freeze some in ice cubes, cheaply getting freezer costs an' great for future. I know yo'u're about about low costs but maybe try using my suggestions?

You know you can make Indian daals for pennies. Last a few days too. And then once a week eat a meat dish. If you’re looking for real budget meals

Misses just got into hello fresh. Could you do a take on those recipes. As she likes the already segregated ingredients and meal time has to be healthy. Personally I would eat meat until I turn into a butchers bin. But yeah give me something impressive to make. But not sweet potato frittatas. 🍆🍆

Nice recipe mate, but surely wouldn't it have been cheaper to make your own dumplings, not having a dig just asking.

i never peel any vegetables

That's nothing - the Tories reckon you can feed a family for 30p per person
