Notes:

Freezer-friendly: Perfect for meal prep. Let it cool completely, portion into airtight containers, and freeze.

Dump bag-friendly: Brown the beef first (optional), then place all ingredients except mushrooms, thyme, and parsley into a freezer bag. Defrost overnight before cooking.

Serve with: Creamy mashed potato, rice, or crusty bread.

Optional add-ins: A splash of red wine or a bay leaf for deeper flavour.
