Thanks, it's really not that difficult and is so delicious.

Thanks, hope you both enjoy!

Thank you, it's definitely a favorite, especially in colder months.

How fantastic! Yes it is probably more common to add potato as well, but personally I have generally preferred it without (plus it's one less step). And agree beef works just fine but I will always prefer lamb.

It's one of those dishes we can not have for a few months when it's warmer but then fall back in love with it again when we next have it.

Thanks, Naina, yes it's great for cold weather.

I hope you do and enjoy it, Johanne!

Thanks, Loretta, yes there are great flavors in there. And thanks re the pot - I only have a few pots I really like and this is one of them! Wouldn't be without it!

Thanks, Sandhya, I hope you both enjoy!

Thanks Judi. Indeed, all good!

Thanks, Michelle. I went without it for a few years myself, then have most definitely got back in to it the last few years, we all like it so much!

Thanks, Sue. Yes it does sometimes amuse me what my toddler eats (and doesn't) - another of his favorites is a duck, turnip and bacon casserole with quinoa! I personally don't think this smells much of lamb at all, but then I do love lamb so I may be biased. All the more for you, though, if others won't eat it!

Thanks! And so true, Nancy, it is time well spent. Yes I have sometimes made it in a lower dish but often find I mis-judge and it spills over, and we can't lose it! I do also sometimes make it with about half the quantity of lamb and a bit less onion etc so the layers are thinner, but there is something nice about a thick chunk, as you say.

Thanks, Hilda, it really is a great dish and agree it is both great for a crowd or any time. You just get to have more if you don't have company 🙂
