    My child loved this when weaning and I still make something similar now but with chunkier pieces.

    I used to make this for my son when he was little (very similar if not exactly the same) - I used to make a big batch, use some for my dinner (before blitzing!) then blitz half and feed him, then freeze the rest to make weekdays easier ! (working mum)

    This is a great recipe to make in big batches and then put in the freezer for a later date . You could even feed the beef to older children or even adults before blitzing it up for the baby .
