👁️🫶🏼👁️
Looks wonderful Chef 👏👏
Looks so nice, I make something similar but will try this version. Also I never thought to blend tinned toms for passata!
I'm allergic to bell peppers so will either leave them out, or maybe substitute them for mushrooms. Either way, this looks like comfort in a bowl. thank you. Speaking of bowls – your speckled black bowl is a beauty, just love it. Cheers Rik
Yummm!
Wow, I love that! Thanks Rik
Great home style recipes. Thanks Rik❤
Hi Rik great recipe, love the way you use every little crumb and never leave any behind from your prep bowls waist not want not 😂
This looks fantastic! I will definitely be making it. I have a question for you, do you have any recipes for the Instant pot? I have been hesitant to use it, but recently decided to try it and have been pleasantly surprised with some results. I wonder if chefs frown on using it.
Looks like dinner tonight❤❤
Every meal you make looks awesome. Today made one of my favourite chicken recipe of yours, for the fifth or sixth time! Thanks Chef!
Wow. That's a lovely change from chicken pasta. That's my favourite type of pasta. A lovely quick dish. Thanks, Rik. I'm having your chicken Supreme tomorrow.
What is Passata?
Looks tasty. Kind of reminds me of a hamburger helper cheeseburger pasta meal.
Quick and easy and delicious too😋
What a great simple healthy recipe. Thank you, Rik
Yum yum looks delicious thanks Rik your brilliant ❤
Everyday I look.forward for your videos
Hi Rik. This does look delicious & am wanting to cook. Question 🙂 what do you mean by "this is beef broth with gravy granules mixed with?" Do you mean you put powdered gravy in with beef stock/broth? Not sure thank you
Honestly Rick, your grub is gorgeous. My husband says what’s Rick serving today! 😋
Fabulous, Rik.
Oh that’s a great quick dish for my grandsons to enjoy. Amazing Rik. Thank you. ❤🇦🇺
One pan wonders are wonderful xxx❤❤❤xxx
You should do Aussie Spag Bol
The thumbnail alone made me hungry 😩 another banger from Rik! Thanks for the recipe boss~
I have a “thing” with my garlic where if I want it tasting a bit stronger that day I’ll just fling it on top of the mince and veg close to the end of frying everything, so it just sweats a bit.
Rik, I came across a youtube channel a few months ago, its called The Sauce and Gravy channel. Recently within the last few weeks he uploaded a video called ( Marry Me Chicken ) which Ive made 4 times & it is simply incredible.
Maybe you could make it. . .here is the video

🥰
I think I can make this tomorrow and use up some pantry items. Thank you!
Mouthwatering. Everyone loves Italian meals but this is special.
7:39 I think I’m gonna make it right to this point. And like you said, eat it with some crusty bread. It’d be like a sloppy Joe. I really like this recipe. Great video. Thanks
Another amazing video, Rik!
This is beyond brilliant Rik. Really tasty food and you are absolutely fabulous for sharing these winning recipes.
Fabulous love a good creamy pasta and cheese !!!
Lovley Rik, everything you create makes my mouth water.
Looks cracking that Rik
I watch you at night and YOU make me hungry. So uber eats😊🇭🇲
I have some beef mince in the freezer. Now I know what I am using it for. Delicious and who doesnt love Mince and Pasta.. ❤
Glass of barrosa red🇦🇺
I think, I will add some peas. This should work. Thank you for this easy recipe.
Yet another great recipe Rik – please keep them coming.
Wow! Love one-pan recipes!
Love these quick recipes of yours Rik, as they make great dishes to reheat at work, but with this one, it should be ok to add both cheeses when reheating in a microwave? Work won't let us have a oven in case we hurt ourselves 🤔
Mm looks great yum ❤
It’s not a one pan meal if you use two pans to cook it
Can't decide between white wine or balsamic? Go for white balsamic!
Comment ça doit être trop bon ! Je vais la faire.
