Wazza is that the "curry for crowds beef casserole"?It has a packet of leek and potato soup mix in it that is no longer available. If you would still like it I will post it when I have more time.

Alison Holst’s Curry For Crowds
This easy casserole is useful if you are entertaining a number of guests. Spiced with curry and a mixture of other flavourings, it is a good choice because it can be made and refrigerated one or two days before it is needed, and it will improve on standing. This is not an authentic Indian or Asian curry, but it is a curry-flavoured mixture which always seems popular.For 15-20 servings:

2-3 Kg lean chuck or blade beef steak
¼ cup each of curry powderandflour
4 onions
2 large garlic cloves
1 x 32g packet mushroom soup mix
1 x 32g packetleek and potato soup mix
1 tbsp soya sauce
¼ cup marmalade
1 cup fruit chutney
juice of 1 lemon
4-5 cups water

Trim the meat carefully, removing fat, and cut it into small even cubes.Shake in a bag with the curry powder and flour.
Cut the onions into chunks the same size as the meat, and cut the garlic into thin slices.
Heat a little oil in a very hot fry pan and brown a quarter of the coated meat at a time with some of the onion and garlic. Do not hurry this step.
Tip the browned meat and onion into a large heavy casserole dish, preferably one you can use for cooking, storing and serving. If the coating sticks to the pan, add some of the water, scrape the bottom clean with a fish slice, then add this to the meat. When all the meat and onion has been browned, sprinkle the soup mixes over the meat and stir to coat evenly.
In the pan used for cooking the meat, simmer the soya sauce, marmalade, chutney and lemon juice with half the remaining water. When evenly mixed, pour over the meat. Add enough water to bring the level almost to the top of the meat. Cover, and cook at 150°C for 2-3 hours, stirring after 30 minutes, until the meat is tender.
Serve with assorted side dishes.:-))
