Preparation
First, prepare the Guinness Beef Stew Recipe.
Bring a pot of water to a simmer, add the potatoes, continue to boil until potato chunks are fork-tender, 20ish minutes. Drain the potatoes, pat dry, and mashed potatoes over low heat to dry out a bit. Remove from heat add the butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, horseradish cream, seasoned salt, kosher salt and pepper. Mash to combine. Mix in the chopped parsley and cheese.
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Put the Guinness Beef Stew in a 10-inch skillet or baking dish. Spoon and spread the Mashies over the top. Bake until the top is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
Note: if the stew is too thick, add a little water or stock before putting in the baking pan.
