Re: Cheap And Cheerfull Dinners !

When I was at college we used to make a sort of lasagne.

layers of baked beans, cottage cheese and lasagne sheets (cooked in boiling water first), topped off with some grated cheese. Just bake it until ready. My friend was a vegetarian but I'm sure it would work just as well with other ingredients added. It was really quick and easy to make.

Other thing I used to eat a lot of was peanut butter on toast but I'm guessing you're asking us for more nutricious options than that.

Corned beef hash

Risotto with any bits of left over chicken/beef etc

Fried Rice (again , throw in any old bits of meat and a few onions, cabbage/broccoli, carrot), stick an egg in to bind it all.

Spag bol(1 lb of mince is well under a pound and will make 3/4 portions easily which freeze for when needed)

Home made mince an onion pies, cheese pies

Potato rosti with a bit of curry powder and some peppers/carrot etc

Sausage & mash( Cheesy, garlic, curry etc to taste)!

Spud pie(Old fashioned with a crust)

Home made pizza(french bread if youu can't be bothered to make the bases)

Quiche

Pancakes with a filling(mince and onion, cheese, chicken in sauce, beans, chilli)


Basically make a big pan of chilli, a pan of mince & onion, chicken in white sauce and a curry) Freeze these in portion sizes and get them out as required, Some of the ideas above pies, pancakes, Yorkshire pud filled whatever,

Re: Cheap And Cheerfull Dinners !

I tend to make leftover stew. Whatever meat you have left over from a meal (corned beef is great for this too) and leftover veg. Boil some chopped up potatos in a pan with an oxo cube, add the leftovers, serve with bread to dip in the gravy and add some HP Sauce to the gravy to spice it up a bit. Whatever is left of the stew gets a crust added to it the day after, and miraculously becomes spud pie...

Sure both would come in under budget though.

Onion curry...........................

Boil some onions in a pan til soft. Add a teaspoon of tumeric, Chilli powder to(as much as you can take).
Let that simmer for ten minutes. Then add gravy granuals, add a good helping of tomato sauce.
Boil some halved then quartered spuds. Then pop them in the deep fryer til light brown.
Place the spuds in a bowl, and pour over the curry.

This may sound awful BUT!!! believe me the amount of people that keep coming to my house asking me o make it. And it is a really good supper on a cold winter night.

Re: Cheap And Cheerfull Dinners !

Old fashioned Lancashire potato pie. When I was a student, I fed loads of people off a quarter of corned beef! - you can buy a can of corned beef for less than 50p, boil up some potatoes, mash them, stir in the corned beef so that it breaks up, a few fried onions if you like them, bung a shortcrust lid on it and bake until the pastry is golden. Serve with HP sauce, or Worcester sauce if you're posh. It's delicious, filling, and one of the best things about it - you can make it last over two days and it's even better warmed up.

You cant beat casserole or home made soup, it doesn't cost a lot and you can make loads and freeze it.
