When I’m feeling lazy and just want to eat I have been known to leave out the onion - which I know adds to the flavour but it’s a bit of a faff, plus leaving it out makes it simpler to scale down to just one portion without ending up with 3/4 of an onion left. I never bother with the lemon.

Same! I put the grayed cheese in the sauce pan so it melts and goes all gooey Grin

Bangers and mash (frozen mash).

Ah yes and a dash of soy sauce 🙌❤️
antsinyourpanta · 23/10/2021 23:37

Haven't RTFT but slightly disappointed that (at least in the first 4 pages) there hasn't been anyone from the carb police or cheese-watch around to haughtily tell us all off and insist a huge salad is a suitable alternative!! 🤣

Titsywoo · 23/10/2021 23:43

Thin sirloin steak cooked medium rare with cheese melted on top in a ciabatta roll (with ketchup of course!)

elp30 · 24/10/2021 00:23

I always roast vegetables (whatever is cheap and available) and keep them in a container to eat as an accompaniment to fish/ meat, to mix in couscous; add cheese and have it as a filling for a quesadilla, tostadas or enchiladas, top a baked potato, add it to pasta and a simple tomato sauce, etc...

M&S Mac and cheese on M&S bread with a side of chips.. Grin

That's hysterical!
You do know it's obscenely unhealthy! Or whatever that hyperbole was 😆

drigon · 24/10/2021 01:26

I like: jacket pot, cheese and beans.
Sardines in tomato sauce, few shakes of Tabasco and a slice of cheese grilled on toast.
Fried egg, bacon, beans and toast.
Sausages and beans - either Heinz tinned with toast or crap sausages like Richmond.
Bit more effort- tuna and tinned sweetcorn with cream of mushroom soup plus pasta, cheese on top, then baked.

DjangoReinhart · 24/10/2021 01:37

Pasta with pesto and sour cream

OhWhyNot · 24/10/2021 08:06

Pasta with butter a few chilli flakes and cheese

Crinkle cut oven chip butty

Jacket potato (cooked in oven not microwave) with butter cheese lots of pepper and plain yogurt or beans and cheese

I love absolutely cheese on toast sometimes with tomatoes (lovely with beans on the side) too but my electric grill makes rubbish cheese on toast I envy people with good cheese on toast making grills

Peanut butter on hot toast with a good dusting of cinnamon and a sprinkle of sugar
