Or are they just greedy bastards?

[Fleurdalys]

Made a bolognaise pasta sauce type thing with 1 kg of minced beef steak.
Onions, peppers and mushrooms added.
Have come home from work and DH and DS 18 have polished the bloody lot off leaving me with a measly ladle full of sauce
( pasta was cooked separately for clarification)
They are most of that too
Twats

What?? He thought you were cooking a whole meal but wouldn't actually want to eat any of it, and he could just eat the whole lot??

I'd have been absolutely livid at the complete lack of thought about anyone else. Just "me see food me eat food".

500g of meat, feeds 7 with some left over?

Wow. They must eat like a bird

Bolognese. But yea they should have left you some

Sorry 500g for 12?????

Wow, that would do 8 portions of spaghetti Bolognese in my house too.

12 portions if turned into lasagna (I go crazy with the cheese layers).

Greedy ignorant selfish pigs.
They would be coming home to cook for themselves.
I wouldn't tolerate that for a minute.

I soak green lentils in boiling water over night, give them a 20 minute boil and add a kilo to my mince when cooked.
It doubles the volume and is nutritional very good.
We are trying to reduce red meat as much as possible.

It's actually really thrown together
I work full time and like to do two days worth of meals at a time
Just sautéed peppers, onion, mushrooms, chilli and a hefty gallon or two of decent pasta

500g of meat, feeds 7 with some left over?

Depends how much veg is added I guess.

I often bulk out bolognese with mushrooms I blitz in the food processor, plus a good amount of lentils. Then I have chopped carrots, onion, and sometimes I chuck a red pepper in as well.

Im of the "if hungry eat something" persuasion... BUT would expect them to have filled up with extra pasta and to have left plenty for me! I'd also be sharing the cooking and the shopping. Glad you used up all the lunch ingredients - maybe they'll realise how selfish theyve been.

They are inconsiderate CFs. Do they have form for this? They sat there, stuffed it in and gave the OP no thought or if they did it was So What? Would be making their own food if it was down to me

Nah
They are just greedy fuckers

Next time, use half mince, half tinned green lentils.

That'll teach them.

I once made a huge amount of spaghetti bolognese mix - at least a kilo of mince, and a packet of bacon, plus loads of veg - and left it in the fridge with a view to making lasagne for us all the next day. My son and a few friends, who were staying the night, bet one of their number that he couldn’t eat the lot - he managed it!! I had to start again the next morning….

40g of mince is not enough for a portion my teens would be horrified and ask where the rest of it was.

Greedy shits! Order yourself a takeaway.

Bloody hell that's tragic!

Passata not pasta

That’s bonkers!! That would definitely be 6 decent portions over here!

The toilet bowl though?
😂

Definitely greedy. I suggest you order a takeaway for one and eat it in front of them. Say no if they ask for any.

You need to add lots of kidney beans etc to everything you cook bulk it out if they have such big appetites.

Horrendous, I'd be livid. They may well be hungry but the fact they they never even cared at all about whether you might be hungry too. I wouldn't be able to let this go! I'd definitely make them cook for me now, and possibly stop cooking for them going forward and expect them to sort themselves out. Not even kidding, if DH did this (which he wouldn't as we take it in turns to cook for each other) he'd be left with no uncertainty at how mad I was.

I think the fact that I am hungry and in need of dinner right now is making me feel quite angry about this 😂

The greedy bastards . Did they think you'd already eaten ?

Well, there is no dinner for tomorrow - they have eaten it. Their problem. You are not starting to cook all over again.

You stop off on the way home from work for either a meal or a take away.

The males in my family are bottomless pits, but would always make sure everyone had a meal.

Do this on repeat, every time they do that.

It was a lot for them to eat but some of the comments on this makes me think of the chicken that lasts all week lol.
