Supermums needed wih recipie ideas for an hour and a half!

[TheWiltedRose]

Ok so i have,
Mince (still frozen in freezer)
onions
potatoes (sprouting but still ok i think)
cabbage
sweetcorn
peas
mixed chunky veg
gravy
some oxo cubes

along with other various frozen foods and tins and noodles but need to make something for 5 ppl in about an hour and a half and i dont actually know how to cook!

That screams shephards pie to me!

i dont know how to make a shepards pie!

I dont even know how to peel potatoes wihout losing half of them!

shepherds' (or cottage) pie
beefburgers and mini roasties
savoury mince and mash

do you have garlic and any herbs?

got any heinz baked beans?

just use that and subsitute for what you have, ignore the parsnips

i have garlic an mixed herbs and i think i have some beans

Shepherds pie,def. Or spag bol

If so, shepherds pie:
defrost mince in microwave

peel potatoes, cut into small pieces, put onto boil
cut up onion and garlic, soften in oil
add mince and brown it
add tin of tomatoes if you have it, or squishy ones from fridge if you have them
add chunky veg
add stock made with stock cube if you want to
add worcestershire sauce
tomato puree

let it cook for 40 odd mins, til veg softened
then put into an oven proof dish
when potatoes are soft, mash them
add to top of stuff you've put in oven proof dish
grill
you can add cheese on top if you want

Spag bol easy too

soften onion and garlic
add mince, brown it
add tomatoes, tomato pureee
oregano if you have it
simmer for half hour
add water/stock

cook spaghetti when the above nearly ready, pour sauce over

i ahve no tomatoes and i dont know how to make stock and the most stupid quesion of all......

Do i pu the veg in frozen or cook it 1st?

without the potato isnt it just a stew? lol

if you follow WWW's recipe but add the tin of baked beans to the mince before simmering it will taste really nice with little effort

lol no pasta or i would do a cheating spag bol my mum used to just do mince and beans with onions and sweetcorn it was lovely

i think its either a sew or sheps pie but do i have to have tomatoes or can i just use stock

Do the LL thing (maybe not mince over the hotwater bowl) - fry the mincefrom froz. Add veg (froz or not), put in a ovenproof dish. Cook potatoes, don't bother peeling but cut off any green/sprouting bits), slice and layer on top. Bake until potaotes crisp.

You could do rissoles and serve with mashed potato and veg.

I never add stock or water to spag bol or cottage pie btw.

Don't use tomatoes unless you want a bolognaise sauce, rather than savoury mince. More british, doncha know.
