absolute favourite budget meal!

[noddyholder]

following on from the shopping thread lets all post our fave budget meals and see if we can save a few £££££££.We always revert to heinz beans on thick toast with a big handful of grated cheddar when we are boerd and can't think of anything It is cheap and delicious!

Tortilla - fry off potatoes and onions with a clove of garlic until soft and then add some beaten eggs with lots of salt and black pepper. Transfer to oven and bake for 30mins or so.

Yum, yum!

Or just give the eggs a miss and make stovies! But no-one makes them quite like my mum does

Tin of tuna
Tin of toms
garlic
basil
basmati rice
Stick it all in a pan with a bit of water
15 mins or so and its ready.
Lovely

Thanks for all of these I have written them all down adn am seriously going to get back on track I am a good miser when I get going and we have had several holidays doing this.

Egg chips and beans!! mmmm

Stovies is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another vote for stovies here

egg fried rice

forgot to add the sausage and bean 'recipe' that i added above is really good with paprika added

Pasta with a couple of dollops of pesto paste, easy and cheap, add some cream if you are feeling flush. Sald if you are feeling flash .

Pasta with Brie/Camembert (cheapest) and tomatoes

While pasta is cooking, saute 1 chopped onion and 1 crushed clove garlic for few mins, then add 4 roughly chopped tomatoes. Stir in 1-2 tbsp of pasta's cooking water. Then stir in drained pasta, and finally, the chopped up brie.

or Frittata/tortilla - fry any left over veg (courgette/mushrooms/onion/potatoes etc) then add beaten eggs. Cover to cook top, or do this under the grill.
