A really simple and Thanked 5,074 cheap traditional welsh meal, 'tatws pum munud', or 'five minute potatoes' translated to Times in 848 english. Cooking time, 4 to 6 hours lol!! (5 minutes to prepare though, that's gotta be Posts second only to beans/cheese on toast surely?) Tatws pum munud (aka bacon casserole) INGREDIENTS: 1kg cooking bacon (-L-1.40) 400g loose new potatoes (-L-0.32) [sweet potatoes also work well] 200g button mushroom (-L-0.64 - -L-0.79 for 250g) 1 1/2 large onion (-L-0.44 - -L-0.88 for 3) 2 cubes vegetable stock (-L-0.02 - -L-0.19 for 10) 100g carrots (-L-0.08 - -L-0.90 for 1.2kg) [use frozen if you like] 100g peas (-L-0.11 - -L-0.98 for 900g) [use frozen if you like] 100g sweetcorn (-L-0.08 - -L-0.80 for 1.1kg) [use frozen if you like] some oil (-L-0.01 - -L-0.89 for 1 litre) sprinkle salt (-L-0.01 - -L-0.24 for 750g) sprinkle crushed black pepper (-L-0.02 - -L-1.07 for 50g) water (-L-0.00) note - prices are from tesco website today, amounts rounded up to penny. METHOD: 1) Cut any huge chunks of fat from the cooking bacon. Don't bother removing it all, you need some of it, and it's a myth that eating fat makes you fat anyway. You may find another use for the fat but to be honest I tend to throw it out 2) Clean and chop the potatoes and mushrooms roughly. Don't bother peeling the potatoes. 3) Peel and roughly chop the onions, lightly fry them in the oil to soften a little. Drain the oil. 4) Add all the ingredients (other than stock cubes and water) to your cooking thingermajig of choice (can be made in a huge pan on a hob, pyrex casserole dish in the oven, or crock pot in slow cooker - i have never personally tried the pan, tend to go for the casserole dish) 5) Stir it all up, it doesn't matter if you can't mix it too well (this seriously fills my casserole dish so have trouble doing so myself) you will be stirring when it's part cooked anyway and it gets easier when everything's a bit softer 6) Make up the stock with boiling water (or substitute with any stock you have from boiling bones etc) and add to the mixture. 7) Top up with water til all ingredients are just about covered. Cook on a low heat for a long time, checking and stirring every hour. This isn't an exact science, but for this kind of quantity I tend to put the casserole dish in the oven at about 160c for anything from four to six hours. There isn't really a 'correct' way of making the dish, I figure most people change it to suit their tastes. I've tried adding a couple of tins of tomato before now, was nice, but I prefer without. Mum does hers without the sweetcorn peas or carrots, gran doesn't add mushroom etc. Just have a play around with it really... The recipe is old style by it's very nature, it started as a 'use up leftovers from sunday roast' meal. If you give it a try let me know what you think, maybe I just like it for the 'nostalgia factor', but I think it's delicious and a pretty healthy meal really Oh, and you can expect this vat of food to fill up four adults as a main meal easily, I have a healthy appetite and this does me for at least 4 main meals (freezes ok but the potatoes do tend to go a bit 'soggy'), or can be spread out over eight lunches with a bit of crusty bread for dipping! total cost of meal (tesco prices): -L-3.13 I suppose I could try and be flash and say as a dessert you could follow with some bread and butter pudding or something, but to be honest I'd rather a lolly from the freezer, and at 99p for 12 that easily comes under budget though isn't too 'old style' haha!

On the other hand, MSEers at expert at bagging a bargain. I used a price of 42p for a tin of Princes tuna in one of these recipes. It was a good offer price but I have enough tins to last 12 meals (probably more as I often spread a meal over more than 1 day by adding extra pasta/rice/potatoes) and I rarely pay more than 50p per tin as I am always on the lookout for offers. I am not fussy about brand and stock up when offers are on. Cheap and cheerful. Preferably free. LBM - more a gradual rude awakening.

So here's my contribution based on Join Date: Dec Sainsbury's prices and -L-5 buys everything you need for the meal. 2004 Posts: 2,171 Vegetable Thai Curry served with boiled rice - Serves 4 Thanked 18,076 Times in 1,835 You will need: Posts Blue Dragon Coconut Cream UHT 250ml (add water to make up to 400ml) = 79p 1 tbsp Sainsburys thai green curry paste 250g jar = -L-1.49p 1 chopped Chillie from Sainsburys Chillies, Mixed 50g = 48p 2 loose onions = 13p x 2 (based on Sainsburys fiver meal price) = 26p 1 frozen packet of Findus frozen Wok vegetables 500g = -L-1.49p 1 packet Sainsburys Long Grain Rice 1kg = 43p Total cost: -L-4.94 1. Fry onions in oil until softened. 2. Add chillies and fry for a few minutes to help release their flavour. 3. Add frozen Wok vegetables to the pan and cook for a few minutes. 4. Stir in coconut cream (made up with water to 400ml) and thai green curry paste. Simmer for about 30mins. 5. Cook the rice according to the instructions. Any rice in your store cupboard would be great. Especially if you have any thai fragrant rice or jasmine rice. 6. To help it feel more special, why not serve in bowls with chopsticks. Other ideas to vary this: - leftover meat such as chicken is ideal for this dish simply cook with the onions at the start. - also ideal for any frozen prawns left in the freezer pop them into the dish about 5-10 minutes before serving depending on the size of the prawns. - add any leftover mushrooms you may have. - beansprouts are quite cheap to buy at the supermarket and could also be added - you could spice up the rice in a number of ways. Eg by adding fried chopped onions or an omelette (chopped) up to the rice. Enjoy! Great for a cheap alternative to a take-away night with your friends. Thanks for this fab thread Martin.
