CORN BEEF HASH Ingredients
1 tin corm beef Small packet of instant mash ( you could use normal potatoes, but they can be time
consuming Salt + pepper, to taste, if you use them Half a kettle water
Method Empty the corn beef onto a cutting board, cut into small cubes, best way to do this was by
cutting into strips then turning them around and repeat the cutting until you get cubes ( they are
easier to mix in Boil the water, tip the mash into a pudding basin, add the boiled water until it covers
the mash , stir with a fork Add the corn beef, stir that into the mash, add salt & pepper if desired
place all ingredients into a oven proof dish until cooked to your liking Best cooked in a hot oven
until the top is crusty, but make sure the middle is cooked too by inserting a knife, as with cake if it
comes out clean it's cooked Serve and Enjoy **************
Cheese & Potato (Pie) But Not really a pie)
Ingredients
Mature cheese { size depending on how many for } (depending what cheese you like Packet of
instant mash Half a kettle of water Onion or onion salt ( optional ) Tomatoes ( optional ) Soar milk (
if any available) a squeeze of lemon juice if not & Normal milk
Method
Grate the cheese into a container, this makes it easier to mix in Boil the water add to the mash, stir,
then add the cheese & milk (the lemon helps to add flavour and curdle the milk slightly Empty the
mixture into a casserole dish if oven cooking, then add tomatoes if using Or you can put straight
onto the plates for serving if using a microwave ( this will make it a little sloppy if you have added
too much water ( other way is to place plate with mixture under grill & leave till brown on top
Serve and Enjoy

snack

amount of mustard (to suit taste ) Place the mixture into a microwave, this is the quickest way to set
it, you can use saucepan on top of the stove, but you will need to keep stirring - with microwave you

just pop it in set to Full power for about 5 minutes and keep a eye to it, when it starts to thickens take
it out and stir well ( Don't worry if it looks weird it will smooth as you stir Next, Spread onto pieces
of toast, place under a hot grill until brown spots appear - Serve and Enjoy **************
This Next recipe was out of an old cookbook called "Save Money Cookbook
Sausage Roast
Ingredients
1 lb Sausage Meat ( You don't need to use all of it if just cooking for yourself 3 oz Plain Flour (Self
Raising will do if not 1 oz Fine oatmeal ( I also use half a crumbled up wheatabix Salt Pepper (
optional) Pinch of ground Nutmeg (optional) 1 Beaten egg
Method
Mix together the sausage meat, flour, oatmeal, salt & pepper and the beaten egg, until it stiffens
enough to tip onto a floured pastry board, this is when I add the wheatabix which gives the dish a
crunchy finish Place onto a greased baking tray . Bake at 350oF (Gas 4) for 40 minutes Serve with
gravy and root vegetables A variation of this is to replace sausage meat with Corn Beef, also with
gravy
**************
Healthy Chips!!
If your children love chips as most do, there is a way to make them healthier, this will require you to
make them yourself, but I it's worth the time as are also much tastier Take small amount of raw
potatoes leave the skin on, wash and cut them into chips,the advantage is that you will be giving
them Roughage in their diet which is something that you don't hear much about these days, but it
will make for a healthier chip **************
Quick Home Made Soup
For those who prefer home made soups, here is a bit of a cheating way
Boil some water add it to a pan, add two bullion cubes, then add some chopped up vegetables for
added goodness Simmer for a short while, until you are ready to make the actual soup, then mix a
small amount of corn flour in a cup with water Add it to the hot water, stir until it the liquid thickens,
strain through a sieve and serve immediately Note you can use normal flour, if you don't have
corn-flour, but it will require more mixing. ************** Toad in the Hole
Which sounds weird, basically it's sausages baked within Yorkshire pudding mix ( same as pancake
batter mix ) requires cooking in hot oven, until sausage s are cooked and the batter has risen. You
need to place the sausages in a baking tin or dish, then pour over the batter mix and cook in a
moderate oven in the middle, the trick is to cook it slowly so that the sausages cook first then the
batter has chance to rise and harden - cooking time 1 hour approx **************
Sausages and mash
You will need about a pound of sausages, prick them and cook under the grill until brown turning
occasionally, when cooked enough Make instant mash (quickest ) cut up the sausages ( if desired )
place all ingredients together, can be served right away ************** This is all the recipes, But
a couple of suggestions for cheap meals
Breast of Lamb, this is dearer than it used to be, But still a cheap dinner, cut into strips, it Must be
Well cooked, served with lamb sauce of course ************** Draft of Pork, this comes in ready

5. Cheap and Tasty
cut strips, a great alternative for Spare Ribs, they need to be thoroughly cooked under a hot grill
turning occasionally, then add barbecue sauce - I use my own mixture of barbecue sauce, by mixing
Worcester Sauce and tomato soup ( finger licking good) **************
Potato cakes Once again use Instant Mash for quickness, use a medium mixing bowl, just add
enough boiled water to cover, you can add egg yolk - also add a little flour mix well - then turn the
whole lot onto a floured working space. Keep rolling it and flattening until it looks like pastry, then
use pastry cutters - place the cut shaped cakes onto a hot griddle or they can be fried if you prefer
Serve piping hot -enjoy ******************* Fisherman's Pie
You may know it by another name, no matter it tastes the same.
You will need some raw uncooked fish and mash potato (instant for quickness) and grated cheese
Place the fish in a oven proof dish, and top it with the potato then the cheese, place it in hot oven
until fish is cooked and cheese is brown Serve and enjoy right away *********************
Another favourite - is Beef stew, although you could replace the beef with other meat or even
vegetables
To make a proper stew you need a mixture of meat and vegetables, chopped small this will reduce
cooking time, add a some stock or use cubes for quickness put all ingredients Place all in to a
suitable cooking pot or slow cooker, or oven cook slowly for several hours - serve piping hot
************** Homemade Pizza
This is a quick version, buy readymade bases grate whatever cheese you prefer add other things if
you want examples: cooked bacon sliced – mushrooms – tomatoes
Take the base and thinly spread it with margarine add tomato ketchup or relish if preferred – then
add all the toppings and place in a hot oven or double grill until chees has melted Serve immediately
enjoy **********************
Bacon & Beans on Toast (Teatime Snack)
Simply empty a can of baked beans into a saucepan to heat Cook the bacon, last of all pop slices of
bread in toaster, butter when done Add bacon & beans - eat right away
**************************** Children’s favourite
Dippy egg – for this you need to boil one egg for about 2 minutes, so it’s still runny while you wait
toast a slice of bread and cut into soldiers (thin strips which can be dripped into egg Teatime Snack
Pilchards on toast, tins of pilchards are still cheap to buy, Method: take out the fish and remove the
bone, by splitting them in two, mash them all up and spread on hot buttered toast, place under a grill
until hot, eat & enjoy You could use any tinned fish such as sardines, but these wont go so far being
a smaller fish. ****************** Banana sandwich.
Just sliced bananas and put them onto buttered bread ******************
Toasted sandwich
You can include a verity of fillings, but a favourite ones is grated cheese, you can use a special grill
toaster but you need to place the buttered side facing upwards, or you ca just make as a normal
sandwich and then place under a normal grill turning it over occasionally to make "French toast"
**************** Bacon Butte Just a sandwich with cooked bacon on it, but you could add grated
cheese and ketchup if you like. **************** Puddings Bananas and Custard , simple cut
Banana and add readymade custard Sugary pudding, buy readymade Yorkshire pudding, heat them
up and add sugar Pancakes these when heated can have sugar & lemon juice or Maple Syrup added
***************** Left Over Food

This maybe something that's over looked these days, but it will save you money.
1st Bubble & Squeak, which is left over potato and cabbage, but you could also add any other left
over veg. Mix it all together, it's meant to be cooked in a frying pan, but it does tend to get stuck,
unless it's a really good none stick pan, alternatively you could cook it in the microwave.
2nd: Potato cakes ... see further above
3rd Left over Sunday Lamb, which you can cut up into small pieces, add gravy, heat up in a dish
with potatoes on top, serve as Cottage pie or Sheppard’s pie (whatever you want to call it)
4th You could also use any left over meat to make curry, if you like making your own.
5th Left over Bread, which can be used to make Bread & Butter Pudding or Bread Pudding, while
these sound the same, but there is a difference, the 1st one is a hot soft buttery pudding, served with
custard, the second is left to go hard, and more like a cake
5th Left over cake (home made or shop bought) Can be used as pudding, just by adding cold custard
then heating in a microwave for a few seconds, Caution keep a eye to this as it can still burn if left
too long. 6th Scones For these you will need self raising flour, sugar and left over slightly stale milk,
unless you are making cheese ones then the milk can be sour. Mix the flour & sugar or cheese add
milk, make into dough, cut to shape & cook until brown, butter when cool.
Fizzy Drinks Most kids love fizzy drinks that are until the drink loses its fizz. Here is sneaky way of
using the flat left over drink.
First buy a New fizzy drink, preferably the same flavour, into a empty glass pour just a small portion
of the flattened drink - The top it up with the New Fizzy one, with any luck you will be able to use
up all or most of the flat drink you would otherwise throw away saving you a little money
Don't share this Secret with the Kids
