What about a huge shepherds pie or spag bol

How about a chocolate pear pudding or a banoffee dessert - crush ginger nuts and make a base with a little melted butter, make up butterscotch angel delight, slice bananas and put them over the base then put angel delight on top if you have cream you put that on top too or could use dream topping

How about chilli burritos? There is a great recipe on here for tortilla wraps that are really simple and use basic storecupboard ingredients http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.html?p=13240567&postcount=3
