Pork chops or steaks
Tin of mandarins, drained - reserve juice
Rice
Chicken stock or water
Thyme
Salt

Place rice in bottom of casserole. Spread half the tin of mandarins on top. Place pork on top and cover with rest of mandarins. Sprinkle herbs on top along with thyme. Carefully add sufficient stock or water and mandarin juice, ensuring the salt and thyme are washed down. Cover and bake in moderately hot over (180 deg C?) for about 45 minutes or until rice is cooked. Remove pork and stir mandarins through the rice.

Sorry I can't be more specific about temperature and quantities. I went to the "Looks 'Bout Right School of Cookery".

This is our no-name recipe for can't be bothered days ( very frequent)

Pasta (or rice)
Tub of Philly or Boursin type cheese ( one with herbs is nice)
Onion or spring onion
Anything thing else you have around

Lightly fry the onion but don't let it brown, add garlic if you like it, dollop the tub of philly in and keep the heat low til it melts, you can thin the mixture down with a bit of milk to get it how you like it and pour over your pasta. So quick and tasty. Feeds 2 adults and 1 child in our house.
You can add all sorts of other things, eg mushrooms, leftover chicken, diced or bacon, peas, peppers, courgettes, spinach to be fancy, serve with garlic bread. This ingredient list is getting longer and longer....

OOooh! Goodie!

Quick Spanish Beef -

250g beef (or more depending on family size!)
1 tin tomato soup
1/2 jar tomato puree
1 cup rice

(Adding pantry items salt/pepper/garlic to taste; you can serve with cheese on top if you want it to taste more pasta-ey!)

Brown the beef.

Put in casserole or baking dish
Pour in tin of tomato soup and puree and stir
Using the soup tin, throw in 1 tin of water
Pour in a "tin" of rice (I personally use the tin as a)best results, and b)saves on dishes too!)

Add salt, pepper and/or garlic to taste... Is even good with a pinch of paprika, whatever you've got going!

Bake at 200C for 45mins-1hour.

This goes a LOOOOOOOOONG way. And tastes scrummy.

Is it condensed soup that you use or ordinary? :-)

Hi, this is a recipe from my childhood. I now make it with all Tesco value products, pasta, tinned tomatoes and strong cheese.

A hearty meal for two.

200 grs of pasta - I love spaghetti but short or shaped pasta is great.
1 tin chopped tomatoes
100 grs of grated cheese - more or less according to taste or availability.

I buy a big block of value strong cheese, grate it and freeze it in 100gr lots.

You can either cook this in the oven 200c 20 minutes, or brown under the grill.

Boil the pasta, heat the tomatoes and then layer with the cheese leaving a good sprinkle for the top. Oven cook or grill until golden. Yummy!

Egg and Chips - costs pence

Value potatoes cut into wedges or chunky 'chip' shapes. Boil for 5 minutes, drain, put back in the pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Shake the pan thoroughly and chuck the potatoes into a baking tin. Cook on high (220c) for 15 minutes. If you like spicy, sprinkle with spicy powder, of you like garlic, add crushed or chopped garlic with the oil.

Fry, poach or scramble eggs - even using free range and organic it is cheap.

tin value baked beans

Yummy comfort food - and not unhealthy!


Remember: A penny saved is a penny earned:rotfl:

Cuban Rice

1 cup of rice per person
1 can tomato
garlic, salt, olive oil
1 egg per person

Boil the rice and rinse. With the help of a large cup, mould the rice into large "flans", one per person. If you only have small cups, try putting together two or three, kids love that.
Fry the eggs and pour each onto one of the big rice lumps.
Cover with tomato sauce. Serve.
