I just had to tell someone about my one pot basic meal tonight which has made more than 3 meals.

I took odds and sods veg from fridge that needed using up - onion, leek, half a tin of sweet corn, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes and some frozen peas and cooked them in a large pan with oil and butter until cooked. Then I added a heaped tablespoon of flour and stirred into the veg to coat it all and then added milk to make veg in white sauce - all ingredients left overs and the looking a bit sads that I would have tossed out so cost neg.

Once the the white sauce was cooked I divided it up

1. One portion I have added grated cheese to and will use it to top baked potatoes (I baked a large bag of potatoes today as I had the oven on to roast a chicken)

2. Another portion I put in an oven dish with some of the roast chicken that I cooked today and will top it with either mash or pastry for a dinner for OH tomorrow

3. Another portion I thickened with bread crumbs to make little vegetable balls that I will cook in the oven for a veggie dinner - like mini burgers (I freeze all crusts off loaves and make crumbs with them)

4. Finally I made hot stock with marigold powder and stirred it into the veg in sauce to make a vegetable chowder. Some is in the fridge and some is in the freezer.

I am so thrilled that I didnt waste any veg and that I have made not just left overs but tasty filling meals.

:T well done to you

Soups and stews and mince and tatties. Or my mother's version of Stovies made with sausages, taters and onions. Not really Sunday roast-standard but delicious on a cold day

I put any veg and tinned things like kidney beans in, with whatever I fancy flavouring it with, put fresh mash potato on the top. Cook for about 30 mins on gas mark 7 and you have a bean hot pot. You can add meat or vegetarian say sausages to it for an extra bit of oomph Good luck with the move!

As this has fallen from the front of OS, I'll add it to the existing one pot recipe thread, so that you can get more ideas

my favorite 'one pot' dish is...one chicken portion per person(be it thighs/drumsticks/breast...new potatoes...red pepper...onions cut in wedges...garlic cloves...frozen green beans..cherry toms, seasoning

put all ingredients into an ovenproof 'lasagna style' dish(i pre boil the spuds as the whole 'new' ones take ages to cook)..leave the garlic cloves in there skins( i use a full bulbs worth )pour over a good glug of olive oil and thats it ...roast on high for about 30 mins or until everything is slightly crispy....
i have used this many times to take to various incapacitated people...my SIL actually requested it after the birth of each of her children:D
i have used it for dinner parties by using chicken breasts and stuffing them with 'boursin' and wrapping each breast in bacon/pancetta...
i have added a tin of chopped toms at the end if i want a 'saucier' dish...
i also use this dish to use up the bits and bobs of veg from the garden when there is not enough for a full boiling..adding courgette or carrot thinnings, runner beans, even beetroot and parsnip thinnings....I take it to the table in it's dish then everyone can dive in and i serve it with 'onion mayo'(finely chopped onion mixed into mayo with a dash of horseradish) or tzatziki ...

I love to slowly cook a whole chicken in water with vegetables & herbs (usually celery & carrot, with fennel seeds). I do mine on a low heat in the oven, though it would obviously work in a slow cooker. I like it because you get lovely moist meat, a few soft vegetables & stock at the same time (e.g. don't have to boil bones to get the stock).
