Here's my plan for next week.

Monday - chicken & ham pie, mashed potatoes, peas/beans
Tuesday - chicken & ham cheesy pasta
Wednesday - pork chops, chips/mash, beans
Thursday - chunky beef chilli
Friday - beans on toast
Saturday - chicken pasta
Sunday - gammon, potatoes, peas & carrots

I just need a hand with my pie, as it's going to be home made what sauce should go in it? Any ideas?

We ended up eating out a couple of times last week as DH was off and we were out a lot, so the menu went a little bit off plan.
This week's plan is -
S - Burgers with salad
S - Grilled chicken with new potatoes and salad (out at a gig)
M - Gammon and veg fried rice (out at theatre)
T - Turkey balti with rice and chapattis
W - Lasagne
T - [STRIKE]Turkey balti with rice and chapattis[/STRIKE] Just went to make this and not got enough tomatoes to make two lots, so used most of the same stuff and made a Shepherd's Pie base instead. Will serve with polenta, and swap Friday's polenta for roast potatoes.
F - Beef casserole with polenta
S - Pizza

DH is away from next Sunday, so my plan runs until then. I've got everything in that I need, so should be a cheap week

Depends if you want to go 100% homemade. Soup is great, but if using leftover meat I like to make a Rou and use stock to make it into a sauce.

If the meat is fresh I coat the meat in flour and simmer on the hob in stock for an hour (I think, it's been a while), when you turn off the heat and leave it thickens up on cooling.

Nowadays I use leftover stew/casseroles to fill my pies because it's just easier

Im bored of having the same stuff!! Someone inspire me
Today is roast chicken dinner with a defrosted bone in chicken breast.
I've to lots of mince in the freezer sausages and chicken peices. Anything different I can do?
My meal plans always change as mostly all my meat is frozen anyway so I can chop and change

Were having mince 3 different ways this week,
Burgers by grating some ginger, onion, carrot, garlic and any crust of bread that needs used added to a 500g pkt of mince with a touch of turmeric. That makes us 8 large burgers. I freeze 4 raw but already shaped as a quick meal for another time.

Chilli, by browning off the mince and throwing away all of the fat that comes out. Add it to the slow cooker with 2 tins of chopped tomatoes, a large pinch of herbs and a large pinch of chilli flakes and 2 beef stock cubes. I then add a large handful of red lentils, 2-3 grated carrots, then diced peppers and onions and a few cloves of garlic and some mushrooms. Add a tin of beans, we prefer normal beans in our chilli not kidney beans near the end of the cooking. Again I get 4 large portions out of this and 4 smaller ones to top jacket potatoes.

Meatballs. Grate stale bread, onion and ginger and add a pinch of herbs and salt and black pepper to a 500g pkt of mince. I add a beaten egg and then form in to 16 small balls and shallow fry them until all the fat comes out, discard the fat then add a tin or jar of passatta and any veg that you want to use up. This week I have some peppers, mushrooms and cabbage. I'll throw it all in and stir whilst I make some spaghetti. We like a handful of cheese on the top to melt at the end

20 meals from 1.5kg of mince for 2 adults and 2 hungry teens I don't think is too bad :j
