One thing I make sometimes that is very cheap is pasta bake. Cooked up penne or similar pasta, pasta bake sauce, grated cheese and cut up cooked hotdogs, then bake it in the oven for 45 mins. Lovely, and makes about 5 meals. It would probably work out to about 70p per serving. Check out the old style forum, lots of recipes on there.

This makes a delicious cheap meal. Fry an onion with a crushed garlic clove. Add a pack of chopped back bacon and some sliced mushrooms. When the bacon is cooked add a jar of passata (34p from Asda), tomato puree, basil, and other herbs to taste. To make the sauce a bit more special wine/chopped salami can be added but it is not essential to do this. Simmer. In the meantime cook a large pan of pasta. Mix the sauce with the pasta and serve hot with a green salad/garlic bread/grated cheese.
