    Pizza
    Vegetable chilli and rice
    Sausage casserole
    Mince beef and onion pie
    Tuna pasta

  • Having a thick moment.....is that cheese with mash spuds or does it have a pastry top? Used to have that at school and loved it. How do you do it?

    Hi PP

    I boil pots & onions until soft, mash with butter and cheese, put in dish sprinkle more cheese on top along with some sliced tomatoes and pop in oven for 20 mins. Then serve with sausages & baked beans. This is DS fave meal, he would eat it every day if I let him. :rolleyes:

    Didn't know you could do it with pastry :confused: Do you just add pastry to the top of how I do it?
