I bought a pack of short grain pudding rice from Coop last week it was 79p and that quantity would make a bucket full of Rice pudding! The recipe is on the side of the pack.
Also good old Macaroni Cheese, if you put a blob of mustard in, it makes cheap mild cheese taste like mature.(or a little taste like a lot)
If you tell your guests you are nervous of the evening they will be sympathetic and tell you youre doing great!!0 -
If you have a roasting tin, slice some potatoes into half inch deep rings and boil them for 5 - 10 minutes until 'just' soft. Layer them in the tin and cover them with a thin white sauce and sprinkle cheese on top. These can go into your hot oven for half an hour - and you can make them in advance. They get very brown and crispy on top. They go well with 'saucy' stuff. I have put mincy stuff in the middle of the two layers to make a kind of lasagne with spuds.
Sausage casserole is nice, cut the sausages into bits to make it go further.
The soya mince idea is good. I use one third soya to two thirds meat.0 -
