Serves 4
1-1.5 hours cooking time + prep

225g Mince meat
1 large onion
Carrots
1 can tomato soup
398g potatoes
1 can mushroom soup

1) Brown and season the mince meat. When done, pour both soups and about half a can of water.
2) In a casserole dish, slice potatoes for the bottom layer. Add a layer of carrots. Add a layer of onions.
3) Pour mince-soup mixture over the vegetables and bake for 1-1.5 hours at 350 degrees.

I've also made this with actual hamburgers broken up and sausage.

The meat/veg mixture will freeze easily.

Ingredients:

Mushrooms

Chicken (breast or portions)

Curry spice mix (one tbsp per serving plus one for the pot)

Cream, wine, milk, yoghurt (any comination of any number)

Cornflour

Rice

Instructions:

Start some water to boil for the rice

Chop the mushroom and place it in a moderate heat with a drop or two of oil of your choice.

Quickly cut the chicken (meat only) into small slivers and add to the mushroom.

Simmer gently (may need to add more oil to coat everything) stirring occasionally to make sure allt he pink bits of the chicken turn white...

..meanwhile put cream and/or white wine and/or yoghurt and some cornflour into a whizzer and whizz it.

When the chicken bits are all white ie sealed (and if they're small they're pretty much cooked already) add at least two tablespoons of any form of ready mixed curry spices (my favourites are Thai and bombay) and stir well.

When the water for the rice is boiling add the rice.

Add the cream mix to the chicken, bring the heat up to boil and then down again to gently simmer.

By the time the rice is done - so is the chicken

You can MAKE this faster than the recipe takes to read

An additional tip from filigree

I use coconut cream, Pataks sell it in boxes of four X 50g sachets. You dilute the sachet with 150ml hot water and use it as the basis of the curry sauce. I used it the other day and threw in half a chicken Oxo and two teaspoons of curry powder - it was rather mild but littlun whinges if I put chilli in it! I think coconut is probably more expensive than yogurt but still cheaper than ready made sauces so I don't mind paying for it. The individual sachets have the advantage of being long life so you only use what you need and they keep in the cupboard for ages.

pork sausages
bacon and cheese
Sauce: 1/2 cup tomato sauce
dash worchester sauce
1/2 teas curry powder
1/2 cup water

I par boil sausages and take skin off them. Split each sausage in half lengthways but don't completely cut. Place cut up strips of bacon and cheese in the slit. Place in casserole dish & pour on sauce. Bake in mod oven 30 mins.

This is usually for 500g sausages but if you have more just increase the sauce ingredients.

This cake is lovely and moist, so if you find normal fruit cake too heavy try this out.

Ingredients:

4oz white caster sugar
2 oz golden caster sugar plus bit extra
6oz butter or marge
3 beaten eggs
6oz SR flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon or mixed spice
6oz raisins or sultanas
2oz ground almonds
2 eating apples, peeled cored and grated

Method:

Cream together the butter and sugar with an electric beater or wooden spoon. Carefully stir in the beaten egg. Slowly sift in the flour, spices and baking powder. Fold in the flour with a metal spoon. Stir in the apple, raisins and almonds.

Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin and pour in the mixture, levelling the top. Sprinkle over a couple of spoonfuls of the extra caster sugar.

Bake in a 160 degree fan oven, 180 degree normal oven or Gas Mark 4. Check after an hour, if it's looking a bit too brown put some foil over it. Bake for a further 15 minutes.

Let it cool in the tin then turn onto a rack. This cake is much easier to slice if you let it cool completely first.

Supposedly this will keep for a week in a tin but we always scoff it before then!

Pasta (soup) bake

Sorry if this one has been done before

Cook Pasta.
Add tin of condensed tomato soup (and a little milk or water to slosh the last dregs out the tin!)
Add cooked meat/ veggie meat - chopped up sausage or little squares from joint etc
Top with breadcrumbs/cheese - depending on whether on diet!
Pop in the oven or grill (if grilling heat the tomato soup before hand!) till hot/melted.

It is nicer than it sounds - first time I thought "soup pasta sauce" I thought EUUGGHHH but now it is a regular favourite.

For a change why not do mushroom soup with some veggies instead. I can't, boyf hates mushrooms

To make the cream

Whipping Cream
4oz (125g) unsalted butter
3 fl oz (75 ml) milk

Pouring Cream
4oz (125g) unsalted butter
4 fl oz (125 ml) milk

Heat the milk until almost boiling. Cut the butter into cubes and add to the milk.
Pour milk and butter into food processor and process for one minute (pref with double-bladed knife). Chill for 24 hours in the fridge and use as required. The whipping cream can then be whipped in the processor.

I made the first recipe yesterday and it turned out fine. I will definitely be making it in future especially if I need cream in a recipe.
