Hello Dear Reader,
Here's a recipe you just have to add to your favourites! This is perfect for a mid-week supper and I think children would love this...............I know mine did and even though they've grown and flown, they still do.
Serves 4
6 Pork Sausages - (£3 for 18 at my butchers 65% pork) £1. cut each sausage into three.
4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced - 28p
1 tin of chopped tomatoes 34p Aldi
1 tin of baked beans 32p Aldi
3 carrots, peeled and finely diced - 15p Aldi
3 cloves of garlic - 3p
15ml of olive oil - 4p
1 large onion, finely diced - 22p Aldi
Sprinkle of mixed herbs and paprika, squirt of 'brown sauce' 5p
1/4 bag of mixed frozen veg and whole green beans - 22p Aldi
1 stock cube and half litre of boiling water. 3p Aldi
Total cost - £2.68 - 67p per portion.
heat the oven to 200 - cook the cut up sausages - don't over cook.
Boil potatoes until just cooked, don't over cook them as they will go in the oven.
Fry the onions, garlic and carrots.
Add the stock and simmer for 10 minutes until the carrots are soft.
Add the tomatoes, baked beans and season to taste.
I also chucked into some spinach that I had for lunch salads that was beginning to get limp.
Add the veggies and sauce mix to the sausages.
Layer the potatoes on top, drizzle with some oil or dot with butter. I sprinkled it with garlic salt.
Bake for 40 minutes and towards the end of the cooking, steam the veggies.
Admittedly, it's more veggies than sausage but it goes a long way and it's totally delicious! You can add more sausages as per your budget or even add (I think they're are tasteless but you take your pick) quorn sausages.
There's plenty left for us to take to work in our lunch boxes tomorrow. I think this would go a long way and it would even be great with salad and some crusty bread. I'm all for feeding a family as many veggies as possible and this is a great way to do it!
Over to you Dear Reader, who else has a 'hotpot' recipe to share. It's basically a stew or casserole of some type with layered potatoes on top.
