ok folks I am VERY very skint this week :-( so I need ideas for cheap meals for my son and I. So far I am thinking: peppers stuffed with rice chicken wings with spices and cucumber and tomato slices home made pizza's and home made kebabs (pork, red onions and peppers) but thats only 4 nights dinners, help!!
If you like corned beef, this is yum
Put some rice on to cook, and add some turmeric if you have it for colour.
Meanwhile, lightly fry an onion and 1-2 cloves garlic, till clear. Add a tin of corned beef, cubed, and let it warm through, till it breaks down. I find it easier to use a wok for this.
When rice is cooked, strain and add to mixture in wok. Mix well & serve.
If you can spend a few pence on Indian spices (such as turmeric above), they can be used to make cheap but otherwise boring ingredients a bit more interesting. I suppose the same goes for other herbs and spices.
1 Pound of Hamburger � (I think you guys call it Minced Beef) Browned & Drained
1 Pack Taco Seasoning
1 Can Rotel Tomatoes (has jalapeno peppers in it)
1 Can Dark Red Kidney Beans
1 Can Corn � Whole Kernel
1 Can of Water
Mix together & cook until it looks done.
After you put it in your bowl � taste it, it is great that way and less fattening � then put a big blob of sour cream in it and mix it up � then taste it again.
Garnish with black olives, cheese, onions, chives � whatever makes you happy.
I usually double the recipe and freeze some - so all I have to do is microwave it the next time.
