Cheap but more than cheerful teatime food

[Pauliej]

Bit of Friday night fun.......
What's your go to cheap but cheerful meal?
Any meal but it has to be cheap to make.
I'm coming straight in with Corned Beef hash as that's what we've just had for tea.
Under a fiver and that included a crusty loaf.
Mmmmmmmmm

 

[Norfolkred1]

Corned beef and cheap surely not in the same sentence.

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

A combination including eggs beans and chips as a minimum.
Comfort food.

Toast. With Brown Sauce.

 

[Brian Marwood]

Tin of beans with lots of pepper and several slices of bread and butter.

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

Toast. With Brown Sauce.

As a young kid I was partial to a sauce sandwich. Easy to make and tasty.
However, I was threatened on pain of death, by my parents,never to ask for one when I was at other kid's houses for tea.

 

[TheLodger]

Pasta of any description.

Almost.

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

Pasta with roasted veg.

That said ended up in Penrith spoons tonight and had a very acceptable veggie sausage and mash for 7.50

 

[boroboy6872]

Fish finger sandwich

 

[El Guapo]

beans on cheese on toast with brown sauce

 

[Ebor]

Prawn stir fry
Cheap prawns from Tesco, bit of mixed veg, rice, dash of oyster and soy. An egg
Accompanied by Prawn crackers. Less than a fiver

CB Hash is great but corned beef seems very expensive for what it is, at the moment

 

[italianjob]

Salmon paste on a bit of brown Hovis.

 

[AytonMews]

Agree with a fish finger sarnie!

With tartare sauce if you’re feeling flash

 

[SCG]

Anything with spuds - Jacket Potato with Beans or maybe Tuna

 

[Linny]

Stuffed pasta, mushrooms, peppers, pesto and tinned tuna

Nice and quick too.

 

[the_holgate_roof]

Sausage, egg, chips and beans……followed by rice pudding.

 

[Legz]

Can't beat fish fingers, proper homemade chips and peas

 

[Norfolkred1]

Bubble and squeak on a Monday night with Sunday's leftovers, with a fried egg on top.

 

[Pak_Doo_Ik]

Always fish finger sarnies, although not so cheap nowadays. Had one on Saturday made of the followimg

3 x Aldi Chunky Breaded Fiah Fingers
1 x Batchelors mushy peas (with vinegar, mint sauce and black pepper added whilst cooking)
2 x slices of Village Bakery sliced tiger loaf covered in butter

Finally and somewhat controversially a dash of horseradish and tomato sauce.

I do like to vary it up a bit.

Sometimes I’ll have toast and salad cream instead. Lovely jubbly.
