Finish by adding the butter and giving it a good stir to melt into the risotto, now add some chopped parsley and serve. A beef chilli is one of my favourite meals to have!

This is a really easy one to make. Brown the mince all over then add the chopped onion and stock cube and fry for a few minutes. Next you tip in the chopped tomatoes, fill the tin up with water halfway and add that too. Now add your spices, kidney beans, and chilli and give it a good stir, then simmer for 30 minutes.

This makes a really decent amount which often leaves leftovers for the next day too. A classic midweek meal! You could make the meatballs yourself with some beef mince but I like to cut corners in the week and just buy them pre made.

The method of making this sauce is very similar to spaghetti bolognese, apart from you will take a little longer browning the outside of the meatballs to get them cooking through to the middle.

I always really enjoy making these turkey goujons. Plus this is a super cheap family dinner! I make my bread crumbs by just whizzing the slices of bread up in a food processor for two minutes or so.

I then put the bread crumbs in a shallow bowl, as well as beat the eggs into another shallow bowl and put the plain flour into a third shallow bowl. I cut the turkey breast steaks into strips and then dip each one into the plain flour, ensuring they are coated all over.

I then add them to the egg mixture, again ensuring they are coated all over, before then putting them in the breadcrumbs. The goujons are then ready to be roasted in an oven at C for 25 to 35 minutes. I tend to heat a little vegetable oil on a baking tray before adding the goujons to that and roasting.

I cook fluffy, thick pancakes, rather than the super thin ones. My recipe for pancake s is here. This recipe for chicken pie is based on a Jamie Oliver recipe that always works great and tastes amazing. Then add the mushrooms sliced and cook for a few more minutes. Mix the stock cube with ml water and then tip this into the mix along with the creme fraiche and English mustard.

Cook for 10 minutes. Next tip the chicken mixture into a pie dish before topping with the puff pastry I always buy pre-rolled for convenience.

Brush the top of the puff pastry with a tiny bit of milk. Roast in the over at C for 20 minutes, or when the puff pastry is golden on top. This easy mini toad in the hole recipe is always a hit with the kids. You need to cook the sausages before adding them to the batter.

To make the batter simply mix the flour, eggs and milk together with ml with water. Then just roast in the oven for around 20 to 25 minutes, or until the batter has turned crisp and golden. My recipe for mini toad in the hole can be found here.

I start by mixing the sauce, ketchup, soy and garlic crushed together in a bowl. I then drizzle this all over the ribs in a baking tray. Pop this in the oven at C and cook for around an hour until the ribs are cooked through and starting to brown on the edges.

Serve with corn on the cob. These also taste great when cooked on the BBQ, but just cook in the oven for 30 minutes before finishing on the BBQ. Grab all of the ingredients for the sauce chilli, honey, spring onions, soy, garlic and whizz up in a food processor, then drizzle on the chicken legs and roast in an oven at C for 35 to 40 minutes.

Cook the rice with the tin of mixed beans I sometimes add a stock cube to this to add a little more flavour and serve. A scotch bonnet is a seriously hot chilli so either deseed it before cooking or choose a milder chilli.

All you need to do is beat the eggs into a shallow bowl. Next dip the slices of bread into the egg until they are coated on both sides. Heat the butter in a frying pan and then gently fry each slice of bread for roughly 2 minutes each side. A simple but really tasty way to enjoy fish!

This one is a little more expensive due to the salmon however everything else is pretty low cost so keeps it to around £1. Put the salmon fillets onto some tin foil on a baking tray. Add the sweet chilli sauce on top and then fold the tin foil so it covers the salmon.

Cook in an oven at C for 15 minutes until cooked through. Meanwhile add boiling water to the stock cube and cover the cous cous with your stock.

Cover with cling film and leave to absorb the stock for five minutes. Rub the chicken all over with a little olive oil and the dried mixed herbs and then roast according to cooking instructions on the pack.

This is a tasty weekend meal. You can make the enchilada sauce from scratch yourself but I prefer to grab a jar of sauce to save time. Warm tortillas in a microwave for 40 seconds, then fill each individual tortilla with the chicken plus a handful of grated cheese.

Place each tortilla in a row in a baking tray with high sides. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce on top and the rest of the cheese. Cook your baked potatoes in the oven at full heat. Meanwhile fry the bacon lardons in a pan in a little oil until crisp. Then cut open and remove the fluffy potato from the skins and mix together with the bacon and cheese and butter.

Place back into the potato skins and serve! I add pretty much anything we have — including things like leftover cooked roast potatoes. These are really great when fried and added to an omelette.

I also love to add peppers, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, onion, and courgette. Start by frying the chorizo cut into chunks and then add the chicken thighs chopped into chunks and cook together for around five minutes. Add the paprika and stir then tip in the chicken stock and add the cherry tomatoes sliced in half and red pepper sliced.

Finally add the rice and cook for 12 to 15 minutes. Add extra water if it runs a little dry before the rice is cooked. This quick puff pastry pizza recipe is a great way of using up leftover vegetables in the fridge.

You can chuck basically anything on there — courgettes, peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, asparagus, etc. All you need to do is roll the puff pastry out on a baking tray lined with baking paper and spread some passata on it leave a 1cm gap around the edge for the crust.

Then you load it up with toppings and the cheese. BBC Good Food also has a recipe here. You can also add meat or just keep it vegetarian. To make this simply fry a tortilla in a pan with a little oil and then add your toppings and cook for a few minutes.

Fold the tortilla over to create a sandwich and remove from the pan. Slice into wedges and service with a little lettuce. Check out this Quesadilla recipe from Simply Recipes. We love fajitas in our house! Burgers are the perfect Saturday night treat! Canned tuna becomes an easy meal-prep filling for lunch wraps and doubles as melts for a quick dinner.

When shopping, keep an eye out for deals and stock up when stuff goes on sale. Pound for pound, plant-based proteins like lentils and canned beans are a steal compared to animal proteins.

Plus, research suggests that eating more plants is good for our health. Add in a few meatless options throughout the week for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Assigning theme-night meals based on different meal types—like Slow-Cooker Sunday, Meatless Monday or Stir-Fry Friday—or based on pantry staples like brown rice and whole-grain pasta think Rice Bowl Thursday or Pasta Wednesday is a good way to stick to your budget and also reduce meal-planning decision fatigue.

Adding in a leftover night or two! is also a good idea. Pack up tonight's leftovers for tomorrow's lunch, or transform whatever is left into another meal for the family. Make loaded sweet potatoes with leftover chili, a frittata to use up any remaining cooked spaghetti noodles, or burritos with the last of a roasted chicken.

This week, I'm keeping things simple with no-cook breakfast options , versatile meal-prep lunches and kid-friendly dinners that come together in about 30 minutes or less. To minimize food waste and save on groceries, I'll use many of the same ingredients for multiple meals.

Planning simple, quick breakfasts I can serve in minutes is key to less-chaotic mornings in our house. I'll meal-prep a big batch of overnight oats to be eaten on demand during the week or packed up to-go.

Or, I'll toast a stack of whole-wheat bread and let everyone choose their toppings. On the Menu. Budget Ingredients. Rolled oats, whole-wheat bread, bananas, frozen berries. Creamy Blueberry-Pecan Overnight Oatmeal. Everything Bagel Avocado Toast.

Peanut Butter-Banana Cinnamon Toast. We keep lunch extra-easy in my house with snack-style lunches for the kids and salads or rice bowls for the adults.

Meal-prepping a few ingredients in advance minimizes cooking during the week and allows everyone to help assemble their own lunch. I like to have a couple of protein options, a batch of cooked grains, and some washed lettuce and cut vegetables on hand.

Eggs, canned black beans, brown rice, leftover vegetables from dinner. Egg Salad Lettuce Wraps. I rely heavily on a well-planned dinner menu because this is where I spend the bulk of my grocery budget plus it ensures I'm not scrambling to find something to serve come 6 p.

I'll plan on three easy recipes plus a night of repurposing the leftovers. Because our evening schedule can be unpredictable, I'll pick up ingredients for a pantry meal that won't go to waste if I end up not cooking one night.

Baked Eggs in Tomato Sauce with Kale. Sweet Potatoes with Warm Black Bean Salad. Easy Chicken Fried Rice. American Goulash. I like to plan snacks and treats based on one or two staples or on ingredients that are already part of the meal plan.

Smoothies are the perfect way to use up yogurt, bananas and frozen berries, and my kids love them as after-school snacks. Lately we've been crazy about salted roasted chickpeas, the best one-ingredient snack you'll ever make. And none of us can turn down a square of dark chocolate with a schmear of peanut butter after dinner.

Apples or any leftover fruit , peanut butter, canned chickpeas. Apple-Peanut Butter Smoothie. Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas. A number of our meals this week incorporate a few pantry staples that I often have on hand. Here's what I'll rely on this week. Note: I did not include these items in my budget, but included approximate cost per serving for reference.

This veggie curry is a lovely weeknight supper. Onion, garlic, rice, and tins all last for ages. The tinned spinach and paste pots keep costs down for a single meal. But if you have the cash and might repeat the recipe, or cook other curries, A jar of balti curry paste for £1.

Get the recipe: Lentil and spinach balti. This hearty pork and pepper goulash recipe is flavoured with paprika and packed with veggies such as red onion, tin tomatoes, and roasted red pepper. Chop it in half, place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and bake for 40 minutes.

The skin will be blackened and ready to peel off. Get the recipe: Pork goulash. You may already have some of the ingredients, such as butter, flour, and milk, to make this delicious sausage and cheese bake. Prep in just 15 minutes.

We used normal pork sausages instead of spicy ones to keep the recipe on budget. Slice the mozzarella ball thinly so you get lovely gooey layers of soft white cheese in the dish.

Get the recipe: Spicy sausage and cheese pasta bake. Serves: 6 Cost per person: 82p Total cost: £4. This makes a lovely, vegetarian-friendly Sunday lunch. With the homemade pie case, it does not feel like a budget dish at all. You can use any cream cheese with garlic and herbs, and we swapped the crème fraîche for sour cream as it works out a little cheaper.

Butter is one of our store cupboard staple ingredients, but you do need a large portion for this recipe - about half a pack. This recipe is great for sharing and as you've got a bit of budget left over you could easily serve it with a salad for a summer meal.

Leftovers also make the perfect lunch option the next day. Get the recipe: Courgette, garlic, and herb oaty crust quiche. One of our favourite cheap family meals that use readymade pastry. This tart is quite big and serves six people. Get the recipe: Tomato tart. Frozen white fish fillets are often much more affordable than fresh fish, and will last a lot longer in your freezer.

Value range frozen peas are another of my freezer favourites, and if you get some for the macaroni cheese recipe above, you could substitute some of the rest of the bag for the mushy peas.

You will need enough sunflower oil to deep fry your fish and chips. You can actually re-use oil around 10 times before you need to replace it so keep this in mind when cooking. Get the recipe: Beer battered fish and triple cooked chips. Storecupboard essentials : For these recipes, we have assumed you have basic store cupboard ingredients already including milk, butter, cooking oil, flour, dried herbs, and spices like dried chillies, salt, and pepper, mustard powder, vinegar, ketchup, except where large amounts are used.

Full product price : For all budgeted ingredients, we have used the price of a full pack, even if less is required for the recipe. This is not included in the £1 per portion budget. We have budgeted for garlic, fresh herbs, and garnishes like Parmesan.

Where a recipe uses a large amount of milk we have included the cost of a pint of milk in the budget. If you're wondering which supermarket is the cheapest , then this for us varied widely depending on the recipes. Aldi often proved cheapest for large quantities, though we found it difficult to purchase smaller portions - for example, items of veg, like onions, are not sold singly.

This pushed up overall costs to some degree. Asda had the cheapest sausages and their Smart Price and Farm Stores range often represented the cheapest options. Tesco and Sainsbury's performed well for fresh vegetables; while Sainsbury's also has a good range of affordable cheeses like mozzarella and feta.

We spoke to food blogger Caroline Hartley from The Happy Food Kitchen to find out her top tips and tricks when it comes to cooking on a budget. From batch cooking to supermarket-own brands, here's everything you need to know about cooking cheap family meals If you're using two shelves to cook dinner, bake a tray of flapjacks or roast some veg for tomorrow at the same time," says food blogger Caroline Hartley from The Happy Food Kitchen.

Equally, over-ripe fruit can still be used. Make pancakes or freeze the banana before blending it with cocoa powder and a splash of milk for a delicious healthy chocolate ice cream.

Or blend with berries for a cold, thick smoothie. This is a quick and easy soup! Or leftover mashed potato can be used as the base for another dish. It's perfect with a tin of tuna or some ready-cooked mackerel to make fish cakes.

We all use our freezer to house a packet of frozen peas and a tub of ice cream, but there are more inventive money-saving uses for it. Make brownies, flapjacks, cookies, and rice krispie cakes and portion when cool before wrapping and freezing.

Cheese, jam and peanut butter, ham or chicken sandwiches can all be pre-made on buttered bread and frozen. Wrap and label them before freezing then they can be placed in a lunchbox the night before.

The cheese version can be toasted straight from the freezer too. Beans and lentils are far cheaper and can be used to bulk up meals. So if you're using mince, add a tin of lentils to the mix. By switching 12 big brand items for a supermarket's own-label goods, you could save nearly £15 on each shop — and more than £ a year, according to research by The Sun newspaper.

So imagine how much you'll save by ditching major brands altogether. This month, Heinz Baked Beans are £1. Asda's own brand of ketchup, meanwhile, is £1 for g while a smaller bottle of Heinz ketchup is a whopping £3.

Those are quite some savings. There are plenty of other ways to save money on food including reducing food waste , and using up those leftovers. We've also got an array of clever tips, tricks and food hacks created with thrifty parents in mind.
