INGREDIENTS
1 pkt mince
i carton of pasata or jar cook in sauce
squeeze of garlic puree if you have it
METHOD
 get pot out of cupboard
 put on to hob and turn heat to maximum for 2 mins
 Sqeezze two big squirts of garlic puree into a pan
 stir round for 30 seconds and add mince
 break down with wooden spoon and stir till brown about 3 to 4 mins

********You can add other veg at this stage 
 now add in pasata or jar of sauce
 if using pasata you may need to add some water if jar you wont
 it should be liquidly
 you than turn down heat to middle heat and bubble to reduce liquid
 this will take about 30 mins keep an eye on it stirring every now and again you may even want to turn heat down lower near the end
 you can cook this earlier in the day then reheat in microwave for 3 - 4 mins

quesadilla




Cheesy Feast



spread filling on on top
Place all your ingredients on top of a flat-bread we used good old tomato sauce for this one with chillli cheese and pepperoni but you ca use just about anything ham and cheese would be nice or again left over chilli or some cooked chicken the cheese brings it all together and we know how much you like cheese
pop another flat bread on top and cook in the oven for 10 mins or so till all melty you van also do in a frying pan turning over half way through  


cut into quarters and enjoy 

BAKED POTATO


This may be one of the most important posts in your early student life potatoes are cheap and can be cooked in the microwave very quickly my HANDY HINT for these is to make sure you stab them and always turn over when cooking the time will depend on your microwave but start with 2 mins each side and continue till cooked to tell this you need to make sure a knife goes in easily

now you have a cooked potato what to fill it with ?



  • Beans and cheese heat the beans in a pot or in a covered micro dish add to potato then top with cheese
  • left over chilli or bolignaise as above heat in a pot or micro dish 
  • Curry you can use a jar and some cooked chicken to start with heat as above
  • smoked salmon if its your birthday :)
the pictures above at the moment are not mine I will change this as there is a distinct lack of parsley!!!!!!

Here is a cheesy one I cooked for you with out the tomato  of course

Cheesy Eggy Dog Bread

Well Stewie keeping on the theme of doing recipes you might actually do rather than ones I want you to do
this one goes back many years we watched a children's cooking show and they called it eggy dog bread as they cut it in the shape of a dog kennel we wont bother with that, though feel free to cut into pretty shape


EGG
BREAD
CHEESE
OIL





















  • put frying pan on to heat with a little oil
  • Break egg into a bowl then whisk with a fork
  • add bread to mix and dip in both sides till bread absorbs the mix
  • now place bread in hot pan make sure pan its hot works better
  • cook both bits of bread 
  • then add cheese slice and put other slice of bread on top and cook for a min to melt cheese
  • if its a Saturday a parsley garnish is required :)
