Quick and easy tea tonight, burgers in bread. I buy 800g of mince from Lidl which is £2.49. About 500g makes enough burgers for all of us. Add a couple of finely chopped onions and an egg to bind it all together and fry on a reasonably high temperature. The mince that’s left over will make a second meal later on the week when eeked out with an onion, passata and chopped tomatoes.
So, meal planning.
Monday:burgers in bread. (I did offer beans alongside but no-one wanted them.) Children had corner yogurts for dessert which were on offer at 30p each. Tuesday: sausage, mash and beans or other veg.
Wednesday: fish and chips.
Thursday: home made pizza.
Friday: either spaghetti Bolognese or cottage pie.
Saturday: jacket potatoes (beans, cheese, ham )
Sunday: veg stew.
Fruit bowl is topped up with pears, apples and bananas, must get to grips with the yogurt making instead of buying endless mini tubs of the stuff.
Check out Mrs M for lots more meal suggestions.
Love making our own burgers – usually beef but I am going for turkey ones this week
Ooh, I hadn’t really thought about trying them from other mince. I’m a newly ex vegetarian, so it’s taking me a little while to get to grips with the variety of meat available!
We’re having baked potatoes this week too. All sounds yum

I do love baked potatoes for an easy meal.
