I've got a one pot pasta that uses generic tomato sauce, broth from a cube, UHT milk, cheap mince, and frozen veg or whatever veg is in season
The inexpensive sausages and franks are also good, you can even cut leftovers into coins and put them in a casserole
Ah cool.
I think best per volume bottles might be from woolworths for pasta sauce but theyβre sort of I donβt know, tasteless?
Been doing the aldi sauces which I do like and are cheapish, pasta is of a good consistency there too which cook really nicely aldente so thatβs a super bonus for me.
Sometimes I mix it up between franks and sausages and cut them up into it. Tuna also works if you like it, mince at Coles is down to 9 dollars a kg for the 1kg pack so you can buy one and split it up for multiple meals at the moment.
Peas are sort of a staple for me but green beans frozen can be gotten cheaply as well which works too.
Thank god I love pasta
Tuna mixed with mashed potato and baked with cheese on top is awesome. Steamed veg and dead horse to serve
