Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[Lesley]

This has been mentioned in here before and there are many variations - please feel free to add your own version........

 

A good, cheap standby.....and my favourite comfort food. I can make this in 10 mins if I'm really desperate

 

Potatoes, peeled and cut into small pieces (really small if in a hurry!)

Butter

Cheese

Onion

Baked Beans

 

While the potatoes are boiling, grate the cheese, very finely chop a small piece of onion and put some baked beans in the bottom of an ovenproof dish.

 

Warm the beans in the microwave - or warm them first in a saucepan.

 

Mash the potatoes with some of the butter and the onion. Add cheese to taste.

 

Top with grated cheese and put under the grill until bubbly and golden brown.

 

Sometimes I make it with tomatoes instead of beans.

thanks Lesley, defo going to try this, sounds delish!

Oooooooo - I do smoething similar,but I havent made it for ages, so thanks for the reminder

 

I fry onion, add it to buttery mash with heaps of cheese, pit it in an oven dish,top with thinly sliced tomatoes & more cheese (you can never have too much cheese!) & bake until all golden & bubbly.

 

You can omit the cheese, add more onion & corned beef for a corned beef hash type thing too - a very cheap yummy meal.

 

Wondeful stuff - comfort food at it very best

[Lesley]

I think I should be using your recipe Sarah! - we still have so may tomatoes to use.......

 

Tonights dinner sorted I think

Mum used to do a similar version without the baked beans. A layer of onions, a layer of grated cheese topped with mashed potatoes. Glorious comfort food but as LSH doesn't like onions ( ), we've not had this for years ! We do have the corned beef hash recipe my Grandma used to make though - a layer of corned beef, a layer of baked beans, topped with mashed potato and grated cheese. Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!

This was the first thing my DS made in food tech last year yr7, but he ended up making it at home because he was off school with a rotten cold. His version had mustard powder in the mash, no onion and no beans. It was nice but would have been even nicer with onions which he loves and would have done his cold good and some beans.

 

We make corned beef and onion with mash on top in the winter my MIL's recipe it is really yummy and a store cupboard meal, it would be nice with baked beans in too must try that

 

I feel for you Kate my OH loves onions as we all do a life without onions nooooo My DS will eat them raw and eats pickled ones whole, a favourite after school snack, he'll have to find a girlfriend who likes them too

[Mrs Frugal]

My dear old Grandad used to eat a raw onion like you would an apple every day and he claimed he'd never had a cold in his life - no germs would go anywhere near him .

I've always made mine in a pastry case. Terribly unhealthy but always goes down well.

I love cheese potato, Mum used to make it as Saturday lunch! Yummy!!

[Lewis]

I have a twist

Just before you add the cheese on top, get some cheesy doritos (other brands are available ) and crush those up on top. Then add the cheese and grill it.

It makes it a bit more crunch, and more cheesey

[Cinnamon]

We had Cheese & Potato pie with tomatoes on top for supper last night.

No leftovers, & it REALLY fills you up

[Guest]

I think I might do that today! Thanks Cinnamon. I have so many potatoes at the moment.

[Egluntyne]

Ditto. The chaps have demanded venison sausages with it though.

 

 

*Update*.....They loved it.

[Guest]

I cooked a swede with the potatoes and mashed it in. Also added a bit of blue cheese and some tomatoes. Served with some sort of green leaves I still had from last week.

 

Absolutely delicious - and fortunately there is some left over!

[Guest]

just making a variation of this for tea, need some comfort food!

 

doing a layer of warmed beans with chopped onion and chopped up corned beef with a layer of cheese, then a layer of creamy mash topped with grated cheese, can't wait!

[Guest]

yummy, yummy!

[Guest]

mmmmmmmmm, this is yummy! Just having seconds

Didn't bother with 2 layers of cheese, just did a layer of cheese on top of the mash. having it with a glass of white zinfandel, it goes very well with it!

 

Will be making this again!

[Lesley]

Is there any left?.....I'll be off up the M6......
