Monday pie, leftover beef #CreditCrunchMunch

Leftovers:  Monday Pie




Last Sunday we had a small topside of beef joint that was reduced to £3.50p. On Monday we enjoyed the leftovers sliced up and combined with leftover YS mushrooms and store cupboard basics of tinned potatoes and baked beans with gravy and a cheese topping. It was delicious, nutritious and filling. I served it with carrots and cabbage alongside.

Obviously, you can tailor this to suit whatever you have left after another meal. Left over roast potatoes are excellent but we scoffed the lot on Sunday.



Leftover beef = £0.70p
Tinned New potatoes (Aldi 15p) = £0.05p
Tinned baked beans £0.08p
Onion gravy granules £0.02p
Mushrooms £0.07
Cheddar cheese slice grated (reduced) £0.03p

Total cost per portion (there were 3 portions as one portion of the filling mix was frozen) = £0.95p


It's so simple to make. Merely slice the beef (or whatever leftover meat you have), combine it with the mushrooms, baked beans and some onion gravy made up with just a scant amount of water to add flavour. Mix together then slice the potatoes and arrange over the top of the mixture in an oven proof dish. Finely grate cheese over the top and bake at 200C for around 25 minutes until the cheese has melted and the top is golden.
