I'd love your recipe for 20 min "proper" stew?!

Hi

Not sure I'd call it a 'cheap' meal though - stew tins are at least 2/3 £ and other tins not 'cheap' either.   Maybe I'm 'cheap' but I'd say thats pricey for a camping meal.  Spag Bol with mince, chicken curry etc are all gonna work out cheaper - must say I've done it once and kids thought I'd brought cat food!! till it heated up and they tasted it and loved it - just wouldn't call it a cheap meal - there are lots cheaper.

Just bought 2 tins of stewed steak from Nettos to take with us next week, £1.49 each, will buy own brand new potatoes, peas and carrots for a combined cost of about £1 and a tin of oxtail soup was 39p in Nettos, so total cost around £4.40 for a family of 4, don't think that's too bad really. I reckon pasta bol costs us about the same, about £3 for the mince, a jar of pasta sauce and a bag of pasta.  I also like to do risotto, especially if you can get that wok rice - use mince, onions, mushrooms, peas, peppers and rice just add a stock cube crumbled up.
