Your easy tasty one pot meal favourite.

Sausage traybake went down very well when my DBil came. I had planned to do chicken pasta bake, but about an hour before he arrived he told me he could not stand cooked cheese. Glad I hadn't started preparing the chicken pasta. Fortunately I had all the stuff in for the tray bake, so a quick change of menu! Sausages, new potatoes, onions, peppers, carrots, apples and mushrooms. All thrown in a roasting tin with wine or cider. Yummy!

Bacon and Potato Bake.

Not quick to cook, but easy and tasty.

Thinly sliced raw potatoes. 3 or 4 largeish ones.
Chopped up bacon, 4 rashers shortback.
Cheese, grated. about 5 ounces
Chopped onion.
Oxo cube, dissolved, about 1 pint.

Layer potatoes, cheese, onion, bacon in a decent sized casserole dish.
Finish with a layer of potatoes, put bits of fattier bacon on top, I put all lean bits in the layers.
Pour stock over.
Cover.

Bake about 1 hour at 170 degrees, remove lid, cook another 20-30 minutes till bubbling and crispy on top.

Serve with crusty bread, green salad, seasonal veg, whatever.

Trial and error, adjust ingredients to suit really. DH and I would eat this amount! but depends on how hungry you are.

I wonder what the OP (Ohmother) did in the end?

I have a quick turn round this evening so I have just thrown s load of stuff into the slow cooker: onions, carrots, sausages, mushrooms and a packet mix of sauce. It will be ready when I get home.

DoraMarr, can my partner and I please come to you for supper tonight? ... we will bring the red wine ??

Dora, I tried your beef surprise. Wow, it was good!

I do lamb with pearl barley, onion and carrots and stock ,takes about 40 minutes if the lamb is cubed quite small and its great with a chunk of crusty bread

Sorry, that’s not really quick! A quick dish is any white fish put on oiled tinfoil or grease proof paper, topped with spring onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, parsley and a dash of olive oil. Fold up paper to make parcels, cook for 15 mins in fairly hot oven, serve with potatoes, greens beans, rice or salad and bread. You can make a quick tomato sauce to go with it by frying chopped onion, adding a tin of tomatoes, some herbs and the juice of 1/2 a lemon and cooking until reduced.

Oh Dora, that sounds brilliant and sort of healthy.

Casserole beef, in chunks, pack of casserole mix ( chopped onions, carrots, leeks, swede) pack of baby potatoes, tin of chopped tomatoes, flour, red wine, tomato paste, Italian herb mix, about 1/3 pint beef stock.
Fry onions in olive oil, remove from pan, add more oil, fry vegetables briefly, fry beef, add I tablespoon flour, mix and fry briefly, add beef stock slowly, add I glass wine, drink I glass, add tin of tomatoes, I tblspn tomato paste, good shake of dried herbs, potatoes. Put in oven on hot first, then when bubbling turn down heat and let it cook for about 2 1/2 hours. You can add a tin of borlotti beans, fry some pancetta at the beginning and add, mushrooms, pasta, peppers etc. To make it go further. Also good with chicken instead of beef. Add more herbs, salt pepper to taste. Nice with chopped parsley on top just before serving. Serve with bread, breadsticks, ciabatta or focaccia. And red wine.

I like Ricotta Salad. Fresh and Healthy
greenann.com/recipe/tomato-ricotta-salad/
Ingredients:

2 oz Ricotta cheese
0,5 oz Arugula
0,5 oz Basil
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Balsamic glaze
1 pinch Sea salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
Yammy!))

I'm cooking for one at the moment so last night had sag aloo with a fried egg on top.

I also love those chicken thigh and vegetable traybakes mentioned above as you can use any left over veg to make soup.

Just remember.bered another sausage one whi h I think is a Nigel Slater.

It isnt quick but is delicious.

Put halved sausages and some sage leaves in olive oil in the oven for about 15 mins. Meanwhile slice new potatoes, lengthways,. Add to roasting dish and toss together. Top with stock so e everything is well covered. After 20 minutes toss again and push everything under the stock if possible.

After 20 minutes turn up the heat to reduce the stock and brown the top. Probably another 20 minutes.

I serve with broccoli in a cheese and tomato sauce.

We night have that tonight!

Chicken thighs ( skin off), a stew pack from the supermarket , tin of tomatoes.
Sainsbury do a great jar of butter beans in a tasty oil....add at the end.
In the slow cooker.
Call it Catalan Chicken or something fancy.

I agree with tray bakes and thighs v breast WWM2 - I do a sage & onion chicken all marinaded in a freezer bag over night. Add a quartered lemon, tbsp honey & seasoning and give to the odd squish every time you pass before popping in hot oven for an hour. Serve with anything!

I think oven tray bakes are one of easiest and satisfying meals.

Yes like Kitty I use chicken thighs (much nicer than dry old breast)

And often do the fish one

Really the sky is the limit and so easy!!

The tray goes into the dishwasher as well so no hard work.

What’s not to like?

Hairy Dieters, Old Fashioned Chicken Stew.

Like Londongran I love Choritzo stew but stick potatoes in mine.

Should have added that, of course, the kidneys and bacon should be chopped!

1 chopped onion
500 gms minced beef
1 pigs kidney or 2 lambs kidneys
200gm streaky bacon
1 dstp flour
250ml beef stock
generous splash of Worcester sauce
400g tin of baked beans

Using a large wok, sweat the onion, add mince, kidney and bacon, stir fry till browned.
Stir in the flour, and add the stock a little at a time (amount is approximate, as I usually just bung stuff in till it feels right ). You don't want it too runny!
Add Worcester sauce and stir in baked beans
Turn all into an ovenproof casserole dish, cover and cook at 350f/180c/Gas Mark 4 for about 45-60 minutes.

We usually serve this with a slice of toast torn up and scattered over - no need for other carbs like potatoes, rice, pasta etc.

Chicken thighs skin off, peppers, mushrooms,chorizo, onion,
tinned tomatoes, garlic, herbs in a casserole dish with lid served with garlic bread to mop up , delish

I add cherry to.atorz to both if I have some.

ann, do you mean the chicken one? No liquid apart from the I've oil.

The sausage one , if I'm making the sausage one with new potatoes no liquid and I parboil cubed old potatoes. Still no fluid apart from the olive oil. It's essentially a roast.

On that fish dish sounds delicious.
That is a definite one to try.
I would never have thought of cooking avocado with fish although of course it goes well with prawns cold.

A portion of cod or hake per person . Put in oven proof dish. Add large bag of prawns. Some basil leaves torn . One large avocado sliced. Pour on a carton of cream and grate 5 ozs of cheese over the top. Bake at 180 degrees for 15-20 mins until bubbling. It’s filling on it’s own or you can add new potatoes, salad or garlic/crusty bread separately. It’s a Jamie recipe and our family love it
