Frugal Holiday Countdown Pasta Sauce

Counting down to holidays means frugal time in the T family 


Mr T was popping off to play cricket against the police I think he is trying to renaact the ashes , this week has seen the buy of new cricket pants ( alas it did not come with the chap who modelled the cricket pants ~ SHAME) also so leg thingy oooh yes pads. I fed my husband an earlier prepared curry and onion Bhajis . Meanwhile earlier I had fried some mince making sure I got rid of any fat.



So I made a one pot spaghetti sauce 


Ingredients

1 pack of mince already cooked.

1 tin of chopped tomatoes

Optional herbs , garlic etc.

A splash of water

A good dollop of Heinz sweet chili ketchup

Chopped red onion



Method

Just mix all the ingredients together and pt in to a cooking pot with a lid and cook for around 30 - 40 minutes  on 180c


Check every so often

Towards the end of cooking remove the lid.

Also boil enough pasta for 4 people


Squeeze a little more ketchup into the spate mix just before mixing in the cooked pasta.



And there you have a frugal holiday rundown of our freezer.

  3. This is my kind of recipe. I call it 'lob it in and hope'. I'm always reading that when you blog a recipe it should be all accurate and measured, so it's nice to find someone else who blogs recipes the same way I do!
