How to make Chicken Crumble feeds 4 for under £3.00!

Good Evening readers.

Hope you are well.I have had such busy weekend and didn't have time to cook a roast dinner and so rustled up the kids favourite Chicken Crumble (nothing like apple crumble i promise!) 
It only takes 10 Min's to make and 15 Min's to cook,so very quick and simple and also filling and low in fat what more can you ask for...


So how do you make it i hear you ask well its very simple just get 
1bag of sliced ready cooked chicken (frozen or fresh) ((you could also use left over chicken from the Sunday dinner))
300ml ready made gravy.(leave to cool right down)
2 packets of stuffing mix made up as instructed and left to cool down too.
1cup of fresh breadcrumbs(blitz up the bread ends)
Added extras can be 1 cup of frozen peas,10button mushrooms or 1cup of sweetcorn (or all of them if you are hungry)





Now mix the chicken to the gravy and add any extras then stir well,

Next up you pour it into a baking dish,
Now add the bread crumbs to the stuffing mix and mix well.
Using your fingers break up the stuffing mix and place over the chicken until all the chicken is covered (don't press down)



now bake it on 180c for 10min's until crispy on top.


Serve with mash or chips and peas and lashings of gravy then enjoy,We had ours in a Yorkshire pudding yummy.


I do hope you give it a try and if you do please let me know what you think of it,
So till then stay lucky.
Love Bella x

Sausage pie for less than £1.50

 Good Evening readers,
                                       My kids love sausage pie but not the shop ones they have to be home made,All of Miss Molly's friends love coming for tea when we have it and it is so easy to make and cheap too.

All you need is a packet of sausages (cheap ones are ok) a packet of stuffing and a packet of either ready made or a dry packet mix. 



All you need.
 Now make up the stuffing as to the packet but add just a little more water so its wet but not runny,
While that is cooling down get on with the pastry as per the instructions (unless using ready made) then pop it in the fridge to "relax"



Leave to cool.


Now take the skins off the sausages and then mix well  with the stuffing (the kids love squishing it up with there hands)

Oh naked sausages,so Molly says.

All squished.
Now grease a pie dish and then roll out the pastry to fit leaving a over hang.




Over hang!

 Now fill with your sausage mix leaving 1cm from the top. 

Don't over fill!





















Next paint milk around the edge then put the lid on.
Christian busy at work.
Then using a fork press all around the edge then trim any that over hang's and then prick randomly over the top.(to let the steam out) Then paint the top with a little egg/milk and pop in the oven 170c for  35/45 mins.

Ready for the oven.
 Leave to cool for 5 min then serve,This pie will feed 4/6 people and cost under £1.50,
It is also nice hot or cold,Try using other flavor's of suffing and sausages too each one creating a whole new tasting pie. 

Cooling down.
Just a small slice.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 So there you go my sausage pie for less than £1.50.I do hope you will try making it,and if you do please come back and let me know what you thought of it.
