I'd suggest a sausage stew: http://www.channel4.com/4food/recip...gstall/sausage-and-root-vegetable-stew-recipe

I've used this recipe a few times and it's great.

Sausages are quite cheap, but try and get some butcher ones if possible (crap sausages will make a crap stew! If not, most supermarkets usually do a deal for two packs of their finest sausages (so 12 in total) for a fiver. This leaves £3 for the remainder of ingredients, which assuming you buy loose (i.e individual) and not packs should be ok. You can vary the veg too, for example they might not like celeriac by the sounds of it, so use carrots instead.

Serve with mash, bread or dumplings.
 
Thank you very much for the suggestion, and I must sound like a complete knob here, but I do appreciate the effort, but I will not like that at all that so I won't be cooking it.

Sorry, I am a relatively fussy eater and I don't like casseroles or stews or pies.

I really should have added them to the list but because I never ever cook them I didn't think about it...Sorry again.

Any other suggestions?
 
they are a fussy lot by the sound of it..tell them to bugger orf

make meatballs, mix pork and beef mince, tomato sauce with the passata, serve with rice
 
A stew is just ingredients cooked in liquid, then served with it. Sure a rogan josh curry doesn't taste anything like a sausage stew, but then again the sausage stew tastes nothing like an ox-tail stew either.

How about homemade pizzas? Let them make their own. Bag of strong flour, yeast, chopped toms (with your herbs), cheese and toppings (mushrooms, peppers, onions etc).
 
I cooked this on monday:

pretty much meets all the ingredients you have. I personally added two chillis and some chilli sauce to turn it into Cottage Con Carne but you don't have to.

It's not a pie as it's just topped with sliced potatoes. I had it with beans but you could forget the potatoes and just stuff it in your tortilla wraps and tell them to eat it.

I hate cooking but it was pretty simple with little to go wrong....


what am i thinking of....

ofcourse tortilla wrap pizza:
