Storecupboard cooking: Cheese and bean pasties
We’re having one of those Old Mother Hubbard moments here in the Happy House. As ever, my palatial stocks of dry ingredients are in tip top condition, but we have completely run out of fresh vegetables, meat – anything that would be the basis of a meal. However, from the odds and sods that remain, I managed to put us a quick (but not particularly healthy) lunch. Roll on 3pm so I can go and see what bargains I can pick up from Mr T’s reduced section!!
Cheese and Bean Pasties with Mash
(serves 2)
Ingredients
Pastry:
110g flour
40g butter
cold water to bind, approximately 30ml
pinch of salt
Filling:
Half a tin of baked beans
50g cheese (I used Smoked Cheddar and Wensleydale)
Freshly milled black pepper
Mash:
4 medium potatoes
Pinch of salt
Black pepper, butter and milk or cream to taste!
Method


Stick the whole lot on a plate and enjoy! Nom!
Haha this post made me laugh!
I shall bookmark it for when I have a 'I really can't be bothered to leave the house and shop' day!!
Enjoy – they are lovely! Made me tempted to make them myself!
I am really excited about this I never thought of doing it and one of the main things I dislike about pasties is the gravy this is a much better idea than the regular kind I want to make them for my tea today 🙂
