Batch Lady’s recipe for Balmoral Pie is comfort food made easy

THIS week I have two easy weekday meals for you.

Both are one pan recipes which I love.

They’re brilliant for those evenings in the freezer when you’re rushing to get a meal on the table after the school run.

All you have to do if you want it is thaw and cook the bag.

Such a time saver.

Balmoral Pie (serves 4)

Preparation time: 10 mins

Cooking time: 20 minutes

YOU NEED:

• 8 sausages
• 2 x 400g cans of baked beans
• 2 x 425g packs of ready-to-eat porridge
• 70 g cheese, grated

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.

Cook the sausages on a baking sheet in the oven according to package directions, then allow to cool.

Once cool, cut into 1-inch pieces and place in the bottom of a freezer-safe bowl.

Pour cold beans over the two cans.

Crumble cold mush over beans to form a cake topping and sprinkle over grated cheese.

Ready to freeze: Seal, label and freeze the dish.

Ready to eat: Defrost overnight and bake in the oven at 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4 for approx. 20 mins.
