Even cheaper - and tastier - if you bulk out the mince with grated carrot while cooking.

Butter bean pies are a great sub for cottage pie

A hot tip for the rice noodles: soak them in cold water if you're going to be stirring them through the sauce in a hot pan. They hold their shape and reheat better that way<br><br>I would also use tvp (it's a soy based crumble that you find dry in the health food section) instead of most beans as a vege mince option

I have joined your smart kitchen system because in the past I've been hopeless with meal planning and prep. I have really benefited from watching and applying how you do things. Thanks ,much appreciated. I always thought I had to follow a recipe perfectly ,but from watching you have started substituting ingredients I don't have and doing that reverse shopping as live 25km from nearest supermarket. 🎉 Example wanted to make chilli Con carne but didn't have kidney beans, subs black beans from cupboard turned out great. I think I've realised you don't have to be perfect to get a good result. It's only taken 46 years of cooking to discover this by watching your videos. 😂
