Things like beans on toast are cheap and easy but are there any that you yourself consider cheap and nasty but is a guilty pleasure?
An example for me would be lasagna and chips.
I make a decent lasagna myself and there some nice ones available in the Finest/Extra special ranges but for this meal it requires a cheapo one. One that costs less than £1. I think ALDI does one for 89p, possibly even 49p.
It doesn't contain much meat at all and is mostly soggy pasta and a lot of thin sauce.
I nuke that and serve it with smartprice frying chips and a takeaway salad (shredded iceberg, sliced onions and pickled red cabbage out of a jar).
Anything else you would consider cheap & nasty as it's using cheap / value ingredients but makes a nice meal?
