Meal Plan 13 {One Pot Meals}

Try these five ONE POT MEALS to take the drama out of midweek dinners. Stay balanced, save money and save your sanity!

Hello new Meal Plan! These are all One Pot (or One Tray) meals, really simple dinners for the back to school rush or end of summer feels in September.

For reference, I shopped for this Meal Plan in August 2022 at Aldi and it cost £33.98.

A  couple of notes:

⭐️ If you’d like to receive this in your email box every time they come out, click here.

⭐️ I will be sharing the recipe videos on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok this week.

⭐️ The shopping list usually includes the cheapest version of each item for the weight (ie mince). You can obviously buy higher quality if you prefer. (I often buy lower fat % mince for example as that’s our preference but is slightly more expensive.)

⭐️ Remember to check your cupboards before shopping, in case you already have any of the items on the list.

 Monday:

Cajun Beef and Rice 
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)

£0.90 per portion

⭐️ Use the green peppers in there are some in your mixed bag from the shopping list (save the rest for the sausage pasta on Friday).

Tuesday:

Halloumi Bake
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)

£1.90 per portion

⭐️ I served this with the part bake baguettes for dunking. 

⭐️ The recipe linked above serves 2 people so you will need to double. The ingredients on the shopping list are for double. The recipe says 2 x courgettes, so we would be using 4. I just used one pack of 500g courgettes. This may be 3 or 4 depending on their size but the weight will be about right for the recipe x 2.

⭐️ The recipe also says 1 x 250g of Halloumi, these packs are 225g, so 2 x 225g will be fine, no need to buy another pack.

Wednesday

Honey Mustard Chicken
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)

£0.91 per portion

⭐️ I used the salad potatoes on the shopping list for this as they hold together well.

Thursday

One Pot Sausage Pasta
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)

£1.16 per portion

⭐️ Use whatever colour peppers you have left in your mixed bag.

⭐️ The recipe states 250g of cream cheese, but Aldi packs are 200g. This will be fine, no need to buy extra.

Friday

Italian Cod Traybake
(Click the link above to go to the recipe)

£2.61 per portion

⭐️ This isn’t a cheap meal, but you could reduce the cost significantly by using frozen white fish fillets, basa would work well which you can often find frozen and is really good value.

⭐️ The recipe says 400g of cherry tomatoes, but I used 330g as that’s a pack size from Aldi. It’s more than enough.

⭐️ I used the pack of 4 baking potatoes for this cut into chunks.
