Leftovers

If your fridge is anything like mine, you always have leftovers a bit of this, a bit of that.  Whatever leftovers you have in the fridge USE THEM up, DO NOT THROW ANY FOOD OUT, now that makes me mad!!!!
Of course it personal taste, in my fridge today I had 2 pork sausages, 1/2 a smoked sausage, 1 red onion,1/2 a yellow pepper, chunk of cheddar cheese 4 mushrooms,1/2 a can of baked beans and some homemade tomato soup (approx100ml);
Chopped up the onion, mushroom and pepper, to a large frying pan, added a couple of good glugs of garlic infused oil (store cupboard ingredient), cooked off the veg cut up the pork sausage,added to the veg cooked until brown, then added the smoked sausage,and added one of my faviourite ingredients, SMOKED PAPRIKA, FAB! FAB!FAB! gives a great flavour to any dish and I mean any dish, once the sausages are cooking nicely I added the baked beans and the tomato soup, ( I also had some red wine sitting in the cupboard so added a wee glug, nice), simmer gently for 10 minutes.
Whilst this is cooking gently, cook some pasta ( pasta a staple store cupboard ingredient) follow packet intstructions once cooked, drain, add to saucey mix, stir through, grate the chunk of cheese over the top, bang under the grill, cook until cheese is bubbling and golden, then EAT

Living on a Budget
