This is tasty and cheap. you could always sub the sausage for lambs liver for a change.presuming you have dried thyme and an oxo and butter in your stock cupboard it works out at about £1-57 a portion.
Set sausage to brown under grill. cut bacon rashers into peace's and fry in half the butter along with the chopped onion for about 5-7 min.
put cooked sausage Into a lasagna type ovenproof dish, spread drained onion and bacon mixture over sausage.
Add sliced leeks to frying pan cook over a medium heat to soften, spoon over sausage, onion/bacon mixture, Sprinkle over the thyme.
Slice potatoes into rounds, arrange overlapping to cover leeks, pour in chicken stock to fill two thirds of dish, dot rest of butter onto potatoes,
place dish on a baking tray and cook in oven at 220 for 45min until potatoes are browned and tender.
.....so what if the spelling aint perfect.....the content is valid !!
Forget the sauces in jars and packets (and the slow cooker. I can cook, but our slow cooker ruined everything I did and soon went to the tip). They are uniformly vile and are full of hideous additives and salt.
The best tip I can give, and I know it's a cliché, but it works, is to get Delia's original Cookery Course book (from 7.33 on Amazon) and follow any recipe you choose to the letter. Yes, she is boring, but her recipes work every time and, after a while, using them familiarises you with the way ingredients go together and how things should look and smell at various stages in the cooking process. You will learn to cook almost by osmosis.
Den is right, buy this book TT. Agreed - Deliah is boring but she taught me how to cook.

What I could do with is a book that teaches me to spell. Where does the H that I have put at the end of Delia come from?
And yes, before some bright spark suggests it I have a dictionary!
Yep, I've got books one, two and three. They are great. Off the top of my head regulars I do from those are Thai Chicken, Salmon Fish Cakes, Pork Satay and Savoury Muffins. I really do recommend Delia TT.

You might be thinking of Delilah (Tom Jones) rather than Delia (Let's Be 'Avin' Ya), already in a somewhat inebriated state by half-time in this infamous plea to Carrow Road fans...
Still has me falling about...

Drain a tin of tuna; put in an oven-proof dish; mix in a tin of condensed mushroom soup and then put mashed potato on top of the tuna/mushroom mix; grate cheese on top and put in the oven until the cheese has melted.
So easy and so tasty! Don't forget the crusty bread
i reck i could live on this it's one of me all time faves, with a bit of soy sauce mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I vote for the slow cooker. Best thing I ever bought. As a working single dad with three boys there is nothing easier than chopping every vegetable I can lay my hands on as they get ready for school. Bung it all in the slow cooker -add diced chicken and switch on. When they arrive home from school the aroma hits them and they devour the lot. However the weird thing is that if you present any vegetables cooked alone, they refuse to eat them!!

Jamie Oliver- is that you!??? Ok Ok- ill try the slow cooker- im not trying to wriggle out- but when cooking for just 2- is the slow cooker option the best- bear in mind i pay my elec on a meter- so 5-6 hours is a lot more too spend than a quick stir fry!_ am i being a bit obnoxious!!? sorry! x xx

Good point. I never thought of the cost - I just couldn't stand the screams of horror whenever I put carrot n swede on a plate for them. I've now found I can even sneak celery and leeks in the slow cooker - they eat the lot!
As a slow cooker, because of its nature, cooks at a much lower temperature, it will not require as much electricity to operate. I noticed earlier that Morrisons do a 3.5L model for £15.

With a name like yours you should be good for a great casserole.

But it would probably be better known as Stewpot, otherwise you might get slow cooked bits of me on your plate..... Not a nice thought, but you'd be able to taste the red wine....

Bugger Delia (yeah...I know, pervs)...what we need is a bit of Nigella! That lady can do great things in a kitchen......
I agree that she makes great soft-core food porn shows for the frustrated suburban middle-aged bloke (err...that'll be me then) but her food is boring and usually rubbish.
Much as I hate to admit it, Jamie Oliver's recipes are usually pretty good. He is irritating as ******, but his food is actually rather fine. His basic curry sauce recipe is one of the best I've ever tasted.
I enjoyed watching some of his tour of the States a year or two back, especially the one with the cowboys in Wyoming IIRC.

I've no idea, but you could have called him an irritating prick and got away with it.
...or Thrush because (joking) he's an irritating c--- ...
