The Bachelor 'How To' Thread

Kilo of mince for $5, packet of taco seasoning for 1.50, Coles dollar bread, cheap processed cheese, and a sandwich press. Food for days. Get a couple lettuces and tomatoes and your set.

That doesn't sound too bad, actually. I do a pretty mean black bean and lentil burrito filling that makes heaps and is great reheated with or without tortillas too.

Still trying to sell my Mum on batch cooking stuff, freezing it, and driving it over once a week. It's only a two hour drive. She's so lazy! :sarcasm::lol:

Tinned beans, tinned diced tomato, and an onion. Makes a great side, or chop up some chicken through it.Cheap and the chicken option is good for about 3 meals.

 

[afinalsin666]

Kilo of mince
An onion
A cup of rice
5 cups water
A couple handfuls of stripped cabbage
Pack of chicken noodle soup
Soy sauce
Curry powder

Brown the mince and onion, chuck in chicken noodle soup, some curry powder, and soy sauce until it tastes good. Then add the rice, cabbage, and water, and simmer for half an hour. Bam, Nan's chop suey.

The recipe scales well, and will freeze pretty good.

Best advice honestly is to get a slow cooker. Tons of recipes online, and it makes bulk so it's easy to spread one cook around.

Or store bags with your ingredients in a bag in the freezer, then you wake up, take a bag out of the freezer and empty straight into the cooker on low, go to class, then come home to food, with the tenderest of tender meat.

I would do this except o am too lazy to organize it.

 

[Misanthrope]

Oh man, maybe I should consider getting a slow cooker.

I haven't had chop suey in forever, and your recipe made me want it.

I'm bumping this to implore my fellow FFBers to share their bachelor cooking tips. I'm gonna need 'em.

you'd be better off cooking a married man instead.. their meat has a wagyu marble score of at least 9...

You can taste their sadness and shattered dreams, though.

Grab a brush and put a little make-up

I thought you'd lost weight?

Here's an idea. Make beer.

Wouldn't be much more than 100 bucks to get started, with a big pot and a couple fermenters and sanitizer, probably cheaper on Gumtree, and a smash (single malt and single hop) recipe isn't too pricey, around 25 bucks for a 19 litre batch. Get a batch a week going, and by the end of the month you'll be rolling in beer.

I'm hoping to get into that once I move into my own place. Won't be possible while using on campus accommodation, sadly.

Makes sense. Rip mis, crossing back into the land of shit beer

We had a home brew set up in the on campu accommodation in Rockhampton in the early 90's

Good times, good time

Not in a long time. I have crossed into the promised Land.

Welcome fine sir.

I am currently on number 5 of this for the evening:






no regrets

Really, my housemate had a home brew kit set up on campus at Wollongong.

It'll be the land of whatever is on special, I reckon. Hopefully the site continues to come to the party with occasional cash injections so I can splurge.

Hmm... I'll have to look into this.

*Jasmine Rice serving (preferably microwavable from Coles).
*Thai style noodles (also from Coles)
*Laksa cuppa soup (yep - Coles).

Basically, heat the Jasmine rice up in the Microwave, then mash it into a bed-of-rice on a deep-dish plate or bowl.
Add boiling water to the noodles. Drain the water when ready, then put the noodles on the rice.
Add boiling water to the Laksa cuppa soul, then pour the contents on the rice and noodles.

Bang... for under $10 you've got yourself a filling Thai meal.

Nice and easy!
