Beany Burgers for 15 pence each.


I have set myself a £100 challenge to feed us and the pets for a month. Whilst I'm in the 'zone', I'm stocking my freezer. Here's how I make my 15p beany burgers.

I rehydrate a cup of soya mince, with a pack of Tesco Value stuffing - I use a chicken stock cube in  water. I then add, one tin of sweetcorn, and mix well. Don't over season as the stuffing mix is full of garlic, onions and spice.
 I then wizz a two tins of beans in the processor - take your pick, any beans will do.
 I then grate four carrots and add everything together. I then use a burger ring to shape them, onto greased paper and cook them in a hot oven for half an hour. If you store them, just reheat in the mini-oven or fry in shallow oil.
 We had some for lunch with a green salad.
 I make them huge as we're big eaters.
 The others have been wrapped in foil and frozen along with the veggie chilli. We do love the 'Dragonfly' beany burgers when we're feeling 'flush' but they have now reached £2.11 for two in our local healthfood shop and mine are only 15p each.
