Quick and Easy WEEKEND Meals with Aldi UK

I believe that weekends are for enjoying time together. When there are only two precious days a week to have quality time together as a family, I like to have quick and easy meals that don't make too much of an intrusion on our day. 

With that in mind I have shared two of my 'go to' meals.

All ingredients are from Aldi, which means they're affordable, yet very tasty to feed a family of 4. 

Firstly, I have made a quick and easy 'Stuffed Pepper Chilli Con Carne'. I've listed everything you need below.

Super Easy Stuffed Pepper Chilli Con Carne

Ingredients

• 250G Ashfield 5% Lean Beef Mince
• Fiesta Mild Chilli Cooking Sauce
• 4 Red Peppers
• Mushrooms
• Red onion 
• Champion Sweet Potato Wedges
• Cheese
• Onion & Garlic Dip

Method

Oven 200 degrees.

Put the peppers in the oven whole, with the tops on, for half an hour or until they are starting to brown. After ten mins put the sweet potatoe wedges in the oven for twenty mins.

Then in a pan, put the chopped mushrooms and onion and cook for five mins. 

Add in the beef mince and cook till brown. Put in the cooking sauce and cook for a further ten minutes. Let it simmer.

Once the peppers are ready, slice off the top, cut out the seeds.

The add in your Chilli Con Carne, sprinkle with cheese, and add some onion and garlic dip on the side, and there you have it.

Next up are homemade pizzas. They take five minutes to prepare and 8 minutes to cook. If you would like to make them too, I've listed all you need below. 

Easy Peasy Pitta Pizza

Ingredients

• Sunnyhills White Pitta Breads (pk of 6)
• Cucina Tomato Puree
• 1 Red Onion
• 3 Mushrooms
• Sweetcorn
• Olives
• Grated Cheese 




Wild Rocket (to serve)

Method

Oven 180 degrees. 

Squeeze out two desert spoonful's of tomato puree onto the pitta, spread evenly.

Cut up the mushrooms, olives & onion, sprinkle on top. Add the sweetcorn and cheese. 

Put in the oven for 8 minutes. 

Once cooked sprinkle over some wild rocket.

And that's it, the most easy pizza for a busy weekend.

Thanks for reading and let me know if you try out any of these ideas yourself.
