I like doing this one because it sorts out lunches for work, it’s simple, low cost and helps with my diet.
431 Calories – 49g carbs, 9g fat, 35g protein (per portion)
I bought the ingredients in tesco and cooked this today. It works out at £1.82 per portion
Mince beef (5%) – £3.49
Kidney beans – £0.33
Microwave Rice – £1.80 (2x£0.90)
Red pepper – £0.59
Brown onion – £0.21
Taco seasoning – £0.85
The only other thing you will need is a little Fry Light for the pan before you brown off the mince.
Once the mince is browned off, add the peppers and onions and cook until soft, then add the taco seasoning and stir through. Lastly add the kidney beans.
Slap in some bowls or containers with the rice and Bob’s your uncle
If you want to reduce the cost further you could cook your own rice rather than using microwave rice. You can also use 20% mince, but this will push the calories up a bit

This is one of my poverty meals for sure. I also add a can of diced tomatoes with the juice for some different texture.
