Cheap eats – Sausage Casserole

Leave a comment

It’s hard to find time to cook a proper meal at university, especially if you’re a second or third year with a lot of work on.

You rush in after a long day, try to eat as fast as possible and then it’s straight back out again.

Sometimes it’s easy to think you’ll just have beans on toast or instant noodles, but it isn’t always filling or healthy.

And there’s always a time when you’ll realise that you can’t afford those tasty and easy ready meals in Tesco. Maybe because you spend a little too much in that night club last night…
