While we lived in England we were introduced to a very simple yet strangely wonderful, satisfying meal....The Jacket Potato.
All it really is a an over sized baked potato with yummy fillings which can vary depending on how much you have in your fridge or pantry. Fantastic for a family on a budget, but as you may have guessed by some of the other meals, they will never feel like they are being fed on a budget!
1 Large Potato per person or 1/2 for little guys and girls
Ingredients
Large Potato washed and poked with a fork, and wrapped in aluminum foil
Bag of mixed salad
Shredded Cheese ( we like cheddar )
Pat of butter
Bacon- try turkey bacon if you don't eat pork!
Mushrooms
Onions
Baked Beans
Sour Cream
Sea Salt
Black pepper
Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar
Prepare
* Pre Heat your oven to 350 degrees
* Put Potatoes that are covered in foil in for about 1.5 hours
* Fry your bacon, place on a paper towel and set aside
* Slice the onion and mushrooms, place in a pan on medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and piece of butter, salt and pepper and sautee until soft, about 10 minutes
* Place mushrooms in a bowl with foil on top to keep them warm
* Heat your beans
* Put your salad on the plate you will have the potato on
* Put cheese, sour cream, bacon crumbled, beans into bowls and let people dress their own potato.
* Cut potato criss cross, add a bit of butter if desired and dress!!
* Add olive oil and vinegar to your salad with a bit of pepper
ALSO TRY
Lunch meat cut up, ham, turkey etc
Tuna fish salad ( mixed with Mayo)
A dab of ricotta
Sliced chives

Have fun! You will be shocked at how wonderfully yummy and filling these potatoes are!

Serving sizes and this sight.....
As many of you have come to realize, I am usually making huge amounts of food and alot of times for more than just my family. However, I would be horrified to think that someone who was living alone, or with only a couple people in their home would feel discouraged about this..
Simply use division for most of these recipes if they are too big. With the exception of baking, which requires a fair amount of science, these recipes can be adjusted and modified with ease! And if you feel stuck, either leave me a comment or email me and I will try to respond to you as soon as I can.
Thanks fellow foodies, hope you eat something yummy today and enjoy the fact that you didn't spend lots of money at a high end restaurant!
Enjoy! I love to hear from you all!
