Beef & Pork Recipes

Chicken Chorizo and Beans

A tip of the hat to Nigella Lawson... this is great served with spring greens or cabbage.

SAF's Savory Meat Pie

A classic British steak pie
Prep Time:approx 20 mins Cook Time: 2 1/2 hours altogether
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

Gooey Beef Burritos

A US recipe that can be converted easily. A bit lighter and more flavorful than the usual fajita or beef burrito. If you can't find mozzarella (we've found it as Tescos), use a very mild cheddar. It's nice just served with a salad, espcially if you put avocado in it!

Cottage Pie

Traditional British favorite meat and potato dish, with vegetarian version. Serves 4-6. Prep time: 30 min, cook time: 45-90 minutes depending on oven temp. Difficulty: med. Experiment with oven times before needing this on a deadline! Lovely with broccoli and peas.

Ham and Cabbage Bake

A US recipe, but easily converted.

Spicy Low-Carb Chili

UK recipe. I make this ALL THE TIME in the winter! It is fantastic. It uses kidney beans which are too high carb for some people's diets, but this recipe is just as good without the beans - I promise! I serve this with little crackers for non-low carbers.

Simple Basic Meatballs

These meatballs are a fantastic base for any number of dishes, and they require almost no time to make.
