Good old cowboy pie! Every Brit will know about this absolute banger of a meal. It ain't pretty, it ain't fancy but I love cowboy pie so much, and i'm going to show you how I make mine. What's more, it costs sod all! I shopped at Lidl for my ingredients, bringing the total costs for the amounts used to under £4!

Chuck some frozen peas or salad on the side, and you've got a simple tasty meal for you and the family. A few key secrets to getting cowboy pie right, is firstly you want to brown those sausages all over with no un cooked beige lines going on! It's also crucial those onions get enough time to break down and go nice and sweet. Other than that, this recipe is a doddle to make.

To make my Cowboy pie you will need:

• 8 Cumberland sausages (or use your favourite)

• 2 x 420g cans of baked beans

• 1 diced medium onion

• 2 cloves of garlic sliced

• About 3 tbsp of BBQ sauce

• About 800g of mashed potato (you can also use frozen)

• About 100g of grated Cheddar cheese

• Salt & pepper

• A little oil for frying
