Question

what is an easy, cheap, impressive dish, I can teach my kids to cook?

Answer 1

Lasagna.

Answer 2

Steak Sandwich

1 large strip, round, or shell sirloin steak, weighing between 12 ounces and 1 pound

1/2 t. coarsely ground black pepper

Salt to taste

2-3 T. oil

2 T. chopped onion

4 oz. crimini mushrooms, cleaned and chopped

1/2 t. thyme

1 loaf French or Italian bread, or 1 Vienna loaf

3-4 T. prepared mustard

Trim any excess fat from the steak. Sprinkle both sides with pepper and salt, then brush with a tablespoon of the oil. Heat a cast-iron or nonstick pan and sear the steak about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan. Cook the onion for 2 minutes in the remaining oil, then add the chopped mushrooms, sprinkling them with the thyme and a little salt. Cook, stirring, until they have softened. If the mixture dries out, add a tablespoon or so of water.

Cut a large piece of bread about 1 inch longer than the steak. (If you're using a Vienna loaf, you may not need to cut it at all.) Slice it lengthwise through the middle, leaving an uncut edge as a hinge. Spread both cut sides of the bread liberally with mustard. Now place the steak on the bottom half and scatter the mushroom mixture on top. Fold the top half of the bread down. Wrap the sandwich in two layers of plastic wrap. Take a long piece of string and tie the sandwich up tightly as if it were a parcel, knotting the string in several places. Put the sandwich on a plate and place another plate on top of it. Now weight it down with either cans of food or a bowl filled with water. Leave it for 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator or other cold place. When you rescue it from the weights, it will be firm and flat. For serving, unwrap it and slice it on the diagonal so you have several strips, each about 3/4 to 1 inch wide. Arrange these on a platter with a bowl of relish or chutney to accompany them

Answer 3

I have a 10 year old that can cook this "Impossible Pie" It is like a crust less quiche. All the ingredients are mixed together in a bowl, poured into a baking dish and baked. It can be served with vegies or chips and salad. It can even be eaten cold.
Recipe is as follows:

INGREDIENTS:
4 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup bacon pieces, 1/2 cup grated tasty cheese, 1 medium onion, diced, 1 cup pastry mix, salt & pepper.

METHOD:
Beat the eggs and milk together then add the bacon, cheese, onion, salt and pepper. Stir in the pastry mix with a fork making sure there are no lumps. Pour into a lightly greased quiche or pie dish. Bake in a pre-heated, 180oC, oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden.

(Try adding diced tomato or parsley for added flavour.)

ENJOY!!!!!!!

It has to be Chilli con carne.
It was the first dish I learned to cook, I still make it and EVERYONE enjoys it.

500g lean beef mince
2 medium onions
2 Cloves garlic - peeled and crushed
400g tinned chopped tomatoes
400g tinned kidney beans in chilli sauce
Dollop of ketchup
Chillis (optional)
Chilli powder (optional - depends how much spice you like)

Using a big saucepan
Brown the mince, draining any extra fat
Add onions and garlic - fry till lightly golden
Add kidney beans
Add tinned tomatoes
Add ketchup
Add chillis and powder if you wish.
Simmer on a low heat for about 30mins.
However, the slower and longer you cook it the better it tastes.

Serve with bolied rice or chips or pitta bread - anything you want

PS. A spoonful of soured cream tastes amazing with chilli.

Good luck and enjoy. x
