Answer 2

Make something that can be mostly done in advance so you can spend time with your friends watching the game instead of being trapped in the kitchen.

Try a simple ground beef or turkey bolognese (recipes abound in cookbooks and on the web). It's easy (and forgiving) to make, even for a big crowd, the sauce can be prepared in advance (indeed, it's best prepared a day or two in advance), and the only cooking you'll need to do when it's feeding time is the pasta. Use penne for the pasta -- it's easier to eat around a TV than the traditional tagliatelle (a lasagna is another good substitute and can also be done in advance, only to need heating). Serve with a big salad with Italian dressing.

By the way, if you use turkey, use ground dark (thigh) meat, not white meat, which is utterly insipid.

Recipe details An exciting twist on a classic British dish brought to you by OXO. Serves:4 Preparation time:35 minutes Cooking time:30 minutes Contributor:OXO Ingredients For the pie filling 1 Beef OXO cube 2 medium onions, chopped 500 g family pack ‘extra lean’ minced beef 75 g swede, cut into small cubes 1 large carrot, chopped 1 stick celery, thinly sliced 1 tbsp plain flour 1 tbsp tomato purée 1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp chopped fresh) 1 tsp dried parsley (or 1 tbsp chopped fresh) Freshly ground black pepper For the topping 1 Vegetable OXO cube 4 large potatoes (approx. 900g) cubed 75 g butter 50 g mature cheddar cheese, grated 2-3 tbsp fresh coarse white breadcrumbs To make the Cottage Pie Fry the minced beef together with the onions in a saucepan until the mince becomes crumbly and turns a rich brown colour and the onions have softened. Add the swede, carrot and celery and cook, stirring, for a further minute or two. Crumble in 1 Beef OXO cube, sprinkle in the flour, and add the tomato purée and herbs. Mix well then blend in 250ml hot water. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Partially cover the saucepan and simmer over a very low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The stock will reduce to just the right rich consistency. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain thoroughly and return to the saucepan, add the butter and mash until smooth. Pour the mince into a deep 20cm (8 inch) baking dish and spread the mashed potato evenly all over. Mix together the cheese, 1 crumbled Vegetable OXO cube and the breadcrumbs. Scatter over the potato and bake in a preheated oven at 190C/375F/Gas 5 for about 25 minutes or until the top is crusty and golden brown. If you prefer a Shepherds Pie Replace the onions with 2 sliced leeks, adding at the same time as the vegetables. Omit the water and add a large can of chopped tomatoes. Use minced lamb instead of the beef and replace the Beef OXO cube with a Lamb OXO cube. For a more meaty Shepherd’s Pie, omit the canned chopped tomato and replace with an extra Lamb OXO cube and a total of 300ml (1/2 pt) hot water.
