In Australia, ABC News Australia named five affordable dishes for a large family
In Australia, ABC News Australia published a selection of five affordable dishes that can feed a large family or provide leftovers for the next day. The author of the article noted that during busy weeks she has to feed up to eight people, so planning and preparing food in advance is necessary.
Dishes for freezing
The selection included a pasta and sausage bake. The author used regular beef sausages instead of Lebanese ones. According to her, the dish fed eight people and there was still one serving left; the bake can also be frozen.
Another option is lentil Bolognese ragù by Hetty Lui McKinnon. It requires affordable pantry ingredients, and lentils are a source of protein. The author noted that the meat-free version appealed to the children, and a large batch of the ragù can be frozen.

How to make portions larger
The author supplemented Elizabeth Hewson’s chicken stew with a few extra potatoes and leftover mushrooms so that the dish would make more portions. According to Hewson’s description, the recipe is intended to create the feeling of a traditional homemade stew in less time.
Beef shepherd’s pie can be supplemented with lentils and vegetables left over from other dishes. Depending on the size of the family, part of the pie can be frozen or served the following evening after reheating.
The author called pesto chicken and gnocchi baked in one dish the simplest option in the selection. She prepared the dish in advance, using 10 minutes of her lunch break, and also added almost 700 grams of chicken and more cherry tomatoes.
