And with the cost of living crisis impacting households across the country, it is just harder to make meals that the whole family will love, without spending a fortune. Luckily, these family meals are cheap, simple, and best of all, delicious.

Air Fryer Sweet Chilli Chicken Melt
Simplicity always wins, and this is barely a recipe but tastes incredible. A quick rustle up that will help you at lunchtime and the taste of sticky sweet chilli covered chicken with melted cheese is a perfect marriage.
Slow Cooker Carrot and Parsnip Soup
This is such a cheap soup and a great way to use up all your carrots and parsnips, so not food waste too! Just add all the ingredients to the slow cooker, blitz after 8 hours and enjoy.
Air Fryer Roasted Whole Cauliflower with Tahini & Garlic
A perfect veggie centrepiece if you have people round for dinner who don’t eat meat and you don’t want to spend a fortune. Vegetables are much cheaper than meat, so save some money and help the planet. A win win.
Slow Cooker Burger Pasta
The slow cooker cheeseburger pasta is a comforting meal, which is great for when the kids want takeaway burgers but you want to save money. Apologies to all the Italians for pairing this with pasta but I promise it is a masterpiece – and don’t miss out on the gherkins!
Air Fryer Pesto & Cheese Roti
With minimal ingredients, the air fryer pesto & mozzarella roti (or flatbread) is a fun twist on pizza for the kids and makes for a really convenient lunch too. Just top with cheese, pesto and a tablespoon of Italian seasoning (once again, sorry to the Italians).
