Take off your spurs and head over to the campfire (or stove) to prepare this cowboy bean and potato waffle pie. It’s based around two tins of beans – pinto and kidney – like all the best cowboy meals. You start by frying onions and garlic, adding tomatoes, tomato salsa and paprika, chucking in your beans, before leaving to simmer away. Then add this cowboy stew to an ovenproof dish, top with waffles and cheese, and pop in the oven. It’s the perfect student dinner, whether or not you’ve been taking ‘cowboy studies’, or you’re a city slicker.Looking for more budget recipe ideas? We've got you covered. Time and servings
