MAKE meaty savings on your grocery bill.

With a few more weeks of chilly winter weather to go, filling dishes made from beef, turkey, pork and chicken are a hearty way to feed the family.

This week at Morrisons you can pick up three healthy meat cuts for just £9, so you can meet your savings targets too.

Here are three great recipes, all taking less than 30 minutes to make.

Cowboy breakfast bowl – £7 in total

(Preparation: 10 minutes. Cooking: 20 minutes, Serves 4)

YOU NEED:

• 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 6 sausages
• 8 eggs
• 3 cloves garlic
• 200g grated cheddar
• 100g baby spinach
• 2 spring onions
• 1 drizzle hot sauce

METHOD: Blanch the potatoes for 3-5 minutes.

Cook the sausages and cut into bite-size pieces. Scramble the eggs.

In a large non-stick pan, grease and cook potatoes until they are golden brown.

Turn down the heat and add the garlic. Stir thoroughly.

Sprinkle cheese over the potatoes and garlic and, once melted, stir well so that all the potatoes have an even coating.

Add the sausage pieces, stir and leave on a low heat until they are heated through.

Next, add the scrambled eggs, stir and cook through until warm.

At the last minute, add the spinach so it wilts.

Transfer to a large bowl or serve individually.

Garnish with spring onions and a drizzle of hot sauce.
