You can use up all sorts of bits of pieces from the fridge if you want to. They fill you up and are nourishing without spending much.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been wanting to make this particular version for a while now. My granddaughter has come to live with us and one of the things she really likes is potatoes. She doesn\u2019t like oats, so doesn\u2019t like my lovely <a href=\"https:\/\/thriftylesley.com\/vegetable-crumble-25p-a-portion\/\">vegetable crumble<\/a> which is a bit of a blow, so I thought a sliced potato top on the same base would work \u00a0\u2013 and it did!<\/p>\n<h2>Variations for savoury vegetable bakes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Any root vegetable or combination of them will work beautifully<\/li>\n<li>The base can be any vegetables that you think will work, I\u2019ve tried loads of different combinations and like all of them so far.\n<ul>\n<li>try parsnip and chestnut<\/li>\n<li>use different kinds of beans, or spicy mixed beans<\/li>\n<li>swap the beans for big green or brown lentils<\/li>\n<li>use mushroom ragout as the base<\/li>\n<li>or you could use one vegetable in the tomato base eg parsnip roundels<\/li>\n<li>The vegetable bake is vegan as it is, or you can add all kinds of meaty things\n<ul>\n<li>add cooked bits of bacon, pepperoni etc<\/li>\n<li>or chopped chicken<\/li>\n<li>or maybe prawns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-14431\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\"
