Vintage backpacker meal recipes courtesy of Westend Sydney Backpackers
Fed up with noodles?! Some vintage backpackers meals can be produced with a little imagination, determination and a few extra dollars. Here at Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel, Sydney we suggest that you head to level one and start making some awesome friends from the array of people that haunt its very floor. You’ll meet some crazy longtermers that are always willing to chat and chip in on a ‘vintage meal’. The first thing to do is get four of five of you together and head to Coles.
A staple is pasta or rice which costs next to nothing and has more nutritional value then cardboard (noodles) and actually fills you up. Throw in some veggies, meat if you’re feeling adventurous and grab a cheap Coles own pasta sauce and you have a cheap and tasty backpacker meal.

This is obviously the cheapest of all but if you have a little more of a budget you can stretch it to any of the following:
500grams minced steak
2 tablespoon oil or margarine
1 teaspoon salt
1 red capsicum
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup water
2 onions
3-4 tomatoes
1 green capsicum
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 bay leaf
2 cups cooked red kidney beans
Brown onions and meat well, add tomatoes, salt, capsicum , chilli powder, paprika, bay leaf and water. Cover and cook for 40 minutes. Add beans and simmer until heated through. Add more water if necessary. Serve with boiled rice or spaghetti.
