I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you're tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

Lemon pepper chicken, take chicken breast, slap it in a pan, fill the pan with lemon juice, So that the chicken is effectively soaking in it while it cooks, put copious amounts of lemon pepper seasoning on the top of the chicken breast, Wait until fully cooked. It's absolutely delicious!

Not sure if this would count, but here it is:

  • Stovetop stuffing
  • Canned chicken

Boil water amount on the box in the electric kettle. Drain canned chicken. (Some brands need to be rinsed because of the amount of salt in the broth they're canned in.) Add stuffing, butter (amount according to the box) and chicken into a bowl. Stir to incorporate. Add boiling water, stir again, and cover for 5 minutes. Fluff and serve.

I suggest using the low sodium version as there will be a lot of salt between the box of stuffing and canned chicken. Can also use leftover cooked chicken.

Indomie! It's not instant ramen soup, exactly.

You cook the noodles, drain them, then mix the flavor packets in. I prefer using half the salt powder package.

They are the pretty much the best instant noodle, and available in the West too. Seriously, go try them sometime!

If I'm too lazy to cook, I open a can of fish and wash a pile of cucumbers to eat as side dishes with the Indomie.

Mine is probably oatmeal.

Put half a cup of instant oatmeal, some nuts, peanut butter and a banana in the blender and pour some milk.

I usually put in the refrigerator and eat it in the morning.

For sweetening You can also use dates or maple syrup instead of sugar.

While you cook up some boxed mac and cheese on the stove, cut up some broccoli and onions or whatever appropriate veggies you have lying around, and open a can of tuna (any kind of cooked protein is fine, so fry and shred some chicken breast or ground beef if you're feeling ambitious.) When that's done, mix it together in a casserole dish, throw some cheese on top and chuck it in the oven until it turns a bit brown.

This isn't what you're really asking, but I have a bunch of stuff in the freezer that I can pull out when I'm sick, don't have enough time to prepare a meal or am just exhausted from whatever.

Making lasagne? Make 4, freeze 3. Mex night? I make 20 black bean burritoes at a time. Check out https://onceamonthmeals.com/ for inspiration. Less cooking, less dishes and less food waste. Go pro and pick up a food saver. I make 8 cups of rice and freeze it in a pint food saver bag. It's winter where I live and I have "soup bags" in the freezer so I can take out veggies that were at their peak when they were frozen and put it in a crock pot so I can have summer fresh soup.

Boil pasta. Drain. Add whole can of canned tomatoes to pot (fire roasted or Italian seasoning versions optional)

Slow cooker stuff if I'm lazy but thinking ahead a bit. Just throw shit in a pot and turn it on. I tend to get big lumps of meat rather than steaks or whatever, so the slow cooker has the added benefit of me not needing to do much cutting. I just do a few big chunks and it'll be so tender by the time it's ready it'll fall apart. Takes longer to put it away in containers than to prep it, then I'm done cooking for a week lol

Spaghetti bolognese is a regular if I need something soon. Little more work, but it's extremely quick and doesn't require being in the kitchen for the whole thing. Still makes a ton of meals that keep and reheat nicely.

Roasts are nice if I'm sort of having to impress someone but I'm lazy. You just throw shit in the oven and wait. Occasionally come back to throw in something that has a shorter cook time than the meat. Might be heresy but I've never really been keen on the leftovers of a roast though, so one cook is usually only one meal and maybe a sandwich the next day instead of several.

Hard boiled eggs

[โ€“] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

Meatballs and spaghetti :)

Sourdough pancakes. Just put some oil in the pan, pour your starter, and add some spices.

Chicken "parmesan"

  • non-scratch breaded chicken
  • good marinara
  • parmesan/mozza (sparingly)
[โ€“] uphillbothways@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

One of these 2:

  • some leftover rice, reheated.
    or
  • a couple small potatoes, microwaved and then cut into cubes.

Mixed with one of these 3:

  • 1-2 packets cooked maggi masala ramen.
    or
  • a can of chili and microwave for another couple minutes.
    or
  • bagged madras lentils, similar to above.

Porkchop and potato cut into wedgies tossed in the toaster oven then some raw broccoli for pooping power later

[โ€“] Bongles@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Rice, salsa, cheese, sour cream, wing it from there with seasonings and proteins like beans or meat.

[โ€“] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ravioli or tortellini.

Grab them in the premade packages dried or "fresh."

Boil them, drain them, dump the sauce in.

I'll never get tired of pasta.

  • Preheat oven to 425 MAGA temperature units.
  • Put as many frozen brussles sprouts as you can fit in a single layer in an 8x8 roasting pan (disposable pan for extra laziness).
  • Oh come on. You can fit another couple in there. Just cram 'em in.
  • That's better.
  • Spray olive oil all over 'em.
  • Garlic salt all over 'em.
  • Paprika.
  • Onion powder.
  • Black pepper.
  • Throw a frozen Aidells-brand pre-cooked andouille or italian sausage on top.
  • Cook for an hour.

If you want to be just a little less lazy, you can throw a handful of raw pecans on top of the brussles sprouts to roast about 18-20 minutes before that hour is up.

[โ€“] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Why is this downvoted? It's a long list literally just because of writing style, if that's the issue. I guess an hour is a little on the long side, but lots of people are throwing out slowcooker recipes.

Roast brussels sprouts and sausage in an oven, with certain spices. Come back when it's done. Better?
