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

  • 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.

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?

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.

Instant oats + milk powder+ peanut butter+ hot water+ mix tf outta it + add some fruits as garnish if you have any to feel royal :P

A good nutritious meal

[โ€“] Lennnny@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Put 3 frozen chicken breasts in the instant pot, add 1 cup chicken stock, sachet of taco seasoning, half a cup of salsa, and a tin of kidney beans, pressure cook for 17 mins, break up the chicken and mix back in, serve with sour cream and grated cheese. Amazing.

Rice, pisto from mercadona and fried egg.

[โ€“] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I don't even go that far. A can of chicken and some frozen peas (heated in some water in the microwave then drained) go into the final mix. Eat it from the pan or a plate if you're feeling fancy.

Usually I cross the street for some Mexican food! Cheap and magnificent!

Roasted peppers and pesto pasta with sun-dried tomatoes.

[โ€“] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Chicken Teriyaki. I often have left over grilled chicken breast or thighs so the hard part is already done. I just throw the chicken into a skillet along with some broccoli, pour in store bought teriyaki sauce and serve it on a bowl of rice.

[โ€“] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Is the broccoli already cooked? Or are you just heating it up to absorb the sauce?

[โ€“] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

No, not cooked. More specifically, I throw them in first with a bit of oil to roast them a little before adding the chicken and sauce.

[โ€“] aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How long does that take? Are you using high heat?

[โ€“] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Not long, 5-7 minutes, medium heat. Cook the broccoli for a minute or two until it browns on one side (I cut florets in half so it has a flat side), add in chicken and sauce and cook until they're hot.

[โ€“] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks! Iโ€™ll try to make it over the holidays.

[โ€“] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Leftovers. Honestly, I cook like two times a week. Throw most of it in the fridge, some of it in the freezer, and grab a collection of whatever and microwave, air fry, or convention oven it. Even better is if the "cooking" is smoking or crock pot. You know, throw it in, check every few hours, kind of deals.

Otherwise, I'll just eat ingredients and pretend it's a charcuterie.

The other is sandwiches and eggs. Make bacon, use bread or eggs to clean up grease, throw some meat or cheese on it, season with bull shit (whatever premixed seasoning sounds good). I like mayo and balsamic on my sandwiches too. That's my easier than eating out and actually worth eating stuff.

[โ€“] weeeeum@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Tuna salad sandwich

Tuna, celery, onion, mayo, dry dill, garlic powder, pickles if you want in a bowl and mix. Spread on toast and that's it. Has plenty of protein and will keep you full.

Next is ramen.

Boil water to cook ramen noodles

Stir fry some onion, scallion whites, other hard veggies and garlic, once tender add some soy sauce, broth and some bouillon powder, and soft or leafy veg and the scallion greens.

Let that cook and add noodles and a light drizzle of sesame oil

Breaded chicken tenders with spaghetti and jarred sauce or pesto.

If there is leftover rice in the rice cooker, a fried egg, chili paste and pork fu on that rice is great. Avocado on there is good too. Chili paste on rice if you don't want to make an egg.

A piece of cheese and an apple is good. Apple and peanut butter good. Cheese and crackers good.

I think your best bet, though, is to cook and save a portion you can pop in the microwave when you don't want to cook. And keep something like hummus on hand, healthy and easy. Seasoned canned beans.

Grilled veggies, crispy garbanzo, some Greek yogurt and zaatar. Super quick and easy.

Carbonara. It's ridiculously easy and very tasty.
