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

I knew if I said carbonara people wouldn't believe me but it's true. Bonus points if you chop the bacon with scissors instead of using a cutting board. It's very very easy and people think it's magic because you're "making your own sauce". It's as easy as any of the other one ingredient pasta suggestions, and only slightly harder than the instant ramen suggestions.

Keep on bacon'on.

An even lazier option is just to buy pre-cubed pancetta. I keep it in the freezer, then just dump it in frozen. But most people buy bacon more than they buy pancetta.

Not sure they keep that in stock around here but given the scissor method, it's really a non issue. I do that with adding bacon to Mac and Cheese too, along with a frozen veg (like green beans) for minimal effort and cleaning. If anyone ever gives me trouble I tell them it's the Korean BBQ way.
