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

Pre-portioned chicken pieces in one drawer of the air fryer, tater tots in the other. Slice up tomato and carrots to go with them. Nothing left to do except wrap the bones after so the cats can't get them, but that's a future-me problem.

Steam cooked carbonara from instant ramen, cheese and bacon

In a saucepan caramelize some onions (or at least until translucent), then add a package of ground beef and heat until cooked through (optionally spice) then throw some cheese (ideally a provolone or other neutral cheese) on top until it's melted... shovel all that into a baguette and enjoy a munkwich.

Water + rice + frozen mixed vegetables + plant-based protein source (beans, frozen faux chicken, TVP chunks, etc) + seasoning.

Throw it in a pressure cooker and you're done. Maybe 30 seconds of effort for a healthy, hearty, inexpensive meal

Canned fish + rice + potatoes + maybe some vegetables + water + maybe some spices. Put on heat, return after some time, get a soup.

If there's no canned fish, pour in some sunflower oil, etc. Every part is variable.

Depending on the amount of rice and water, this may not be a soup in the end.

Does "whatever is on the Hamburger Helper box" count?

Carbonara. It's ridiculously easy and very tasty.

Pretty much all of them. I've made it a project to feed myself with just nonperishables given like 30 minutes of cooking a night, and I'm about 75% of the way there, I'd say. Salad greens and eggs seem to be impossible to replace, but I can realistically have my own chicken coop and a little growing area indoors. Canadian food prices and qualities are fucked, yo, especially away from big centers.

Last night, I had stierum with a simple salad. It's a bit like a single, big savoury pancake, and you eat it cut into cubes. The dressing is cream (the one rule-breaking element, for now), a dash of vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. I like to let it soak into the bread a bit

On nights I really DGAF, my go-tos are pasta with jarred sauce, or shakshuka. You can get shakshuka sauce in a jar now, so you just empty it into a frying pan, crack four eggs in, and cover until they're cooked. Serve with toast, which you can butter with vegetable oil or ghee.

You can make a vegetarian pulled pork with canned green jackfruit, an onion, bottled barbecue sauce, buns and jarred red cabbage and apple in place of the coleslaw. You pretty much pull apart the jackfruit, and add it with the sauce to sauteed onions. It's delicious, all three components are slightly sweet and they go together well.

I'll stop there, unless somebody is actually interested, but I've got a few more.

Have you tried powdered eggs?

Usually either a lazy pasta dinner with jarred sauce, frozen broccoli, and vegan sausage, or I'll air fry some soy curls and make my husband make a dipping sauce for them

I make a no knead pizza which is incredibly easy. It takes me about 15-20 minutes to prepare the dough in the morning. Just mix it in a bowl, cover it and let proof all day.

About an hour before you plan to eat, flatten the dough onto a baking sheet and let proof again. Once you're ready to eat, just put sauce and toppings of your choice, cook at the highest heat setting on your oven. Should be ready in about 10-15 min.

Best pizza I've ever had. Doesn't compare to the local pizza shops. A lot less greasy also.
