How lazy can you get?

quickbeam

I'm a particularly lazy cook. I could boil off some pasta and add a portion of a tin of tomatoes and some salt and pepper and be happy with that for dinner. If I'm feeling particularly adventurous I might add some frozen veg in to the mix, but cook it along with the pasta to save washing up. Or, add some mushrooms - the least difficult things to chop. If I have it handy I might add some grated cheese in when done too.

Luckily it's only myself I have to feed. I'd be morto to have to cook "properly" if I'd others to cater for.

So, what's the laziest dish you cook? The one that's "one step up" from piercing a film and bunging a ready meal in the microwave?

My favourite comfort food is incredibly lazy. Boiled baby potatoes chopped up, smothered in melted butter and some wilted spinach and loads of salt and pepper. Heaven in a bowl and takes zero effort or skill.

Pistachios & cream

Pasta with pesto and parma ham. I'm mainly a from scratch cook but there are times when i just want easy and simple

Back in the day, when I was living alone, I was a devil for sandwiches for dinner including tattoos sandwiches. Now it would be a cheese and ham “quesadilla”, ham, cheese and relish in a wrap and fried. I may put in onion if I’m not too lazy. It’s a basically a toasted cheese sandwich but sounds like a proper dinner if I call it a quesadilla.

Penne with a packet white sauce, might stir in some cheese if I'm arsed

Colonel Claptrap

A fry for dinner.

I just sprinkle spices on my tongue...

Beans on toast for dinner when myself and herself are feeling particularly lazy after a long day at work, no regrets either!

In less time than it would have taken you to do that I'd have made myself a delicious omelette.

I was going to have beans and toast for dinner today - didn't have beans so i just had toast.

What goes in to it? For me, it's chopping that puts me off when I'm feeling lazy, so if there's a lot of that going on, I tend to avoid it. Of course if it was just pure egg and seasoning then I'd be with you (add the grated cheese too, if I had it!)

caviardreams

Baked beans mixed with tinned tuna on toast - next level guys :D:D

quickbeam

How about microwaved potatoes topped with:
tinned mackerel, or
cottage cheese and seasoning, or
another cheese concoction such as slices of camembert, or
if I'm feeling very adventurous, homemade beans, something like cannelloni with tinned tomato and seasoning.

You put in whatever you want. The point is that quick & easy food doesn't have to be muck.

Stick some random pie in the oven(donal skeehan banned) . When done take out pie and place on plate, grab a handful of rocket leaves and begin eating. Might chop some tomatoes with the rocket and add salt, pepper and olive oil if I'm feeling fancy.

tea and coffee

Waffles Beans and scrambled eggs

I am thinking all of them dishes take a lot of effort. My lazy dinner is Koka noodles!

longshanks

Cacio e pepe. Simple and delish.

Anything. Mushrooms, grated cheddar, and chopped Denny ham, for example.

Stick a runny fried egg in there and the job's oxo.

And pick up the 'good' ramen from the Asian shop, there's a tonkatsu flavour one that's gorgeous.

My favourite of all my lazy dishes is a cup a soup with a ham,cheese and aromat sandwich.

that was the first thing that i thought of when i seen this post.

although if it was for dinner, you would need some buttered bread to go with it too:P
and no one has the time when they are being lazy to bother with the stove cooking ones. its the pot ones you want for ultimate laziness and no dishes.

i just recently thought my son to 'cook' the pot ones for himself, he's 8. he's delighted with himself that he can cook, and i'm delighted he's on the road to self sufficiency:cool:
(noodles not too often though)

Baby potatoes into the microwave for 6 minutes, throw a slice of breaded cod in for 3 and frozen veg in for 2.

No mess no fuss.

Is this a challenge?

Dial Hard

Pasta, pesto and toasted pine nuts. I call it "pasto".
