It's butter chicken for me and my gf

1lb ground beef 2 cans sweet corn 2 cans of kidney beans Two cans diced tomatoes 1 can tomato paste Taco seasoning (I buy McCormicks from Costco so I have no idea how many packets)

In a large pot brown the beef Once browned open all cans and put them in the pot, juice and all Heat to simmer and add taco seasoning with your heart

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and/or some shredded cheese on top

Taco soup

Steam cooked carbonara from instant ramen, cheese and bacon

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.

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

My too-lazy-to-cook recipes still involve some cooking. One has me cut up some chicken thighs, add a load of spices, and throw em in a frying pan. Stir occasionally. Then stick em on some tortillas with shredded lettuce, garlic sauce, salsa, sriracha and grated cheese.

Alternatively, fry some diced bacon while heating up a pot of water for spaghetti. When the bacon's good, remove & discard about half the rendered fat. Next, beat an egg and grate in some Parmigiano Reggiano* cheese. When the pasta water is good, cook some spaghetti. When the spaghetti is done, take it out of the pasta water with some tongs and throw it straight into the pan with bacon. Then add the egg mixture and start stirring immediately, the egg mixture cooks from the heat still in the spaghetti. Add cheese and a little bit of pasta water to taste.

* more generic parmesan will do, though the best texture is reached with freshly grated cheese. I have access to Parmigiano Reggiano at a price that won't break the bank for me though, so the real Italian deal it is for me.

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

Cassava flakes mixed with milk and sweetener

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.

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.

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
