Lazy dinner ideas?

I'm sitting at home on the sofa with an abundance of groceries but zero desire to cook something substantial.
Please inspire me /ck/ with your simple go-to specials.
Inspire me?

Cheese and onion quesadilla.
You could go and make it right now, and be back reading this thread in under five minutes.

Make a grilled cheese and eat with tomato soup.
Do not use mayo instead of butter.

That aside, Baked Ziti (or as close as you can approximate if your tube-shaped pasta isn't ziti). Cook pasta to the point it's still a little hard, drain, add sauce, cheese, and mix in an oven-safe casserole dish. Add a top layer of cheese, and cook for 20-30 minutes at 350F or until the top layer is that picturesque bubbly browned cheesescape. Remove from the oven, let cool and serve.

Time to shake and bake some pork chops and make mashed potatoes to go with it, bud.

cook lasagna noodles, tear them in half after cooking.

Dip lasagna halves in a sauce dip of your choice.

That's the lazy way to do lasagna.

Sounds good anon. Super easy, 3.5/5 stars.
>>11111585
Who tf uses Mayo over butter in a grilled cheese? That's like replacing pasta for rice in spag bol.
Blasphemy!
>>11111587
Sounds good anon. When I get up, I'll take a pic of the pasta I have in stock and maybe you can recommend the best one.

I'll save you some effort. It works with Penne, Ziti, Tortiglioni, and Rigatoni. Cavatappi is pushing it, and Macaroni is unacceptable.

[Anonymous No.11111647]

As an alternative to Ziti: a Meat Quesadilla.

-2 tortillas, up to the size of your pan
-Mexican cheese blend (either pre-shredded or you can look up that shit yourself, it's mostly colby jack)
-finely chopped or shredded cooked meat
OPTIONAL
-finely diced vegetables

Assembly instructions
1. Put the first tortilla down in the pan at medium heat
2. sprinkle with a light layer of cheese
3. apply an even layer of the meat/veg
4. sprinkle another layer of cheese
5. apply top tortilla
6. check to see that the bottom tortilla has toasted and become firm
7. Flip the quesadilla
8. check to see that the other tortilla has become toasted and firm
9. pull from heat, slice, and serve.

There are a LOT of lazy recipes that still look sophisticated when completed. Here's a cast-iron pizza recipe assuming you have store-bought fresh dough:

Ingredients:
-Half a bag of fresh pizza dough
-sauce (marinara, alfredo, olive oil, I don't care)
-mozzarella
-[GENERIC TOPPINGS]
-optional: italian cheese blend, DIY or bagged

Instructions:
-Split the dough in the bag 50/50. Put the unused half in the fridge or freezer, depending on how soon you expect to use it.
-Roll the half you plan to use into a ball, and drop in the middle of a waiting, oiled cast iron pan. Cover the top of that ball with moist paper towels, and proceed to ignore it for the next 30 minutes to two hours.
-When you return to that ball, first set your oven to 400F. Squeeze out the gas, then by hand stretch it out until it can evenly fill the bottom of the cast iron pan. Place into the bottom of that pan, then wait ten minutes.
-After ten minutes pass, apply your sauce of choice, a light layer of mozzarella (going light is important here), and then toppings if you're not doing a cheese pizza.
-Once the pizza is topped, add an equal amount of cheese, either mozzarella or a 50/50 with an Italian blend in the empty spaces. Over-covering toppings will inhibit proper cooking.
-Place the cast iron skillet over a burner at about 75% heat for three minutes.
-At the end of those three minutes, transfer the cast iron pan to the oven. Check on it in 18 minutes.
-If the cheese looks bubbly and done, remove it from the oven. If not, wait another two minutes and check again.
-Once it's out of the oven, remove the pizza from the pan and place it on a rack or platter or plate to cool. Ignore it for 10 minutes, tops.
-Cut, and serve.

That's attention to detail, but not really defined by effort.

None of these recipes have been fully pre-packaged. They are the height of laziness assuming only moderate pre-preparation.

also, mark bittman's recipe for pasta butter and parmesan. It has tons of variations and I make it all the time. The alfredo one is particularly nice in my opinion and is stupid simple to make. (use real parmigiano reggiano btw)

[Anonymous No.11113530]

>>11111628
Thanks, I used to make it when I was 10 or so a lot. Just dump meat sauce in a bowl, add some Parmesan or cheddar, dip lasagna noodles in it.

It's lazy pasta, but even in highschool a lot of friends copied my idea, one friend called them lachos.

This soup is heavenly. Pair it with a good sandwich or some sides like cheddar peppers or mozzarella sticks and you've got a great quick meal.

i think a grilled cheese sandwich with thin slices of grilled spam would be a fun dish. very retro, but the easy bite through the spam would match the creaminess of the cheese, unlike most other proteins, and would stand up flavorwise. bacon would be nice too but only if cooked to a total crisp.

I ran out of cheese. all i had was some leftover rice with some onions. i was too lazy to even microwave an egg and make an omelette so i just warmed up the rice and ate it with some peanut butter

quarter four plum tomatoes or two regular big tomatoes
add them to hot pan with olive oil in it
let them kind of break apart
stir, mashing and tearing tomato skin
add two eggs, break yolks
cover, lower heat, and let simmer until yolks are done
