/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Looking for your best bachelor chow recipes. Stuff that you can have a big bowl of in the fridge and just scoop out and eat for days.

[Anonymous No.15016486]

Any number of chilis, stews, curries, and soups. I wouldn't recommend doing more than 3 days worth. It's fine up to 4 or 5 depending on ingredients but taste and texture definitely start to go off before it actually spoils.

Just make a stew with whatever meat and veggies you can find on sale, man.

Be gone. /ck/ is a board for people who care more than just eating stale throw together slop.

Pasta salad, anon. You can also make stews or soups and broths that turn to coom in the fridge and liquid after you reheat them.

[Anonymous No.15016797]

Chicken heart ragu. Chicken hearts cost pennies, are more nutrious, tastier and already bite-sized so you save time from preping.

I like chili
and chicken noodle soup is great too

[Anonymous No.15016838]

my go to is one pot chicken thighs and rice

brown 4-5 chicken thighs(skin on bone in ofc) in a stanley steel skillet
remove after about 2-3 minutes on each side
add however many diced and chopped onions/garlic you want, cook until soft and brown for about 8 minutes
add cup of rice and toast for about a minute
add tomato paste and a can of diced fire roasted tomatoes
add 1 cup of broth of choice plus half a cup of water
bring to a slight boil then put it down to a nice simmer, add chicken thighs back into pan on top of everything else
let cook uncovered for about 20-25 minutes until most liquid is cooked through
cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes

and wa la, plate up and eat. this usually lasts me like 4 days on a good week depending on how many thighs i make

[Anonymous No.15017017]

1. Cook rice
2. Saute protein
3. Mix and add seasoning

You don't need a recipe for bachelor chow, just add enough seasoning to make it palatable and you're set.

Get some thin top round steaks, cut into strips or squares, then marinate with soy sauce, worcestershire, chili sauce, and ginger overnight. Depending on how many steaks came in the package this oughta last you a few days to a week. Cook rice, sear the meat you're using, then toss together everything with soy sauce and green onion. If need be, you can prepare everything at once and just eat it whenever from the fridge. This shit got me through college.

chili is good if you just wanna make a big pot of something then reheat it every day. gets boring quick though

Pound of chicken
Bottle of Italian dressing
Few potatoes
Couple of carrots

Slow cook 4 hours or instant pot 20 mins

Serve on rice with a nice buttery bread.

No one is forcing you to throw the liquid away. You could even use some of it to cook the rice.

I'm a bachelor and I live off of microwave meals, delivery meals, and occasionally cooking for myself. THAT's bachelor living. What you're doing is... I don't fucking know. Giving up on life?

It's bachelor chow, yes. I want something different when I eat. I'm not interested in getting the bare minimum nutrients with no change for a week. You literally don't want any variety in taste? Why are you even on this board?

[Anonymous No.15019288]

>>15019283
are you really defending microwave meals against homecooked food and claiming some kind of moral highground

[Anonymous No.15019303]

>>15019288
Yes, some microwaved food is tastier than eating out of a garbage pot for 5 days.

I cook 2-3 times a week, sometimes I'll throw a pot pie or something in the microwave. The rest of the time I eat out. Eating chicken and rice or chili for 12 meals is horrible.

split pea soup

bag of peas
chicken stock
ham hocks
bay leaves
black pepper
sage

boil that shit until the peas melt, remove bay, then shred hocks, add seasoning
add water if too dry

it freezes well too

[Anonymous No.15019328]

It's not great but it's certainly cheaper than mcdicks every day, hence why it's "bachelor chow", cheap slop for students and single people.

[Anonymous No.15019346]

>>15019328
Bachelors don't have to be poor college students. It's just single dudes that have to eat. Being single doesn't mean you're doing fast food every minute. In fact, you should have the money to not have to spend on a girl and kids.

Hamburger Hash

1 lb 80/20 burg, brown in a pan
Remove burg, reserve off to the side
Add some neutral oil, fry some potatoes. Can chop them small and go extra crispy, or leave them in larger pieces.
Add onions, peppers, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, broccoli... really just go nuts with the vegetables.
Liquid released from the veg should help deglaze the pan.
Add the meat back in. Here's where you add in any quick cooking ingredients like chopped garlic, greens, etc.
Finish it off, season and serve. You can pick any flavor profile you want here... simple salt and pepper, Mexican with cumin and ground chilies, continental with basil and oregano. Again, go nuts.

Serve, top with a fried egg if its the morning.

[Anonymous No.15019383]

>>15019375
You can, of course, substitute other meats. Leftover steak, chicken, ham, corned beef, etc. Or throw in a roll of sausage. Hash should be a way of stretching out expensive protein with cheaper potatoes and veg.

Dice up a can of spam and fry it nice and crispy then set aside. In the pan add a little chicken stock, some velveeta and literally any other cheese you want. The velveeta will emulsify it and make it into a nice, creamy cheese sauce. If it's too thick add a little more stock, too grainy add more velveeta. Figure equal parts of velveeta to other cheese. Once all melted stir in the spam, add a little pepper and/or hot sauce and serve over instant mashed potatoes. Or real ones if you're feeling fancy.

[Anonymous No.15019500]

beans from the can are cancer. what you wanna do is buy 1.2lb of beans and leave them to soak overnight, then you dump the water and rinse out the beans and fill the pot to the top with water again. you put in one onion and like 3-4 chuds of garlic, along with 2 chopped carrots, some hot peppers, 4-5 dried laurel leaves, a spoon of fat or a little bit of oil and a marrow bone, lamb or beef. you then let it cook for 2 hours on a low flame and then salt it. after that, let it cook for 30 more mins and heat up some oil in a pan. once it's heated, mix it with 2-2.5 tablespoons of flour and one tablespoon of cayenne pepper, it should be like a thick ooze. Then doomp the mixture into the beans and stir, and let it cook for like 10-15 more mins and it's done. If you are v*gan you can cook it without fat or meat and it is still great.

This is the objectively only way to eat beans. Nobody knows how to eat fucking beans, and they make retard-ass diarrhea food instead. I don't know how other "cultures" don't trip and break their legs getting dressed in the morning when they are too retarded to make fucking beans properly.

Ultimate 'bachelor' food, because for some reason beans are always better the next day.
