Simple meal
Requires a dehydrator and 4 different types of potato
This is my kind of simple.
That soundtrack is everything, thank you for sharing this work of art
Even better when it involves using ingredients that I don't have at that point. So going out to buy them is no longer lazy.
Step 1: Unwrap processed cheese slice and put in mouth. Repeat as necessary.
You're spending time unwrapping? I refuse to buy the individually wrapped ones because that's way too much work.
I just eat the wrapper.
I like the plastic wrapped shits after.
Nice, clean and doesn't leave poop ghosts in the toilet.

Hi everyone, welcome back to my food channel. You don't want to cook a full balanced meal every night, sometimes you just want something quick! So today I wanted to show everyone my go-to lazy meal.
[I rip open a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips with my teeth and just start pouring them vertically into my mouth. Many of the chocolate chips do not go into my mouth, they just fall straight down, bouncing off the floor and out of frame. Some get caught in the folds of my clothing, occasionally rolling off onto the floor and bouncing out of frame. Most unsettling are the ones that fall into my mouth and then are carried out again by their own chaotic momentum, covered in microscopic flecks of my saliva, sticking to my shirt or splattering on the floor.]
[This continues for much longer than you'd think, as I empty the entire 1-pound bag without stopping.]
[I release the empty plastic bag, which drifts to the floor. The camera zooms in on my eyes, where tears are just starting to be visible. Fade out.]
Y'all are way too productive...
And lazy doesn't necessarily mean quick either. Frozen pizza has gotta be the real winner here.
let it cool a bit and fold it over. eat it like a big sammich. don't even have to dirty the pizza cutter.
I'm not sure I know how to cook anything that doesn't start with a chopped onion.
After it gets translucent, add a knife-tip's worth of minced garlic from the jar... Some salt and pepper.
From there you're making anything from soup to pasta to breakfast to Mexican, Asian, Italian...
I got this great lazy spaghetti snack recipe.
Real lazy meal? Uncooked top ramen, the cheaper the better.
Recipe:
Smash ramen noodles
Open bag
Pour seasoning into bag of broken noodles
Congrats, you have ramen chips.
Yeah, but first you have to dip your pinky in the seasoning and taste it like a tv cop testing drugs.
This is why we in the UK, the King's of lazy food, have perfected the art of the "picky tea" slap two kind of beige food on a baking tray, shove it in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 200°, big dolop of your preferred dipping sauce on the side, or some baked beans if you're feeling lush, lovely jubbly.
There's different levels of lazy. If you can't bring yourself to chop an onion every once in a while, you probably just need to practice it a bit or something, because that shit isn't hard.
I don't think anybody says chopping an onion is hard, but it also means you're going to be cooking for about an hour.
A lazy meal is like beans on toast, or something you slap in the microwave for three minutes.
Sorry, but it doesn't take an hour to cook an onion. If you do it often enough you can chop an onion finely in less than 2 minutes. You can generally just throw onions into whatever container you are cooking in. Sharp knives are a must, and watch a video on how to cut veggies. Along with a cheap knife sharpener ofc.
Onions are the bread and butter for taste in my cooking. A quick web search for best herbs to add to whatever it is you are cooking will change how you cook and eat immensely. Buying a couple of jars of herbs a month and increase your repertoire bit by bit. I realise not everyone can do this ATM with the cash flow crisis that is predominant. But for those who can spend an extra £5-6 a month, it will change how you love your food.
My tea tonight(yes, its called tea where I live) - Chicken that is busy marinating in rosemary and thyme, with onions and peppers. Along with my own version of a Ratatouille that I made yesterday mixed into pasta. I am not a clever cook or anything like it. I just cook a small number of things very well.
The best recipe I have come across so far is lamb chops. Make a mixture of sage, rosemary, thyme, coriander and cumin (1.25ml equally for each one). Put them in a small glass and mix it up, then this will coat 3 lamb chops. Fry in Olive oil in a lidded frying pan.
If you have no lid for your frying pan, I would really recommend getting one. They are easy to buy from Amazon and save a lot of energy. They also keep a lot of the flavours in the pan. Add a couple of chopped garlic cloves while frying. At 3-4 minutes before removing the chop add finely chopped onions.
I don't mind the chopping, washing and cleaning up is the dealbreaker for actually cooking for a lazy meal.
My lazy hot meal is usually something with noodles or rice, like jar sauce bolognese or egg rice. Bonus if you eat it straight out of the pot.
Fr, if it involves that much prep then it’s officially gourmet
if it dirties more than the dish it's eaten from.
Why don't you already have chopped onion in your fridge for when you're feeling lazy? Be kind to your future self when you have the time and motivation. I chop a sweet onion or two every weekend and use it throughout the week on whatever. Gotta do peppers a couple times a week though. I put that stuff in everything.

I don't have a pre-chopped onion in my fridge for the same reason why you probably don't have 20 different kinds of pen refills, inkwells and nibs to go with your collection of dozens of various pens. I do a lot of writing. I don't do much cooking.
my lazy meal is just whatever cheese is in the fridge
This will potentially sound disgusting, but yesterday i chopped a red onion, broke off a 20cm piece of sausage and ate them with 2 pieces of bread for lunch. Couldn't even deny I'm from Hungary🤣
You want lazy onions? They sell bags of frozen, already chopped onions. Just throw them in the pan. They take longer to get cooked but not but much.
Add a bag of sliced, frozen bell peppers and you’ve got a base to start adding those frozen beef cheesesteak sheets. Slam some sliced American on it at the end and you’ve got a cheesesteak mix. (Please don’t kill me, Philly). Throw that on whatever bread you’ve got laying around. It’s lazy and fairly cheap (if you get the steakums at the discount grocery).
Open container, heat (optional), eat.
If it requires more, it's not lazy enough.
My lazy meal is two ham and cheese sandwiches. When I have more time on my hands, I might make some ramen. The fanciest I'll go is mac and cheese.
