If I seriously don’t feel up to cooking, like there’s no fucking way I’m turning on the stove? Cereal.
My “just throw it in a pan” meal? Seashell pasta + canned tomato soup. Apparently one fateful day before payday, my grandmother had two hungry kids to feed, and nothing in the house but those two ingredients. So my gramma invented Spaghettios from first principles and a family comfort food was born. A hot meal so simple you can make it without a working brain stem.
Tuna salad. Almost all of the ingredients are stable or long lasting and it’s very tasty and filling.
Ingredients are
A can of tuna ("in oil) is best, “in water” turns tuna to mush) Mayonnaise Finely diced onion Diced pickle Diced celery, lettuce or other leafy green Fresh or dry dill (optional ) Garlic powder (optional) Small drizzle of olive oil (optional, I use it when I use less mayo) American cheese (served on bread of choice, also optional)
It can be served on most breads as a sandwich or crackers. I recommend the bread be toasted as well
Directions: Dice components, drain tuna, stir, add mayo, stir, serve on carb of choice.
I think the prompt was ease of prep, not how stable the ingredients are.
You just dirtied a knife, a cutting board, a fork, a bowl, a plate, used a can opener, 11 ingredients, and prepped four of the main ingredients.
I do like tuna salad though and this sounds delicious. Except for the American cheese.
