Favourite by yourself Netflix dinners?

What's your favourite evening meal for when you have the house to yourself? I've got a rare few evenings coming up where I have both the time and the tv to myself.

At the moment I'm thinking of baked camembert, but I can't think of anything else. It needs to be low effort to create and take a while to eat.

Nachos!! Tortilla chips with chilli or enchilada sauce, cheese, and jalapenos baked until the cheese melts. Then add salsa and guac.

Pasta with bacon, mushrooms, red onion and cheese and cream.

Right now it’d be the easiest thing I can get. So probably a tub of hummus, a selection of meats such as chorizo and Serrano ham, some pitta or fancy bread. Maybe some veg sticks.

Oh and crisps! Not bothered about sweet stuff.

Nachos sound perfect! Can you get that cheese sauce stuff you get in the States?
I've bought the camembert.

It's a good job dh doesn't go away often else I'd get scurvy.
