I'm home alone today. I've warmed up some tinned mixed beans and mixed them with Ainsley's spicy cuppa soup and a Heinz tomato cuppa soup. I'm lazy aren't I? Not usually this lazy and enjoy cooking I just really cba.
Eating this in a bowl.
Any Royle family fans, this is cuppa soup with a big twist 🤣

My laziest is also my hangover breakfast and it is honestly pretty bad. It’s just bacon. Precooked refrigerated bacon that you heat up and an energy drink to wash it down. Can’t even be arsed with toast, though I may chase it with four or six ibuprofen if it’s a bad one. 😂

In my defense greasy food + caffeine is the best hangover cure.

Cup a soup with a lump of extra mature cheddar in it
Frozen bao buns in the microwave
Melted brie on untoasted bread with a ton of freshly ground black pepper

These are my ultimate, no effort whatsoever, that'll-do-while-I'm-working, things to stuff gently into my waiting mouth.

Cereal straight from the box. If you've heated or stirred, you've already put forth too much effort.

Am currently making oven crinkle cut chips to serve with leftover McDonalds Sweet Mustard Sauce and sour cream. Might go crazy and add chopped dill pickles, phwoarr.

Someone mentioned this upthread- I love to microwave some frozen potato mash and frozen peas. Make packet gravy. Salt and pepper. Like a roast dinner without the roast.

Love all the microwave rice ideas, such brilliance.

You're right. And for those who slice things 😳

Boil pasta . Drain. Stir in Philadelphia and smoked salmon. That's it.
Can substitute salmon with ham, or something else I guess.

This. Buttered bread with an egg cracked on and popped in the air fryer for 6 or 7 mins. Cheese added and back on for a minute.

Aldi gluten free fish goujons with a tin of mushy peas
GF crumpets with cheese on top and baked beans
in warmer weather boiled eggs mashed up with Mayo a bit of onion and some prawns - which I then make into a wrap with lettuce leaves

My laziest is spaghetti and a jar of pesto. I always feel quite relieved knowing that’s going to be dinner. I add garlic bread and put Parmesan on it but it’s so easy and quick, dinner ready in fifteen minutes.
