Favourite lazy arse dinners

[Spudthespanner]

As per title. Tonight I have a plate of pasta (fusilli) with butter melted through and cheddar cheese on top. Teaspoon of lazy garlic mixed through with the butter. When I’m being less disgusting I melt butter and a little garlic into the fusilli, add tuna or chicken and basil, and squeeze a lemon over. But the ultimate lazy dinner is literally a heap of pasta covered in cheese.

What are your ultimate lazy arse dinners?

Egg on toast - either fried or scrambled

Scampi in the air fryer with some salad

Agree with PP that eating ham out of the packet in front of the fridge does sometimes constitute ‘dinner’

Air fried salmon in with frozen chargrilled frozen veg - makes me feel like it’s a proper meal

Agree with other PP, rice from a pack fried with egg but I add spring onion or other veg

Avocado on toast

If alone, crisps and wine.
Cooking for family, pasta with a jar of pesto, olives on the side.

I do it with boursin cheese but also put chilli flakes on top of the bousrin cheese and add in chorizo with the cherry tomatos. It is soooo tasty!

Buttered scone or toasted teacake, with a glass of tomato juice for the savoury element. Might finish it off with a bag of crisps, for balance.

That’s a jacket potato without the skin, yum!

Start with posh curry sauce. Add miscellaneous leftover veg and ready-cooked chicken pieces. Mix together and microwave.

DH cannot understand how I get through so much chicken. He thinks I would only use it in sandwiches. I don't see the point of buying raw chicken and cooking it for my dinner when I can buy it pre-cooked from Aldi and just chuck it straight on in 😂

haha pizza toast always a winner with my toddler!

my go to is toast (always white bread!) butter and marmite

If it's just me I might just grab a packet of pre-cooked chicken or ham from the fridge and a box of cherry tomatoes. Add a bag of crisps.

If anyone else is in- fusilli, bought pesto with a can of tuna mashed in, with halved cherry tomatoes, all gently heated while the pasta cooks.

Beans on toast
a huge bowl of porridge
a bowl of cereal
toast with marmite and butter

a pack of filled pasta with butter and parmesan

tonight - oven chips with pre-grated cheese and wine (DP is away, tough day, no judgement please)

This is lazy? Christ alive that’s like the artistic masterpiece of a gourmet fucking chef in this house.

Lazy to me doesn’t even involve cutlery, let alone garlic, basil and a stove. Pipe down Gordon Ramsey.

Bung some soup in the microwave and drink it directly from the carton. Wipe your face with the back of your sleeve if necessary.

If I’m at 8/10 effort I might dust off the toaster.

I hear people talking about pizza toast. Crumpet pizzas are even better.

Toast crumpets, spread on tomato puree, add toppings (ham, chorizo etc) then cheese on top and grill for a couple of minutes.

My favourite too but minus the veg and spinach!

Last night my dinner was a tub of pringles, some salsa dip, some dairy lea triangles and a bottle (cough, 2,) of wine.

It's actually my covid dinner. When the shops were bear during covid that was literally all I could find in Tesco one day. I've grown accustomed to it on a weekend now and then since then 😄

Toasted crumpets smothered in Brie, Boursin or Philadelphia with a bag of salad.

Jacket potato with butter, cheese and coleslaw and a bag of salad.

Toast covered in butter, then grated cheese, then smashed crisps, then baked beans and top with olives or a couple of pickled onions.

Smash some crisps and cover in sliced avocado topped with Stilton - flash under the grill until cheese has melted - serve on a bag of salad.

cook pasta, add pesto. Done.

I freeze pesto into portions in the freezer because using a whole jar two days after opening just ain't happening.

Super Noodles 😂

The hot crisps / avocado / stilton one - my mind is boggled and in awe - sounds amazing

Kimchi ramen noodles. Preferably with some gyoza from the freezer or an egg but often just the ramen. I should have shares in Nongshim the amount of them I buy! 🤣

Wash your mouth out.The cheese and broccoli one is the best

2 potato waffles put in the toaster, served inside thick white buttered bread and ketchup (potato waffles butty)

Sure I saw this on a reel. Didn’t write it down so this was my take from it.
Whole ready made garlic baguette per person 🤣 cut right down the centre, filled with half a TIN of bolognese, couldn’t get that so used tinned chilli con carne. Add grated cheese, and air fry until it’s all hot.

Ha ha we tried it, very delicious, rather filling, but we’d had nothing all day 🤣🤣
Had to buy tinned chilli ( and the garlic baguettes) to try it

Hummus with some form of carb for dipping, or just a pot of hummus with a spoon.

Blend up any fruit lying around into a smoothie with yoghurt and peanut butter

Scrambled eggs and hot sauce

Beans on toast with cheese on top

A singular babybel.
