What are your favorite quick recipes?
Main Post:
Both me and my partner are very active and don’t have any restrictive diets, so don’t shy away from your best “unhealthy” recipes!!
I also LOVE spices and a little bit of heat, so don’t shy away from any of those options either!
I’m looking forward to see everyone’s favorite recipes!
Top Comment: Bean burritos. Open a can of refried beans put some on a plate and microwave it. Then put down the middle of a tortilla and roll it up. Add in grated cheese if you have it. Dip it in salsa and munch away. I love it.
What are you go-to SUPER quick dinners for weeknights?
Main Post:
My husband and I both work full time. We have a 10-month-old in daycare. By the time we finish work and pick her up, we’re EXHAUSTED and we still have allll the nightly chores to do. It doesn’t help that we already both hate cooking
So, what are your go-to weeknight dinners? I try looking up recipes and it’s like fancy garlic honey lemon salmon and blah blah blah. No, I’m talking like dump and go recipes. We’re not huge on crockpot meals, but are willing to try some new ones to see if we like them. We’re also kinda picky. 😅
Top Comment: Spaghetti and jar tomato sauce with a pile of grated cheese Cheese toasties and tomato soup Instant noodles with poached eggs Thats the “we are done, food and sleep” list
Easy dinner recipes?
Main Post:
No limits to ingredients (unless it’s expensive) my parents always work late and I’d like to cook dinner for them when I can
Top Comment: Will you be eating with them or do they eat after you? I'm thinking stuff that reheats well might be a good idea like stuffed shells or lasagna. Any interest? Also, what supplies and equipment do you have? Mississippi pot roast is very easy to make and just leave in the slow cooker until people are ready to eat. Also pulled pork/pulled chicken in the slow cooker or a pressure cooker can give you the base for tons of meals! Even just adding BBQ sauce and a roll and some coleslaw and you have a good meal. (You can easily make your own coleslaw too!) Let me know if any of these sound good. What's your current skill level? I do have a bunch of randomly pretty simple recipes of various dishes I could send you that aren't mentioned above but all are good, like tomato lentil soup etc.

[RECIPE] Quick & Easy Cracker Dip for Parties
Main Post:
With July 4th just a couple of days away, I wanted to share a popular dip recipe that I make for almost every gathering. Disclaimer: it's not what I would classify as "healthy" but it makes up for it in deliciousness.
1 8oz. Package of Plain Cream Cheese (softened) 1 pouch (approx. 4 oz) of Hormel Real Bacon Pieces (the softer, real bacon pieces, not the hard, crunchy ones) Approx. 1 Tbs. each of freshly diced parsley and chives Serve while the dip is still spreadable
Pairs well with Sociables crackers or other club-style crackers. I have had varied success with adding hot sauce sometimes, curry in a different batch, and even pico de gallo, strangely enough. Experiment with this however you wish, but the original recipe is hard to beat.
Top Comment: 1 cup of sour cream and a pouch of Continental Chicken Noodle Soup. Mix and refrigerate. That's my go to for when I have parties. The noodles add an extra texture.
What are your favorite ACTUAL EASY recipes?
Main Post:
I scroll through this sub and everybody's talking about recipes that take 2 hours, 50 ingredients, and 20 of which I've never even heard of. How is any of that easy?
What are some good ACTUALLY EASY and QUICK recipes? we live in a 3rd world country so please do not recommend recipes for Instant Pot or Slow Cookers, etc.
Thank you!!!
Top Comment: Aglio e olio! Cook Pasta in very salty water Fry a ton of garlic just until soft in a ton of Olive Oil (add spice as you like) Combine and add parsley! My favorite pasta by far
Reddit, what are some good, easy weeknight dinner recipes you use?

My FUCKING BEEF STEW. Shit is insanely fucking dank and easy. I MEAN INSANELY FUCKING DANK, You will eat this shit non stop for days. Here's what you need.
- Stew Meat
- Frozen Corn/Peas/Carrots Blend
- 1 Celery Stalk
- 1 Large Red Onion
- 1 Green Bell or Poblano Pepper (optional)
- Garlic Cloves (optional)
- 3-4 Large Potatoes or 5 small-medium ones of your favorite potato
- Beef Stock
- Worcestershire sauce, Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder
Talk about some hearty fucking shit? I've got it for you. Insanely Healthy and delicious as can beeeeeee.
Start off by dicing all your veg, onion, celery, pepper, garlic (mince), and Potatoes (medium dice). Start a large pot with 1tbs butter and a little bit of oil. Once Hot Drop all of your onions, celery, peppers in the pot.
Let cook 1-2 mins, Then place the stew meat in the pot, Cook until the veg is translucent and the meat is seared on the outside. Add garlic in the final minute, as I always say, DON'T BURN THE FUCKING GARLIC FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Season with salt/pepper/op/gp.
Pour in the Beef Stock/Broth. Add Potatoes, Add Frozen Corn/Pea/Carrot blend, add water to top off the pot, boil. Boil for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. After that Bring to a simmer, add worcestershire sauce, season appropriately and kind of let it stew and simmer for 5-10 more mins and let all those flavors mellow.
It's so fucking simple, yet so fucking delicious, and So fucking good and healthy for you.
For some sweet fucking kicks you can pour over rice, add oyster crackers or add beans if you want some additional protein, a nice can of black beans couldn't hurt. Also Add a beer to the stew mix if your feeling frisky, i forgot about this, I normally use a Blue Moon. Ty Stantheman
When you make this, Your family will love you, You will love you and You won't EVER Buy that fucking Canned "Beef Stew" fucking impersonator again. That asshole....
As always mo fucka's
Keep it Real.
Simple dinners for two?
Main Post:
My partner and myself have recently started experimenting with actually cooking for dinner a bit more, but only have a few recipes under us (Mac and cheese, carbonara, chicken pie, burrito bowls, toad in the hole). Are there any easy, less than an hour to make recipes that anyone can recommend? :)
Top Comment: Stir fries are quick and easy and a good way to use up whatever protien and vegetables you have on hand.
What are some meals that are simple to make, but easy to impress people with?
Main Post:
I'm looking for new recipe ideas to add to my menu at home. I cook almost every night, and recently I've been getting tired of repeating stuff. Also, side dishes would be great to have. If you have a great side dish recipe, or a way to change up veggies and such, please share!
Edit: Thank you for taking the time to share some great ideas that I'll definitely be trying soon!
Top Comment:
I cook every day, and I don't like to repeat things much, so here are just a few things! I will say that most of the time I don't follow recipes, and I encourage anyone that wants to become great at cooking to be willing to experiment and have fun with food. But these are great as is even if you don't like changing things up!
Crab Cakes with Spicy Remoulade
Pizza on this garlic bread pizza crust
Melt-in-Your-Mouth Chuck Roast
Roasted Tomato Caprese Panzanella
Mexican Pot Roast Tacos (the meat is good on everything, not just tacos)
Creamy Pasta Verde with Garlic Brown Butter Bread Crumbs
Coconut-Pecan Slow Cooker Sweet Potatoes (minus the coconut for me, because yuck)
Any meat dish served with port wine and fig sauce. Particularly a nice rib roast. All you have to do to the roast itself is rub it with some spices. I last used salt, pepper, cloves, nutmeg, and rosemary, or something strange like that.
One of the easiest meals I make is slow cooker pulled pork. Throw in a pork loin with some garlic, salt and paprika, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, a tablespoon of liquid smoke, (YES, really just 2 tbsp liquid) and cook on high for 5-6 hours or til it shreds easily. Then add your sauce (I make mine with a mixture of vinegar, crushed pepper, mustard, ketchup, garlic, salt, pepper, hot sauce and some other junk, but you can also use premade), and you've got awesome pulled pork with minimal effort.
Oh, and real Pecan Pie without all that corn syrup. A must have.
And this Peanut Butter Fudge Cheesecake. Life-changing.
EDIT: OH MY GOSH, I FORGOT. Grilling pizza is so exciting. People are always impressed. And it's delicious. Do that.
EDIT 2: Thanks for the gold, reddit friend! :)
What are some of your best quick and easy recipes?
Main Post:
I'm a student living with his girlfriend who tends to handle the cooking because I enjoy doing it, but I don't have a particularly huge repertoire; what are some of your best quick and easy recipes?
I'll also be happy to receive longer recipes as long as they aren't too expensive - sometimes I'll really feel like getting in there.

A little late, but check out budgetbytes. The site has tons of great recipes and even breaks down the ingredients by price so you know how much the overall dish and an individual serving costs
