Yes I did check to see if there were any other recipe based threads and I didn't find any. If I was mistaken by all means some moderator please delete this thread. Anyway, I wanted to create a thread where I could share recipes I'm familiar with and others could also share theirs. They don't have to fancy, they don't even have to be detailed, if you want to share then go for it. Here's how I make a poor man's tater tot casserole:

First I throw some ground beef in a pan with some seasonings, brown that all up.
Then I mix that with a can of cream of chicken soup.
Next I mix that with a scoop of sour cream, just shove all that flat on a plate or something when finished.
Grab some tater tots and microwave those suckers, screw the oven. Throw those on top of everything.
Finally blanket that mess with some cheddar cheese, microwave to melt, and you're done.

Feel free to make adjustments, but that's it in a nutshell. It's probably high in calories, so don't make it every day unless you're trying to give yourself a heart attack. :cool:

Here's how I do chicken and rice.

First, wash your rice and put it in the rice cooker. if you don't have a rice cooker, soak your rice in a large pot for 30 minutes to an hour, then put on low heat covered until cooked (you will see little pot holes in the rice).

While the rice cooks, cut up your chicken into bite size pieces and put it in a wok or frying pan. Add just a little bit of water or olive oil to keep it from sticking. Cook on medium high heat until the surface of the chicken turns white. Now season your chicken as desired. You can use a variety of things, I most prefer a small amount of black pepper, a decent coating of generic chicken seasoning, a light dusting of parsley, and a generous coverage of powdered ginger. Once the seasonings are on, douse the pan in honey; this will caramelize directly onto the chicken in the heat, giving it a sweet flavor and sealing in the seasonings. You should have enough to create a bit of a sauce in the pan that you can stir the chicken around in. Keep stirring it with a fork so that the chicken is evenly coated. I like to add some teriyaki to my chicken, which I splash on after the chicken has just started to turn a light tan color, adding just enough to drip a little bit on each piece. Whether or not you choose to add teriyaki, keep cooking and stirring until the chicken turns a nice golden brown. If you've timed it right, the rice should get done cooking at just about the same time. Put your rice in a bowl, add the chicken on top, and serve.

You'll notice I don't give any exact measurements for this, and that is by design. This is meant to be quick and simple, and adjustable to individual tastes. Experiment with it a bit to figure out what seasonings you like and in what amounts. It should turn out a little bit different each time you make this.

My lazy chicken and rice (or noodles) recipe:
Prep time: About 5 minutes. Total time: about 30 minutes

Ingredients:
- Frozen chicken breast tenderloins
- 5 minute rice (can substitute instant ramen)
- (optional) frozen veggies
- (optional) your favorite sauces

Put frozen chicken in a small baking pan and cook it in the oven until its fully thawed (about 10-15 minutes), then take it out and poke holes in it with a fork so the heat can permeate the whole thing, then continue cooking. If you have veggies, just throw them in the same pan with the chicken from the beginning. I sometimes use a bag of peppers and onions.
5 minutes before its finished, put the 5 minute rice in a pot and start cooking.
When the chicken is done, put it in a plate or bowl and cut it up, add the veggies, add the rice. Dump in some sauce and mix it up.

You can avoid having to wash the pan by lining it with aluminum foil. Once you are done just fold up the edges carefully to contain all the chicken juices, and dump it in the trash. I haven't found a way to avoid washing the pot the rice is cooked in.

Goddamn Zarx, are you a freshman in college? That's the second most lazy recipe I've ever heard.

For the record, the first was from back at one of my summer camps where a counselor told us how to make bachelor's nachos. Get a casserole pan, dump a bag of cool ranch Doritos in the bottom, top it off with a can of Spaghetti O's and a bag of shredded cheese. Cook in the oven until the cheese is melted.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly constitutes a "recipe" to you? more specifically, what disqualifies pzy's "Fairy Bread"? That seems pretty lazy to me, while both yours and Zarx's requires actual cooking.

.....is that it? Actual cooking? Did I just successfully answer my own question?

[SleeplessPanda]

A recipe is a recipe to me, no matter how simple, even something like a B.L.T. works. As long as we're not just talking about cooking frozen pizzas, hamburger helper, etc, it's all good. :party:

[urahara1001]

I suppose you could say it that way, though then you have to define what constitutes actual cooking. To my mind, it requires some form of preparation and work time. Just putting things together is not cooking to me. You don't cook a sandwich, you make a sandwich, because you are just assembling parts. Likewise, premade stuff I don't count as cooking, because you aren't doing anything to prepare it, you just stick it in the oven/microwave or whatever.

Also, I was fairly sure the fairy bread post was just to troll and pretty much disregarded it right away. If you were to make something like that, at the very least pick up a plain sponge cake and some actual frosting. You've got to go to the baking section for sprinkles anyway, so get them there.

OK, here's a simple one.

Smoky Mayo.
1 pouch Fajita seasoning,
2 Tbs Salad Oil
12 oz Mayo. (I prefer Kraft)

Mix Fajita season and oil
(consistency of a roux)
Blend into mayo..

>Pro Tip. Assuming you chose a squeeze bottle of
Mayo and mixed everything in a bowl, Spatula your mixture
into a Zip-Loc bag, seal, then cut the corner off of the bag
and refill your squeeze bottle.

theres a certain brand of rice that is added in small plastic packs which have small holes in them, you can cook them in the pack so theres less cleaning.


the layzyest desert ever.

a bowl of blueberries.
a cup or 2 of milk.
few spoons of sugar.

freeze the **** out of the blueberries.
then spingle em with sugar
then pour the milk, preferable on the sugar so it goes down, you wont be able to mix it since the milk will freeze from the berries.

grab a spoon and eat it BEFORE it thaws out.

Call pizza place. Have them send you some pizza. Wait. Pay pizza dude, receive pizza.

Here's an old recipe that was passed on to me by my grandfather a few years before he died:

"Grandpa Style Re-fried Beans"

-Cook half a pack of bacon in a large frying pan. Remove the bacon, leave the grease.
-Add in 4 cans of pinto beans after draining most of the water from each can.
-Season the beans with Lawry's Seasoning Salt and garlic powder.
-Shred a small block of jack cheese then throw that in with the beans.
-Cook on medium heat while using whatever available to mash the beans and its components.
-When everything becomes one, turn off the heat and let it sit for awhile to thicken.
-EAT IT. >:3

Goes best with flour tortillas, scrambled eggs and/or .. well, I can't think of much else, honestly it's delicious by itself.

The Sauce of (too) Many Meats:
2 large cans of tomato sauce
2-3 medium cans tomato paste
1 bottle of red wine (General rule: if you won't drink it, don't cook with it.)
1 large onion of your preference (I like using red)
1 package mushrooms.
2-3 bell peppers (bigger = better)
1 lb ground beef (substitute turkey if desired)
1 lb (hot) italian sausage
Garlic (pref fresh minced, but powered will do fine)
Italian seasonings (oregano, basil, thyme)
Parmesan, Asiago, and Romano cheese blends (make your own or buy pre-mixed)
1 bottle Capt Morgan Private Stock (stored in freezer until cold)
1 bottle Throwback Coke, Throwback Dr Pepper, or other dark cola made with real sugar (no HFCS), cold
1 movie you can walk away from but still entertaining enough

pre-prep:
pour 2 shots rum in collins glass, add soda to taste. drink.
start movie.

prep:
grate the cheeses if not pre grated/mixed
open all cans and mix contents at low/med heat in saucepan. add a small glass of wine to mix, as well as some of the grated cheese.
chop onions and bell peppers small
break up mushrooms if purchased whole, otherwise mix sliced mushrooms with the onions/green peppers.
simmer veggies in red wine using a good sized frying pan/skillet (same will be used for meats,) mixing in seasonings and part of the garlic until onions soften and veggies take on color of wine. add salt+pepper if desired.
Drink red wine if desired. or continue with the rum.
By now tomato sauce/paste should be warm enough to add veggies. do not wash pan.
Cook italian sausage first at a low heat, leaving in small/med chunks.
Once sausage cooked about 1/2 way, add ground beef. add seasonings to taste.
once sausage/beef cooked, add to sauce.
Let sauce cook for about 1 1/2 hrs total from prep time.

** add sugar if sauce too acidic, or crushed red pepper/sriracha to increase spicy.
** stir sauce regularly to keep it from burning on the bottom, burning the sauce will kill it.
Can be used as is with pasta (spaghetti or linguini). or to make LunaStarr Casserole, layer with rigatoni in a casserole dish, add dry hard Salami and/or Pepperoni to the top, and about 1lb blended cheddar/mozzarella cheese. We usually make the casserole the day after with leftover sauce.

....what's wrong with just using regular bread?

Cake and frosting are both more expensive....

Also, I believe this the is first thread that Panda has made and NOT been yelled at for. Congrats!

Dude, small individual sponge cakes are like a dollar for a package of three of them. Granted, when you figure it by volume it'll probably work out to be slightly more expensive than regular slices of bread, but the quality difference between the two would be instantly noticeable. Also, you can get a can of cheap frosting for about the same price as butter; it's less expensive to stock because it doesn't need to be refrigerated.

yeah, but you're FAR more likely to already have bread and butter regardless, so why not use ingredients you already have?

Besides that it's called sponge CAKE, so it wouldn't be fairy bread anymore. I'd suggest adding powdered sugar to the recipe though to improve flavor and appearance, since that's also a common ingredient.
