When I'm home alone, I'll sometimes revert to my "first apartment" mood and cook spaghetti with Campbell tomato soup in it, added with sautรฉed onions, mushrooms, hotdog sausages, and add cheese in it.
Is probably better than the crappiest thing I could come up with, but I wouldn't serve that too an adult. But maybe to children.
I haven't had this in a while but one if my lazy bachelor meals was baked potatoes with kim chee and sour cream.
There's a banked potato spot in my city that sells just baked potatoes with like 50 variations on the menu. You can get a baked potato topped with anything from chilly to brisket, vegetables, etc
Not regularly, but my family was super poor for awhile and our delicacies then are my comfort food now.
We loved hot dog weiners in the Kraft dinner, which is a fair approximation because we couldn't afford KD back then. Ground pepper, and also ketchup when we could afford to be fully blasphemous.
Mom makes a wicked liver-and-onions, but I suspect it wasn't liver so much as tongue, as it was cheap as hell back then. My sister knows the truth and she will.not eat 'liver' again.
Blasphemy and lies, that's it.
My ex's family had this prized dish: you warm milk with pieces of bread chucked in there, add sugar. Then you put cinnamon on top.
It was this weird milky-bready cinnamon soup that actually tasted pretty great and was perfect on a cold day, or whenever she needed some TLC food
Sounds like an easy bread pudding :)
My parents had that as youth, they called it Milk Sop
Toasted bread with blue cheese, a fried egg, hot sauce and maple syrup on top.
Sounds like something I'd pay 16$ to have served by a malnourished hipster on a cutting board to a table lit by a bar bulb as an appetizer.
Instant noodles, peanut butter, and sriracha. Crack an egg in near the end.
It's actually pretty close to pad thai, but screams of struggle meal
Bun, brat, mustard, sourkraut. If there is a pack of malt vinegar in the drawer, that too.
Thatโs just a hotdog, no?
Hobo salad: Canned kidney beans, canned sweetcorn, canned tuna, salad dressing. If I'm feeling fancy/not lazy I'll add some chopped shallots or scallions.
Pasta with ketchup instead of tomato sauce
Rice with ketchup
Ketchup with ketchup
I love ketchup
Tamale pie- canned corn, chili (no beans bc blegh), canned tamales (really these are even optional despite the name of the dish), and Swiss cheese all melted together in ooey gooey goodness.
Also I love the raw dough from those biscuits in the can that pops
I bake a mean creamy chicken (like you'd find in a pot pie) but, for whatever fucking reason, I absolutely love that flavor spliced with white vinegar. I have a deep love of pushing tangy sour to the border of spiciness.
I call it the cinco de mayo revenge: Laughing Cow cheese (itโs French) melted in a tortilla.
...my mother-in-law (and wife) do that with vietnamese french bread...
Sourdough with chunky peanut butter, ground mustard, and aioli.

Hell no Iโd rather starve
Cold baked beans straight from the tin, eaten with a spoon. I'm grinning thinking of my dinner guests' faces as they contemplate their tins.
Toast, mayo, fried egg, salt. Then a liberal amount of Daveโs ghost pepper sauce on top, like a teaspoon.
Iโm the only person I know of who will eat this specific hot sauce. Other hot sauce lovers will not touch it, because it tastes like capsaicin extract and poison. But Iโm weirdly addicted to it. I own better tasting sauces but they donโt scratch the itch the right way.
Cream of wheat but then you put a gloop of fruit yoghurt on top. Delicious probiotic fruit gruel.
2nd place goes to microwaved potato
