2 hours of cooking for a 10 minute meal sounds like a skill issue.

My last dinner was 12hrs of cooking for a 10min meal. I love slow cooker beef and veggies stew

leftovers are the goal
The term is meal prep
just cook bigger portions, i usually make enough food to last half a week
I’ve been eating the same two-pound portion of taco meat for the past four days. Usually in soft-shell tacos, but sometimes in frittatas. The trick is to be dead inside.
This is ideal because the tortilla IS the plate.
You're not dead inside until you move to hard tacos.

do you people just cook for a single meal wtf
If you’re Single yea why not
so you don't end up like the meme? idk what being single has to do with anything. if you're spending two hours to cook it better not be for one meal; that's a huge waste of time.
Slow cooker is fren
Turns beef into beef flavored chicken, I love it.
Make less elaborate meals or learn to chop faster.
I've seen people complain that loading and emptying the dishwasher takes an hour.

Weekly meal prep. Yeah it means repeated meals, but you can switch it up every week. It's the only way I get by. Plus I feed 5-6 people. So I'm not making one meal at a time, I'm making twenty or thirty.
We recently got an airfryer. it helps cut down prep time and ease of cleaning to the point I don't get upset about it anymore. Would highly recommend if you haven't got one already
2 hrs?
Do you spend 6 hrs a day cooking and do not do any clean as you go?
Wtf are you preparing? Are you stuffing a turkey each meal?
Get a dishwasher.
Meal prep, and cooking stuff that doesn't need much involvement.
I eat 6 meals per day when I'm trying to gain weight, and it can be done with very little time spent cooking.
Boiled chicken and rice with a side of protein shake doesn't count as food.
I haven't had the need for that in a long time. I've been working out for so long that my maintenance calories are 3700 right now. I can eat whatever I want and still hit my protein goal within my calorie budget
Meals in countries that take food seriously last longer and are meant to be enjoyed with family and friends. Its just our shitty culture that causes this problem.
