I suck at cooking. Name some easy-to-make foods that taste good?

Question

So far I like Easy Mac, Pizza Rolls and Elios Pizza. Is there anything else that's easy to make and tastes good?

Answer 1

One dish casseroles and crock pot meals.

Answer 2

Pasta is pretty easy to make. You just boil it and can buy pre-made sauces, or can easily make your own depending on what you like. All you need are chopped tomatoes, herbs, salt, pepper and whatever meat you'd like generally as basics.

Tacos are easy too, especially if you buy a taco kit. You just have to cook and season the meat (about 10 mins) and then put whatever you want in them (cheese, salsa, etc).

Hot dogs are incredibly easy - you just need sausages/frankfurters and bread rolls!

You can also make jacket potatoes, just put the potato in the microwave for a bit first, then the oven, and you can put melted cheese and other things on top.

However, healthy food that tastes better is usually a little bit harder to make, but not that much. You can make a really delicious meal out of fresh ingredients that tastes a thousand times better than pre-cooked stuff in about 20 minutes or so.

Answer 3

Try a pasta.

Put a large sliced onion, about 10 oz of sliced baby portabella mushrooms and a tablespoon of minced garlic (get the jarred kind, don't mince it yourself) into a hot skilled with some olive oil. let them soften and then add about 12 oz of Italian sausage (I use the kind that comes in a tube by Bob Evans), break up into small pieces as it fries with a wooden spoon. Let that brown and then take your favorite store bought tomato sauce and pour it over the top. Let it simmer and then put over top of cooked angel hair pasta with some fresh mozzerella cheese. Doesn't get any easier than that.

Try a pot roast. It takes a long time, but there's really very minimal work involved.

Buy a chuck roast, cut it into pieces, and put it into a roasting pan. Add sliced carrots, a sliced onion, about three tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce and a few shots of soy sauce. Put in a can of crushed tomatoes. You could put some cut up potatoes in there too, but I prefer to serve it over mashed potatoes later. Throw in two beef bullion cubes (you want the beef flavor without all the extra liquid). Add in about a cup of water and let it cook at 375 for four hours or until the meat is so tender it falls apart.

Do country fried chicken.

Buy some chicken breasts, dip them in egg and then into a seasoned flour mixture (you can make your own, but I prefer to buy the Kentucky fry flour at the grocery store). Fry until crisp on both sides in some olive and then transfer to a baking dish. Bake at 375 for about 35-45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temp of about 170. Serve with mashed potatoes or a cooked bag of frozen veggies.

When cooking is so easy there's no need to live off of frozen pizza.

Answer 4

My favourite recipe:
Marinate some chicken wings/drumsticks in chopped garlic and ginger, and soy sauce (add some water otherwise it would be really salty). Then roast with honey. This makes great finger food/starters/picnic food!

A quicker recipe:
Place some chicken breasts (1 per person) into an ovenproof dish with broccoli and carrots. Mix a can of Campbells chicken soup according to the label and stir in a pinch of curry powder, then add to the chicken and veg. Bake in the oven for 45mins to an hour on 190C. Serve with jacket potatoes. Yummy!

Answer 5

Anything that comes in a box, a can, or a freezer tends to taste good and is easy to make. However you may end fat with zits and clogged arteries (aka unhealthy) ;)
Soup is really easy to make, absolutely delicious, and good for you too. Just google soup recipes. You'll never get good at cooking if you don't try!!

Answer 6

Chicken breasts in mushroom soup sauce. Easy and delicious. Brown the chicken breasts in a pan and pour in a can of mushroom soup add about half a can of water. Cover and simmer about 25 minutes (depending on how big the breasts are and if the have bones in or not with bones it takes longer about 10 minutes)

Yum, on rice or noodles or alone.

Answer 7

Look on Campbell's soup labels and a Bisquick box, simple, easy to follow recipes that are yummy.

Answer 8

Why do no longer you're making an omelette. healthy, rapid, no longer processed and placed in spite of you like in it. additionally it somewhat is delicious!!! 2 Eggs jumbled in a cup with a fork.
