Hello, people who eat food. I think it's fair to say that we all get hungry, but not all of us have time to make gourmet meals every night. So, this is for the busy (or lazy — no judgment here!) cooks out there: What is your favorite minimal effort meal that always comes in clutch?

Fox

We're talkin' easy and DELICIOUS recipes that don't require a lot of ingredients or directions.

Paramount

Or, ones that are pretty darn cheap because...inflation.

TBS

Heck, maybe they don't even require a stovetop or any sort of baking at all. (Because some of us burn stuff easily. 🙋‍♀️)

CBC

And maybe they're even meals for people with soft teeth!!!

NBC

Either way, we want recipes that would make your family THINK you spent hours in the kitchen when you absolutely did not.

ABC

So, let us know in the comments! Share your favorite simple recipe, and you could be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post — and maybe, I will actually make some to test them out for a review!
