    I like it. Love me some Spam

  3. Maleficent_Wash7203

    Sardines on toast. It’s easy, cheap and I can pretend it’s decently healthy 

  4. ExoticReplacement163

    This looks decent enough, adding veggies to a thing is a go to can’t be bothered cooking move for me. Usually it’s a chicken or vegetable soup and I just add veggies or cold cuts I need to use up to make a sort of stew.

  5. CAN1976

    Bachelors curly pasta as the base, add mushrooms, peas, sweetcorn, spinach and chopped wafer thin ham

  7. 55MyFameIsBlame

    No you can’t show this and me tell you mine 😂 this looks well nice tbh! Mines just plain pasta and tinned meatballs….it’s my depression meal

  8. michalakos

    That looks great. Going through the effort of pan frying the Spam is what seals it for me, that’s a proper meal, just a quick one.

  9. Busy_Entertainment40

    Mayflower spicy curry sauce with some chopped chicken nuggets and a pouch of basmati rice.

  11. TheFoulMouthedPickle

    Same, but without the spam or broccoli and a slice of buttered bread on the side.

  12. Commercial_Hunt_9626

    Tonight I had salt & vinegar r crisps and extra hot Doritos with sour cream and chive dip for tea 🫣

  13. saladsdressing

    Ham egg and chips with peas.
    Pack of ham, oven chips, frozen peas, fry some eggs.
    Comforting and feels a bit like cooking without really cooking. I save it for rubbish days.

  14. Dizzy_Guest8351

    Stuff on toast. Mackerel, beans, or eggs are favourites. My shameful proper meal is tomato sauce from a jar and frozen plant-based meatballs with spaghetti.

  16. Tahlilgdan

    Mine is fried spam slices, rice and fried egg,

  17. ideal-view

    I just had some pek myself, with an omelette. That looks good op!

  18. driscollat1

    OP, our quick and easy meal is exactly the same, except with chicken instead of the diced pork-stuff.

  19. Saerjin

    I don’t eat it anymore but mine was x2 Chicago town microwave pizzas and a tin of baked beans. Yummy but terrible for me ha

  20. interfail

    We have very different ideas of “I can’t be bothered cooking”.

    If you got a knife out to slice your spam, that’s cooking. If you grilled/fried your spam, that’s cooking.

    “Can’t be bothered cooking” is a pot noodle with added chilli oil. It’s a peanut butter sandwich. It’s spreading Branston pickle on a whole block of cheddar. It’s chicken dippers with bbq sauce and a bottle of red.

  21. PatagonianSteppe

    This looks gourmet compared to my tomato sauce sandwich😔

  23. HairyLingonberry4977

    Applaud you man no shame no fear 👏

  24. BoutiqueKymX2account

    Oh yum! I make the mushroom one of those into a mushroom pasta soup thing by adding extra mushrooms loads of black pepper and butter a touch of cream and a chicken or veg stock cube (obviously mixed with enough water to make the soup) then dip in garlic baguette 🥖🤍

  25. mildperil_

    Breaded chicken mini fillets in a bun (Lancashire oven bottom muffin for preference) with mayo, lettuce and tomato. Only about five minutes work and absolutely delicious.

  26. BobbyMunson

    Chicken super noodles with chopped up smoked sausage.

  27. Bearjupiter

    Thats deadly

    Mine is anchovy butter pasta. Might make it tonight.

  28. BouncingDancer

    I mean it’s not even bad? You have veggies, carbs and protein, awesome if this is what you cook when you can’t be bothered.

  29. ReepDaggle01

    Thanks for this, I shall have a go at making it myself. I’ll probably just end up frying and eating the spam though.☺️ love me some spam

  31. twogunsalute

    Jacket potato. Part cook in microwave 80% power level for 3-4 mins depending on size, turn over and another 3-4 mins. Finish off in oven for 5-10 mins. Ideally top with tuna mayo/sweetcorn and cheese/baked beans and cheese but if I’m really lazy just cheese or cottage cheese and serve with salad

  32. Sir_Henry_Deadman

    I feel like I could eat that everyday for a long time then never again randomly

  33. Zerttretttttt

    Baked potatoes with cheese and pasta sauce, just chuck a potatoe in the oven, and add the pasta sauce and cheese for 5 mins at the end

  35. will1565

    Open tin of bean, insert brown sauce. Meal complete

  36. Fluffy_Roof3965

    I will chuck just chicken into the airfryer. honestly it might be the best meal ever.

  37. Bigcatsrule27

    Microwaving a couple of saussge rolls

  39. ItCat420

    I literally do the same as you OP 😅😂 except I diced some bacon and fry it nice and crispy, with onions and garlic, and then a few garden peas (they bang with Cheese Leek and Ham).

    Black pepper, some paprika, maybe a dash of tomato purée when frying the meat n veg.

    Cheap winner that one.

  40. Stupid_AI223

    “Can’t be bothered cooking” meanwhile shows cooking

  41. RipAromatic6989

    4 slices white bread, tin of beans with sausages and a fuck load of cheese 😎

  42. Lobotomy-in-Tesco

    An entire “sharing” bag of crisps

  43. megsbog1

    Either nothing or plain pasta with grated cheese

  44. Apprehensive_Sir805

    Medium rare buttery toast and a cup of tea.

    I have no shame in this though

  45. Kinteokolomee

    That looks pretty decent..

    And using two pans for cooking …..too much effort already

  47. GTST32

    I’m going to try this out because it looks amazing ❤️
