Well, I am always whipping up some type of quick and moderately cheap meals daily when busy working.

Here are a few:
Cabbage stew (fucking delicious)
Goulash (german dish I believe)
S.O.S. (Yes, shit on a shingle. If you don't know what it is, just ask. It's amazing.)
Spaghetti (can't go wrong)
Macaroni and cheese mixed with tuna (Huge servings, saves for a long time)
Of course sandwiches
BLT's
Hamburger helper
Occasional burgers on the grill

Quite a few more, but I'm looking for new ideas.
What is your favorite 1,2,3 meal?
 


pbj
frozen pizzas
frozen chicken nuggets, wings, strips
garlic fingers
cereal
meal replacement shakes
oatmeal
eggs
 
tacos/burritos
any meat on the clearance shelf at the local grocer with a microwaved baked potato
salmon cakes and potato soup
the crock pot is your friend with the next three just set it and forget it
beef stew
chili
gumbo
and one of my own creations
grilled peanut butter,jelly, and cheese (provolone)
 
make yourself a plate of rice (you can get a box of instant rice for like $4) and heat up a can of beef stew and pour it over that. toss in some tapatio if you like spicy food.

Fucking amazing

Do Meal replacement shakes work?

Damn straight.

2 scoops protein powder
2 tbsp pb
1 banana
20 oz. almond milk
whatever else

drink that shit down and you're full of solid energy for 2-4 hours.

Every weekend I hard boil a shitload of eggs, make a pot of rice, and cut up a shitload of broccoli, cauliflower, onion, pepper, mushroom, green beans, potatoes, etc. Eat it all over the course of the work week.

Quick meals:

taco salad: crushed corn chips, heated refried beans, lettuce, tomato, onion, pepper, black olive, salsa. Dump in a bowl, stir, shovel. ~5 min.

egg in the hole: take a hole out of the middle of a slice of bread & fry an egg in it. ~5 min.

easy curry: canned chick peas, frozen veggies, tomato paste, curry powder. Saute veggies & chickpeas, add curry then add tomato paste. Excellent with bread or chips. ~10 min.

heavy duty miso soup: miso paste, scallions, seaweed, tofu. Throw it all into two cups of water and heat it. Use lots of every ingredient and it's a full-on meal. ~5 min.

When I was little my dad made his own version of SoS for breakfeast (it was a sauge patty on a piece of toast with gravy on top). I asked him why it was called shit on a shingle he said it was a military thing. In the military it's actually chipped beef with some kinda funky white sauce.
 
hummus + pita bread
prosciutto, pickled red peppers and provolone
grilled cheese sandwich + tomato soup
plate of raw vegetables + yogurt/mayo dip - celery, carrots, mushroom, green peppers etc.
green smoothie - usually 2 bananas, an apple and baby spinach + water
smashed cauliflower w/ cheddar cheese
black bean soup
ham and cheese on rye
toasted rolled oat cereal w/ sunflower seeds, walnuts, blueberries and strawberries
omelette w/ cheddar, onions and green pepper + hash browns, bacon
hard boiled eggs + blueberry waffles

2 red bulls and a hit of meth usually gives me enough energy until dinner tomorrow.

on the real end of things, I really can't stand mac & cheese. Too bland.
 
I eat Jimmy Johns atleast 3x a week for lunch. Place an order on their website and literally they show up within 5-7 minutes and I'm eating. If you live near a JJ try it out, it's epic.

Yeah man, I make it with a piece of toast with gravy and beef on top. It's amazing. Literally a piece of toast with a pile of shit on top. But it's the most delicious pile of shit I've ever eaten.
