Personal stuff that I make all the time. Sadly I've been cooking long enough to do all this by eye so I have no idea quite how much I actually use.
Chili That Will Probably Underwhelm You
-1 med. can red kidney beans
-1 med. can chili beans or black beans, whatever you like
-1 med can of crushed tomatoes/tomato sauce
-About a half tablespoon of tomato paste
-1.5 lbs 93% lean ground beef, chopped finely and browned
-2 large jalapeno peppers, chopped finely.
-Moderate amount of chili powder (about 5-7 tablespoons, depends on how much you're making)
-Moderate amount of cumin (Teaspoon to 3 teaspoons. To taste, really.)
-roughly a teaspoon and a half of smoked paprika (Flavor can be overpowering, be careful)
-Salt and pepper to taste
Throw it all in a slowcooker for 7 hours, stir occasionally, voila, dinner for 2 days.
Beans
---
-Fresh green beans, ends removed
-Salt
-pepper
-garlic
-Half a medium lemon
-Olive oil
Put a moderate amount of olive oil in a pan, heat oil until lightly smoking. Toss in beans, use spatula or similar instrument to toss about, allowing them to cook for about 2 minutes. Add around 2.5 teaspoons of chopped/crushed garlic, stir into the beans thoroughly. Add in plentiful amounts of salt and pepper, cook until beans are lightly browned, heated through, but still crunchy while stirring consistently (basically, sauted) Squeeze half a lemon's worth of juice into beans, stir more, heat for around 30 more seconds, and serve.
Beans and Rice. Seriously, it's absurdly easy.
-----
-Red beans |-I buy my beans in cans, so you want to buy a medium can of black and a small can of red, if not, it's about a cup of black and a half cup of red.
-black beans |
-Cayenne pepper (powder)
-cumin
-Green onion/scallion
-Long grain white/brown rice. (Buy a 5lbs bag, this shit keeps for like 4 months if you keep it dry and in a sturdy bag and rice is absurdly useful)
-Salt and pepper
Prepare the appropriate amount of water for your rice, throw about a tablespoon of cayenne or chili powder (preferably cayenne, it'll have a lot of heat but you should be doing like 6-8 cups of rice so it'll spread.) Throw a teaspoon of cumin into the water too. Prepare your rice and open your beans (drain some, but not all of the liquid off) Toss the beans into the rice, alongside the remaining liquid, mix very thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste, top with scallions.
Delicious, filling, and absolutely guaranteed to be impossible to mess up.
(For the beans and rice, add about a cup and a half of vegetable or chicken stock if you think the dish needs more flavour.)

Hamburger helper is always a good one. But do what I do and spice it up a bit. We add stuff like garlic, pepper, salt, lemon pepper. Hell, it really dends on what kind it is.
We have even mixed in Black Eyed peas, shredded cheese, whole kernal corn. The possibilities are endless. Just got to find the things that go good together.
Example. Take a box (or 2) with of strogginof hamburger helper and one poiund of ground beef (Or deer meat) and can of mushrooms and a jar of 4 cheese alfredo sause. Man, that shit is the bomb

Oyakodon (parent and child on rice)
(For something a little more exotic!)
Ingredients (for two)
1 tablespoon dashi powder (https://www.japancentre.com/en/produ...i-stock-powder)
2 tablespoons mirin (https://www.japancentre.com/en/produ...tyle-seasoning)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (dark)
The above can be adjusted for taste - more mirin makes it sweeter, more soy sauce makes it savoury.
300g chicken thighs (chopped to bite-size)
1 onion (thinly sliced)
2 shiitake mushrooms (sliced)
1 spring onion (finely chopped)
4 eggs (beaten)
200 ml water
Freshly steamed Japanese rice (I steam about 150g per person in a rice cooker)
To cook
1) Add dashi powder to water in a small pot, bring to a simmer.
2) Add chicken thighs, simmer until cooked (~5 minutes)
3) Add onion and shiitake, simmer some more (~5 minutes)
4) Add beaten egg, let it cook for one or two minutes. The ideal texture is slightly runny, so that residual heat finishes cooking it in the bowl.
5) Pour mixture over fresh rice, garnish with the spring onion.
6) Serve, and I hope you enjoy my favourite comfort dish!
