What are some good/simple recipes for a single college student?

when I was back on a super tight budget I had to come up with tastey cooking too. Here are some that I make even today. I think they're real nice.


--Saute some onions and garlic and tomato with a can of tuna, add salt and pepper, cumin, paprika, a little water to make creamy, cook for about 5 minutes and serve with some rice.


--Put a chicken in a roasting pan with some chopped potatoes, carrots, onions, other vegs you want, and rub the chicken with some olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper. You can add whatever spices you like. Bake covered at 350 for about an hour. If you like it browned on top take the lid off for the last 15 min.





--fried rice:


saute chopped onions, garlic, green onions, green pepper, in some oil. when soft add cooked white rice. stir and then add a scrambled egg. add a couple TBS soy sauce and mix through. (You can add anything you want to this, cooked chicken pieces, peas, corn, potatoes, very versitile.)What are some good/simple recipes for a single college student?
Hot open faced roast beef sandwich





Go to the Deli and buy you some thin sliced roast beef, either regular or Cajun


And some Swiss cheese


Purchase you some brown gravy, they sell it in a can, or in a package, you just add water and bring to a boil


Now make some mashed potatoes, drain, add butter, salt,pepper and a splash of milk


Now lay a slice of bread on your plate, heap on the mashed potatoes, now Swiss cheese, now roast beef, now gravy

Texas Tommies are simple, cheap and tasty! Enjoy!





Ingredients: hot dog, hot dog bun (even better on soft sub roll), bacon, provolone cheese





Preheat broiler.





Microwave 2 pieces of bacon. While that's cooking, cut hot dog length-wise and fry in pan for a couple minutes on both sides.





Separate bun and put on baking pan. Place hog dog on bun, with bacon on top. Top that with 2 pieces of provolone. Place under broiler. The top bun will get toasted before the cheese is melted on the other half, so take top bun out when lightly browned, then butter it. By the time you're done doing that, the cheese is melted and it's ready to eat!





My husband LOVES these! They take about 5 mins to make. Enjoy!
