[slugg]

College students need easy to make food than can be made in a lowsy, dorm kitchen. Let's all share our ideas!

Right now I'm eating spaghetti and meatballs. Recipe:

Ingredients:
- Store bought meatballs
- Store bought tomato sauce
- Store bought pasta
- Parmesian Cheese
- Salt

How-To:
- Boil the pasta
- Cook the meatballs with the sauce
- Combine the 2
- Add salt and parmesian cheese to taste

I somtimes add some hot sauce.
ANYONE CAN MAKE THIS and it's yummy.

Estimated cooking time: 10 minutes
Servings: Anywhere from 2 to 20, depending on how much you make and how much you eat.

Well, I have heard that the best seeds come from Amsterdam.

Uh, you can make just about anything if you have a stove/oven available to you. Your limiting factor will be cabinet/fridge space.

 

[chorb]

top ramen + water (preferably hot)

yep

 

[Crono]

- Toast 2 slices of whole wheat bread
- Fry an egg on pan with teaspoon or so of vegetable oil
- Put fried egg in between slices of bread

Add ketchup, mayo (I usually put on bottom slice), tabasco sauce, salt + pepper, cheese, pepper slices etc to your tastes. You can make the egg(s) omelette style if you wish.
To save even more money, you can make the bread yourself using the famously cheap and delicious ATOT bread recipe.

If you have a crock pot, it's really cheap and easy to make roast, potatoes, carrots and gravy for a whole group of guys.

Also, baking a turkey is usually really cheap and surprisingly easy....make sure you have some sauce or gravy b/c it can get dry.

I assume you are looking for cheap meals - both of those are good leftovers too.

I've done that, works well. I prefer to use honey mustard instead of (or in addition, you can make half-half) mayo.

tortilla + shredded cheddar + salsa + microwave = quick meal

 

[Crono]

- Brown ground beef in skillet
- Add salt, pepper, and tabasco sauce (or other hot sauce or spice mix)
- put on warmed pita bread or tortilla
- sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese (or other cheese or cheese combo), and microwave or warm on stovetop
- Add sour cream and/or salsa if desired, add tomato and lettuce if desired, wrap it up and eat

 

[jteef]

1 pkg uncle bens microwave rice in the pouch
1 pkg tyson frozen chicken strips OR the louis rich chicken strips in the deli section if you dont have a freezer
1 pkg tortillas
some flavorings (i use taco sauce)

basically make burritos that are 10 times healthier than the premade kind if you use the right rice and wheat tortillas

 

[Crono]

Pizza is also rediculously easy to make. You can make dough from scratch (mmm, whole wheat), buy it from supermarket, or improvise with pita bread, bagels (when pizza's on a bagel, you can eat pzza anytime...), english muffins, etc.

All you have to do is buy pasta sauce (you can make this yourself for better flavor), pour and spread onto dough (or other base), add shredded mozzerella, and put in oven for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Voila! You have easy, delicious pizza. Add thinly sliced onions, mushrooms, peppers, etc (helps to sautee them before putting on pizza) or your favorite toppings with the cheese for a ltitle variety.

2 girls
1 bottle of liquor

Get one of those little water boiler/rice cooker things. Can be used for anything from cooking rice to boiling pasta, boiling ramen, steaming vegetables, cooking eggs... I even made an international breakfast before. Used it to cook 1 pancake at a time, then scrambled some eggs and frozen farmer john sausages.

Here's your damned dinner.

 

[joesmoke]

3 ft wide clear tubing
1 twist valve
1 funnel
over 9000 beers

 

[LtPage1]

1 can of beans
1-3 eggs
some chopped onion
tons of garlic
as many chopped vegetables as you can get your hands on
some cheese

Sauté the onion & vegetables, add the garlic, wait for it to start to brown, add the beans, add the cheese, wait until the beans get hot and the cheese starts to melt, add the eggs, stir until the eggs are cooked, and eat. Mmmm, beans&eggs. Sometimes I throw in some rice, but that takes longer.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

phone + $ = pizza

 

[Mo0o]

1. Walk to cafeteria
2. Buy food
3. Eat food

Alternative

1. Call delivery
2. Pay for food
3. Wait for food to be delivered
4. Eat food

I didnt cook a damn thing while living in the dorms in college

 

[slugg]

I see some pretty awesome ideas. Thanks guys! Now I gotta get a crock-pot... mmmm....

 

[DayLaPaul]

Just set it and forget it.

A dorm kitchen?
Is this more like an apartment, or what?

At my campus, the "dorms" had a small fridge and a microwave in the room.
The campus "apartments" were more livable. There were two bedrooms, with two people each, plus a livingroom and kitchen/diningroom. The kitchen had a 4-burner range with oven, a two-section sink, a full-size refrigerator, and a4-person dining table.

Is that "apartment" description what you've got to work with?
