My bachelor chow is a cup of cooked rice, a pound of ground meat, a bag of mixed frozen veggies, and a bag of mukimame (shelled edamame). Put the rice in the cooker, cook the ground beef in a pot, mix in the veggies, mix in the mukimame, add whatever seasonings I feel like, add in the cooked rice, serve. Cheap (or at least it was until meat prices went crazy, I may have to try it with spam instead), fast, only dirties three dishes.
My go-to lazy meal is rice, a can of baked beans, and a can of spam. Make the rice, dice the spam and fry it in a pan, then mix everything together.
I call it Bachelor Chow
*Now with flavor!

I haven’t had it with the beans but if you use day old rice and fry it with the spam and toss in some sesame oil. A little salty but it’s damn tasty.
That’s basically fried rice. Try beating an egg and tossing it in the pan before the rice, and then maybe a handful of those cheap mixed vegetables.
That was another staple of mine when I was thin and single.
