Give me simple filling dinner ideas

FI is coming home and I have been instructed to have dinner waiting (he's been gone all week and he'll be hungry...)

So it needs to be as friendly to those that hate everything as possible. Seriously he doesn't eat fruits, doesn't eat many vegetable, and loves everything terrible for him. 

What would you feed him?

  • Lasagna. Everybody loves lasagna. 
  • My bf is a picky eater and RAVES over this. Actually, anyone I serve it to raves over it. Super super easy. And very tasty.

  • Grill something! Hamburgers, brats, steaks? THen throw some potatoes on the side!
  • What sorts of things do you normally cook? If you have less than an hour probably not a good idea to be trolling for new recipes to try, haha. Just pull out something tried and true that you know he likes that you have made before? If all else fails, pancakes? Waffles?

    Ditto this!  DH would love an awesome steak with some roasted potatoes and an ice cold beer upon arrival with a promise of some sex later!  He would be in heaven.

  • DH is the same way- he hates pretty much anything healthy. He like a basic chicken casserole. Cook some noodles, we usually use egg noodles but any kind will work, cook up some chicken then cut it into pieces. In a 9x13 pan combine the chicken, noodles, and a couple cans of cream of chicken soup. Top with shredded cheese and/or crumbled ritz crackers and heat in the oven till hot. 

    Its super forgiving so you don't have to be too exact with anything.

  • We cook smoked turkey sausage with frozen broccoli and place over rice/cous cous/pasta. You can add red pepper flakes and/or parmasean. 

     

  • Burgers on the grill sound good!  Do you have any grocery that has 'gourmet' burgers pre made?  Some kind of bacon-y one with cheese and pretzel rolls are yummy!

    Speaking of bacon....a "manly" quiche?  With crumbled bacon, sausage and cheese.  Maybe some roasted potatoes as a side. 

    Now the potatoes made me think of Shepherd's pie, you could puree some of the veggies and it would almost be like just potatoes and gravy.

  • This is my favorite thing to eat lately.  Cook ramen noodles like it says on the package.  Throw in some torn-up spinach, and some cut-up rotisserie chicken if you have it.  Then, when you take it off the stove, break two eggs into it and stir them all around.  They cook in the hot water and make this crazy delicious creamy noodle dish.  It's really simple, but it's like crack.

    That does sound yummy!
