Dadslop/Momslop - Simple meals made in an Instant Pot or skillet that take no effort but taste delicious

[Shart Attack]

I think it's amazing that it took less than a decade for an entire generation to adopt a pidgin language that's only barely mutually intelligible with real English.

Slop here has a positive connotation. I call the code I write "codeslop" all the time. I call the ridiculous conversations my wife and I "talkslop". Slop is such a beautiful term.

This is stupid, and you should feel bad about yourself.

Myself being of the latter category, I have developed several slop meals that take virtually zero effort but are amazingly delicious. Post your own in the replies.

My slop meals:

Ground Beef Sauce + Pasta

- Add chopped or minced onions/garlic to a skillet if desired and cook over medium heat with a pinch of salt, until aromatic and soft.
- Add 1-1.5lbs of ground beef and cook over medium-high heat.
- Break up into small pieces and stir and shake until everything's fully browned and no pink remains.
- Drain the beef into a sealable container. You'll want to save this, tallow is liquid gold.
- Add 1-1.5 cans of storebought pasta sauce of any flavor of your choice. Mix until beef is fully immersed.
- Increase heat to high until boiling, then decrease heat to low.
- Add lots of salt, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes (if desired), and any other seasonings of choice.
- Stir in, and let simmer for 20 minutes for a liquid consistency or up to 60 minutes for a thicker, beefier sauce.
- Cook pasta of choice according to package instructions.
- Serve sauce over pasta with shredded cheese.

This is not slop, this is pasta with meat sauce. You didn't "develop" this. It's a basic recipe that has existed for centuries. I know you aren't asking for advice, but you could easily replace the jars of premade pasta sauce with crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce, plus a little tomato paste, for an extremely basic red sauce. You would just need to increase the minimum cooking time from 20 minutes to at least 45 minutes for the acidity to mellow out more. The only arguable advantage to using fuckin' Ragu would be to have a pre-seasoned sauce or to save time. You're already sautéing onions and garlic, adding seasonings, and cooking it for an hour. You're taking the time and going through all the steps to make your own sauce anyway, so there's no reason to use premade shit as an ingredient.

Holy shit, I make a thread about simple recipes that everyone can enjoy and you fucking retards have to be niggers about it. This is like Reddit x4.

You tell me this, like I should believe you. Ok but then Ill also believe this is the reason your wife no longer gives you “sloppy toppy”

My wife doesn't give me "sloppy toppy" because that's sodomy which is a sin.

 

[Bofa Shekelstein]

so there's no reason to use premade shit as an ingredient.

I don't feel like going through the extra steps because where I live it is dramatically cheaper to get a jar of tomato sauce than it is to get a can of crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste separately. Learn to have some positivity and quit browsing Reddit

My thinking was "questionable shit your parents ate" like my dad eating Oreos+fruit cocktail or classics like "canned peaches+cottage cheese"

my pop's go to dessert he would make was a Suzy Q snack cake and he'd just dump half a can of cherries or blueberries or some other canned fruit on it and call it a night. it's not bad but not good either

See that makes sense, they make all kinds of fruit-soaked cakes and just by description, that sounds tasty...but oreos don't have a texture that works with canned fruit at all, it would be either too grainy and hard or totally soaked and dissolving. Your dad knows what's up

 

[Oh Darn]

Hamburger stroganoff and creamed tuna were slop mainstays growing up. Still taste comfy to me.

Are casseroles considered Momslop or Dadslop?

Are casseroles considered Momslop or Dadslop?

The term depends on who made them. A casserole by your mom is momslop, a casserole by your dad is dadslop.

There are no extra steps. I suggested replacing one ingredient that comes out of a can with one or two different ingredients that also come out of a can. Nothing about your process would change. Ragu and the like are marginally cheaper than canned tomatoes because the primary ingredient is water. When you boil it down to make a "thicker, beefier sauce," you're boiling off your cost savings. It's just a suggestion, which you clearly intend to ignore.

My mom's go-to easy weeknight meals were no-peek pork chops,


speck und bohnen,


and what the honkies in the Pittsburgh area call haluski.

 

[MerelyAPlateOfSpaghetti]

speck und bohnen

Definitely thick bacon slices and green beans, in America the same dish name might look more like "ham and navy bean" style soup.

I need to make pinto beans and cornbread...

 

[Bofa Shekelstein]

Ragu and the like are marginally cheaper than canned tomatoes

Not marginally, significantly. Well over 3x cheaper. Not that it matters because dicing the onions is already enough, effort especially considering that both of my hands only have 2 functioning fingers each.

What all is in that? Looks delicious

Sorry bro but I feel like you need to be more careful with those knives! Seriously though, sucks to hear. What's the reason? Carpal tunnel syndrome got my dad pretty bad, so surely that's in my future.

It's just sautéed cabbage and onions, boiled egg noodles, and kielbasa tossed in a pot. This recipe is close to how my mom would make it.

I don’t know why people complain about crock pot meals, always been good to me .

People who complain about it are people expecting fancy food porn dishes every night. My mom made a really good crockpot balsamic beef that I still need to get the recipe for. That with some mashed potatoes was S tier.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Put some chicken in a slow cooker with your favorite barbecue sauce, wait a few hours, pull it apart, and enjoy. I like Stubb's because he was a real ass nigga.

Easy Beans - Just toss some beans in the microwave (no dish/pot/pan required). Turn the microwave to maximum for the fastest results. Give it a 10 minutes and scrape the beans out and enjoy. Very good, 6/10, so easy.

 

[Pee Cola]

Not sure if this counts as there's no pot or skilled involved, but one of my usual go-to stupidly easy meals is a baked potato topped with bacon and cheese slaw.

Then there are the pasta sauces. I can make a cromulent napolitana sauce from a tin of crushed Italian tomatoes, some dried mixed herbs and a teaspoon of crushed garlic in under 5 minutes including cooking time. Throw in a can of those little smoked oysters and you have a seafood pasta sauce (I call it "ghetto marinara").

Both of these sauces are ludicrously cheap and easy to make, and taste decent.

Genetic Fibromyalgia alongside the unfortunate choice to be a goalkeeper, causing me to tear 4 of my fingers and strain two beyond repair.

Oven meals count, casseroles are usually made in the oven and are universally agreed upon by moms and dads alike to be awesome

For dinner tonight I had some canned turkey chili over rice with some cheddar cheese melted on top.

It was great.

All I had to cook was the rice.

I love doing that, super easy "I'm half dead and don't feel like cooking" kinda meal.

I like adding a little habañero sauce, red pepper flakes and some jarred queso to mine to spice it up that extra bit.
