    I’ve gone vegetarian, but my old go to for a special meal that took basically no effort? Boiled pot roast.

    You take a pot. Any kind as long as it fits the roast. You put the roast in. Add seasoning. Add water. Let it boil for a few hours. When you’re ready to eat it it’s probably long since finished. Yeah, you can put it in a crock pot or an oven pan or whatever but I didn’t have those. Used this method to make corned beef brisket as a Christmas thing for awhile.

    Now that I’m vegetarian? Hamburger helper. Fry some vegetarian hamburger. Add pasta. Add water and seasoning. Let simmer til done.

      I’m not from the US, what does “Hamburger” mean in this context? Are you chopping up the (not-) beef patty and putting that in the pasta?

          Ahh, I never would have guessed that. I’d just call it “mince” (beef implied unless stated otherwise), or as you’ve called it, “minced beef”.
