Hot dogs and baked beans. Dump can of beans in the pot and add hot dogs. Place over heat source until hot. You can make regular hotdogs if you have bread and eat the beans as a side or directly on top of the hotdogs. If you have no bread, eat as is. Delicious, cheap, and easy

Pasta with tomato sauce and cheese on top. So good! My grandma used to do it for me all the time when she was babysitting, makes me nostalgic.

Pizza – how is no one mentioning pizza… The whole invention of pizza is out of need… If you don’t go to a expensive pizza place and make it yourself you can eat pizzas for less than a euro.
