Mine isn’t really a “Meal”, I used to put margarine spread on white bread and sprinkle a tiny bit of cinnamon and sugar on it as a sweet treat growing up.

Scramble some eggs plain and mix into rice and some canned corn. Butter + Sriracha + soy/tamari . We call it “bachelor stir-fry” and it’s especially good if you can get your paws on some sesame oil!
A former partner taught me that a drop or two of sesame oil in most things give a nice umami kick.
Hot dogs with white bread instead of a bun goes CRAZY imo
It’s like eating with a time limit!
Do you lay the hot dog diagonally?
Cut the hot dog lengthwise. Brown it in a skillet. Hot dog sandwich.
Disassembled hot dog
Graham crackers with whipped cream on top. This one was very much the bottom of the barrel. 🥲
Ghirardelli brownie mix from Costco, filled up to about 1/3 of a mug mixed with milk and microwaved for 45 seconds to make a little brownie. Serve with ice cream on top, or with a glass of milk. I actually still do this one, it is delicious and costs basically $0 per serving.
Rice + milk + sugar and then mixed up in a bowl into a kind of puree. This goes great as a dessert after rice + frozen vegetables sauteed up from those massive Costco bags lol. If you’re feeling bougie you can shred some cheese on top.
Hotdogs in ramen, hands down.
Our poverty “treat” as kids was toast with tomato sauce and a slice of government cheese, for a makeshift pizza.
We would put hot dogs in Mac N Cheese but never ramen, I did learn recently that some people put hot dogs in spaghetti and I wanted to try it but my husband absolutely refuses.
Hot dogs in spaghetti is the bomb. Add some butter and grated cheese and mmmmm delicious
Rice and beans. Mine are usually white rice and black beans. Beans cooked with a little onion, green pepper and garlic. Salt and pepper. Hot sauce.
I eat it regularly, to the point I have a tiny slow cooker that I pretty much just use to cook beans.
Toast bread with a bit of ketchup and a slice of cheese on top, sprinkle a bit of salt if necessary, then bake until the cheese bubbles. I call it the poor man’s pizza.
“stuggle” ?
damn its been like that all day and you’re the first person to point it out.
One might say it was quite a stuggle.
Elbow macaroni and pasta sauce
Cook 2 bags of ramen and strain it. Add a can of tomato soup and some cheddar. I like to call them regrettios.
2nd up is ghetto pizzas. Make some toast put on tomato sauce and cheese also pepperoni if you can afford it
Bacon and white rice with pickles.
Cup of steamed rice. Small tin of tuna - I like the lemon and cracked pepper ones. Splash of soy sauce. 30 seconds in the microwave.
I dry nori sheets out, crush them up and put them in an old pepper mill. Few grinds into a bowl of tuna and rice with a splash of soy and its a ghetto sushi bowl.
I had water on stale bread with sugar 💀
Fried bologna sandwich!
This was a staple growing up! I still fry some up from time to time, but now we use “fancy” thick bologna because we’re bougie.
M’Lord
Rice and black eyed peas, cooked with some millet leaves for color. Fry slices of onion in about 1 T of oil and pour it over the top. Then sprinkle a mix of fine crushed red pepper, bullion, and salt over it.
Most of West Africa has this in one form or another on the regular.
My mom used to make my sisters and I cinnamon toast for breakfast when we were kids, pretty much like you describe only on toast.
