lasagna. Make it ahead of time and put it in the freezer. They go well from freezer to oven but take about 1 1/2 hour to cook so you may need to run into the house to start it cooking but its a hands off meal so you can come back when its almost done. Now, here is the part that makes it good for one person cooking: make up several when you make them and put them in a pan that you will eat in one sitting (unless you LIKE and WANT leftovers). They sell pans that are 1/2 and 1/4 size of a normal pan, buy a bunch, they are worth having around. Making more than one lasagna doesnt take much more time than one so make up a bunch when you do and freeze them. With small pans, you eat your meal right from the pan with only one dish to wash. Salad, french bread, lasagna, 7 beers... thats living...

Breakfast. Hashbrowns and eggs in a cast iron pan. When the browns are almost done, turn the heat down to med. When the pan is cooled a little, pile the browns on the side and crack the eggs. Watch em, they will cook fast. I do over easy so flip them earlier than normal. While they are only about half done, flip them again so they are free from the pan. Kill the heat and take the pan to the table. The pan is hot so it continues to cook the eggs. When the whites are done to your liking, put on top of the browns to keep them from over cooking the eggs. Hashbrowns, eggs over easy, toast and OJ or milk. Breakfast of champions. One dirty cast iron pan, wipe out. Wash spatula and fork, rince out glass for lunch.

Soups and stews. When you make your famous ________, make a huge batch and can what you know will be extra right away. I like chili with some elbow noodles in it so before I add the noodles, I put some of the extra right in jars and start the pressure canner. While thats doing its thing, I add noodles to what I will eat and have supper. By that time the canner is finished so turn it off, clean up dinner and the canner. Let the jars cool over night. When you want an easy meal, dump a jar in the pot, add noodles and eat 20 minutes later.

I think those are my best hints for easy meals with mininum prep and clean up.
