People Share Their Best Three Ingredient Meals

Cooking is hard. Not only that, but it takes a lot of time and energy to make a good meal. However, there are some cheat codes when it comes to making yourself some tasty food. In fact, there are plenty of meals that you can make using only three ingredients. Here are some examples, straight from Reddit.

u/moneybot13 asked: What is the best three ingredient meal?



Yum.

Black beans, rice, and one topping of choice. Always delicious.

LindsayMurray

I do salsa and maybe some cheese. Eat it with corn chips.

SamSondadjoke

The best meal.

Giphy

Take a standard sized tumbler, add a splash of whiskey, then fill it the rest of the way up with whiskey. I call it "a big glass of whiskey".

utche96

Unless you consume the tumbler you're going to need a third ingredient.

Sorry, never mind. More whiskey.

refreshing_username

Hey, that's cheating.

I can make a fantastic pizza by combining just cheese, tomatoes, and a fully prepared pizza.

Driver_goon

Tortilla, sauce, mozz cheese. It won't be great because theres no seasoning but it'll be pretty solid.

Me--Not--I

Nice.

Buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes, basil.

donthinktoohard

I just learned that buffalo mozzarella is from buffalos.

CreationStepper

Wait 'till you hear about their wings.

Jay180

Both excellent choices.

Giphy

Pasta, butter, grated Parmesan cheese.

DareWright

Pasta, olive oil, garlic.

Jet-Streem

There's a lot you can do with eggs.

Eggs, salt, and pepper.

inflammable

Fried egg, white rice, and soy sauce is pretty great.

PINKDAYZEES

Tasty.

  1. Onions
  2. Pepper
  3. Meat
Needs salt.

A universal favorite.

Giphy

Poutine!

cdncutie79

I'm in the US and poutine is on my bucket list of foods to try! I feel like it wouldn't be the same if I just made it myself...

catmom2040

Love a good Spam.

Rice, Spam, eggs.

OMS6

Yeah Filipinos know: rice, sunny side egg, (any salty protein).

Spam, bacon, sausage, dried fish, hot dog even.

utflipmode

That sounds so good.

Cacio e pepe. Trust me man. Super easy and absolutely delicious. You only need spaghetti, pecorino (you can use parmesan) and black pepper. Thank me later!

FeministCriBaby

Sriracha is good on everything.

Giphy

Toast, poached egg and a drizzle of sriracha mayo.

If you're allowed to branch out, add some sliced avo and some crumbled Danish feta.

DukeyPookey

That actually sounds amazing.

Baguette, brie cheese & jalapeños.

Blondette1221

Pure magic.

Box of cake mix, 1/2 a cup vegetable oil, 2 eggs. Makes "cake box cookies" that taste just like your favorite cake. My favourite cookies!

ThriftAllDay

My mouth is watering.

Giphy

Slightly more than 3 ingredients but...

Take some potatoes and cut them into quarters long ways. Then cut then into about 1/4 inch thick slices.

Sautee an onion in oil of your choice with garlic.

Add a little more oil, enough to cover the potatoes but not too much. Add potatoes and turn heat down to just above half.

Cover the shit out of them with salt and pepper, stir every 30 seconds to a minute adding more salt and pepper each time. Make sure to cover the potatoes in the stuff every time you stir them.

After cooking for about 20 minutes, or until desired softness, serve.

It's a family recipe. German fried potatoes. Wonderful side dish for any meal.

LeviathanOfHell

Ooooooh.

Udon noodles, tin of tuna and hot sauce.

My go to quick meal.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
