Pizza. You can buy those already cooked pizza shells and sauce in a jar and cheese. And since you are Manly Men, pepperoni. It is fun.

What the Technical Staff does when I am not home is make sort-of buffalo wings. Baked in the oven, not fried. There is actually a good recipe for this that Onstad sends with the Ray's hot sauce, but unfortunately I can't pass it on at this time because my kitchen is all packed in boxes.

Grilled cheese sandwiches. I can only have this as a bacherlorette dinner because certain people in my household don't think sandwiches are acceptable dinner food, but come on, this is totally different from a cold lunchmeat sandwich. Normal white bread and normal cheddar or American cheese. What is very important: BUTTER. Which you let soften to room temperature and spread on the outside of the bread. Don't melt it in the pan - spread it on the bread. It makes all the difference.

Pan-fry some spicy italian sausages with pepper and onions. Then fry some frozen pierogi in the same pan using the leftover sausage fat.

Or you can do spicy italian sausage in the slow-cooker with tomato sauce. Peppers and onions optional. My mom used to make that all the time.

The bacon cheeseburger is essentially the most manly food preparation there is.

With a Forman and a Baconwave, it is also basically easy to make.

I assume you mean a bacon cheeseburger all the way (ie with a fried egg).

Yes. 

Also, Hamburger Frikkin' Helper. 

It ain't fancy, but it's quick, easy, and cheap.

Ooo! Ooo! Sloppy joes! All you need is ground beef and buns and that stuff in a can - it's even called "MANWICH."!

[pmcd9]

I think I just posted the corndog pizza in another thread maybe yesterday.  Get you a frozen pizza and some frozen corn dogs.  Combine, heat and eat.

My mom always made sloppy joes from scratch so now I can't stand manwich. Yet I vastly prefer fake mac & cheese to the real thing.

Yes.

I make hamburger helper with ground chicken because I am too lazy to spoon out the grease from ground beef. Actually that's true of anything calling for ground beef.

Two easier methods:

-- dump ground beef into collander, run hot water over beef, return to skillet.

-- run hot water over beef while in skillet.  Drain fat and hot water.

...certain people in my household don't think sandwiches are acceptable dinner food...

Because you're forgetting the Campbell's tomato soup!

Obviously certain people did not grow up in my childhood.

I would posit that there needs to be something like vegemite or marmite that the kids won't really lie but is explicitly gross so they can play chicken at eating it. Overly salty spreads are the very epitome of Manly.

[littlefallsmets]

It is important for you to know, though, that Vegemite and Marmite only exist in the American consciousness as punchlines to jokes about Austrailia.

Basically they only exist here as gag gifts from vacationing friends or as the treasured possessions of weirdos who are way into overidentifying with another culture.

So the meaning of these things are lost to us in terms of manliness.

[Doc]

Well something equivalent that the kids can eat and think they are tough. Some stupidly hot peppers perhaps.
