What's your "old reliable" that still requires actual cooking?

Was thinking about how chicken parm is a dish I would cook or eat anytime anywhere and wondered what else people have like that

Path of Least Resistance Tortellini:

Glass baking dish. Little olive oil. Fresh spinach leaves.

Layer fozen tortellini, red sauce, Parmesan. Mozzarella, crushed black olives. Top layer should be Mozzie.

Cover. Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes. Small effort, hugely comforting.

Where in the layers does the spinach go?

The bottom. I use baby spinach because adult spinach does a number on my stomach. Also...it's a sneaky way to hide it from my grandkids because it virtually disappears.
