Corned beef hash with an egg in it. Ok, ok! also kielbasa. ---

[QUOTE=Beware of Doug] What, you’ve never microwaved a KK? Only way to get hot non-plain-glazed-raised. [/QUOTE] To each their own, but for my money, the plain glazed are what its all about in KK-land. The microwave helps, to be sure; however, once you’ve had one that is only thirty seconds removed from their donut-making contraption, nothing else can ever compare… ---

Seconding Circus Peanuts. Love 'em, but for the life of me I have no idea _why_. There’s something vaguely nauseating about the complete lack of correlation between color, texture, and taste, but I still eat the whole bag. (Hell, if you tried to explain those to a Brit, would he even believe you?) ---

Almost anything with cheese- cheese fries, mozzarella sticks, that kind of stuff. I’ve actually managed to go a pretty long time with eating either of those, but fortunately/unfortunately I’ve found substitutes. ---

Casseroles made with cream-of-whatever soup. Easy to make and tasty. Screw anyone who says that isn’t enough. I’m another Hamburger Helper lover. And Taco Bell. ---

Marie Callender’s Chicken Pot Pies. If I were sentenced for life to a facility that fed you nothing but, three times a day, I’m not sure I’d appeal. ---

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, or even the Publix version. It’s been my favorite food pretty much my whole life. My husband won’t eat it, so I get it like once a year now. Circus peanut people, I am putting your names on a list and will hereafter be wary of you. ---

[QUOTE=lissener] Marie Callender’s Chicken Pot Pies. If I were sentenced for life to a facility that fed you nothing but, three times a day, I’m not sure I’d appeal. [/QUOTE] Temptation food of the devil himself. 520 calories, 280 calories from fat, 31 grams of fat (9 saturated, 1.5 trans). Your life sentence may be a short one. ---

Totinos pizza. Resers burritos- knowing full well just how much they hurt the following day, I still love them. Icees/Freezies - basically frozen Kood-Aid in plastic. Instant potatoes - the single serves with fake bacon. Fabulous at work on a cold day. Stove Top Stuffing. Nom nom nom We used to eat Hamburger Helper - now I can’t stand it. TheKid loves the Beef Stroganoff kind. It takes very little additional time to make it from scratch. ---

Are greens considered “low end”? If so, greens & beans would be my entry. ---

Tuna casserole… which absolutely must be made with the cheapest canned condensed soup and canned peas, and then topped with crushed soda crackers. It’s my favouritest comfort food, hands down. I once tried making a gussied-up casserole using fresher ingredients (homemade white sauce, fresh peas, panko breadcrumbs), but it just wasn’t as tasty and comforting as its over-processed sodium-laden ancestor. ---
