Are you sick of eating Ramen Noodles? Cafeteria food? Or whatever that is that’s been in the fridge for the past three days? Here are 11 easy to make recipes for college students that taste good, and you’ll want to eat it the next day.

1. Barbeque Orange Chicken

You will need a bottle of barbeque sauce (16 ounces), one jar of Smuckers orange marmalade and one pound of chicken. Marinate the chicken overnight in the barbeque and the marmalade. Cook it the next day and your meal is ready. Pairing it with a salad makes a great combination.

2. Shepard's Pie

You will need one pound of hamburger meat, two packs of instant garlic mashed potatoes, one large bag of frozen corn and one pound or pound and a half of cheddar cheese (depending on if you’re a cheese lover or not). Cook the hamburger meat. While the hamburger is cooking, go ahead and fix the mashed potatoes and corn. Add a Paula Deen amount of butter to the corn because that’s just the right thing to do. When everything is done, layer your ingredients into a baking dish. Meat, corn, mashed potatoes and cheese, and so on until the remaining cheese is on the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes and enjoy!

3. Crockpot Buffalo Chicken

You will need four or five boneless skinless chicken breasts, 12 ounces or Frank’s RedHot Wings Buffalo Sauce and one packet of Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning mix. Cook chicken in the crockpot on high for three hours, drain the juices and mix in the buffalo sauce and the ranch seasoning. Cook on high for 30 more minutes. You could even pair this up with some celery and/or carrots.

4. Stir Fry

You will need one pound of beef, chicken or pork (which ever you prefer in your stir fry) and two pounds of vegetables (such as carrots, snow peas, peppers, onions, etc.). For the sauce, you will need one cup of broth, a tablespoon of sugar, twp tablespoons of soy sauce and one tablespoon of white rice vinegar (if this seems a bit excessive I would just say use soy sauce and call it a day). Add some olive oil to the pan and cook your meat according to taste (except for chicken and pork, cook that all the way through). Take the meat out and cook your vegetables for one minute. Turn down the heat on the stove and put everything back in the pan. Pour your sauce in and cook for one minute (enough time to let it bubble). Serve with your choice of rice, noodles or nothing at all!

5. Three-Cheese Ziti

You will need one to two pounds of pasta (depending on how many you’re serving), two and ¼ cup of mozzarella, ½ cup of ricotta cheese, one cup of parmesan cheese, two cups of Alfredo sauce and four cups of tomato sauce. Preheat the oven to 375. Combine the tomato sauce, Alfredo sauce, ricotta cheese and ¼ of the mozzarella and put on low heat. Cook the pasta accordingly, and then combine the sauce and pasta into a baking dish. Put the remaining three cups of mozzarella and the parmesan cheese on top of the dish. Bake for 15 minutes and enjoy with a breadstick or two!

6. Corn Dip

You will need one block of cream cheese, one large bag of corn and a jar of salsa. Heat up the corn until it is cooked. Take it out and add the cream cheese. Stir and put back in the microwave for a minute and a half. Then add your salsa and stir it up. Serve with any kind of chip you like, or just eat it with a spoon. This should only take about 5 minutes.

7. Pea Salad

You will need two cans of peas, one jar of mayonnaise, one tomato, one onion, salt and pepper. Drain the cans of peas, add half a jar of mayonnaise (depending on how much you like mayo then add more or less), dice half of the tomato and the onion and then salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything up and you’ve just made pea salad! It only takes about five minutes.

8. Crock Pot Grape Jelly and Barbeque Meatballs

You will need one 32-ounce bag of frozen already cooked meatballs, one 18 ounce jar of grape jelly and one 18-ounce bottle of barbeque sauce. Combine everything in the crockpot, cover the meatballs with the sauce and cook on high for three hours. Serve alone or with rice.

9. Crockpot Stuffed Peppers

You will need four large green bell peppers, one pound of ground beef, ¼ a cup of onion, one and ½ cups of cooked rice, 32 ounces of spaghetti sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Combine the beef, onion, rice and seasonings into a bowl. Cut the tops off the peppers, removing the seeds and fibers. Stuff the peppers, place in the crockpot and cover them with the spaghetti sauce. Cook on high for three to four hours, or until the hamburger is cooked all the way through.

10. Bacon Ranch Pasta

There are actually two ways you can serve this dish. You can serve it warm or cold. If you want to serve it warm I suggest using spaghetti noodles; if you want to serve it cold use rotini rotini pasta. Either way, you will need two and ½ cups of pasta (or however much you need to serve you and your guests), ½ cup of ranch dressing, one or five cups of bacon depending on if you love bacon or really love bacon, one cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and one and ½ cups of frozen peas. Cook the pasta and the peas, mix everything together and either serve it warm or chill everything for a few hours and serve.

11. Chicken, Broccoli and Potato Bubble-Up

Personally, I like to add potatoes to this dish, but if you’re not too big on doing that it’s fine too. One can of flaky layered biscuits, one pound of boneless chicken breasts, one can of diced potatoes (optional) and one box of frozen broccoli and cheese sauce. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and cut up the biscuits and layer them in the baking pan. Cook the chicken in a separate pan, then heat up the broccoli in the microwave until it is cooked and add that and the chicken into a bowl. Stir everything together, pour everything over the biscuits and bake for 25-30 minutes. If you add the potatoes, you would cook them separate, like the broccoli, and then add them together.

These recipes are super easy, and incredibly tasty. I think I might go cook one of these right now!
