+1 for Mississippi Roast. I throw in baby potatoes and carrots toward the end. Boom, done and it takes 5 minutes of work, if that.

Shrimp scampi on spaghetti especially if you use the prechopped garlic in a jar
If you like mussels they are ridiculously quick and easy to make if you buy them precleaned. I never order them out anymore.
Where do you buy your mussels?

Get a big pot, chop up a kielbasa, put it in the bottom with about a half cup of water. Chop a head of white cabbage and dump in. Dump in bag of baby carrots. Chop up some onions, quarter them and dump in. Put on lid, simmer for 20 - 30 minutes. Serve.
Note: I have a large family, so if you a small family you probably don't need a whole kielbasa or a whole cabbage. It is, however, good left over.
This is good with lentils.
Ooooh, I bet it would be.
I also like Italian sausage and onions with lentils, Brown some sausage, add lentils, chicken stock, bag of frozen mixed veggies, can of chopped tomatoes, cover and simmer.

How do you prepare the rice and beans?
This is embarrassing with how easy it is but my kids love it and it's in heavy rotation --- rice in the rice maker; can of black beans into a pot, add cumin, a bit of garlic and some pepper. Nothing else. In fact, the less I add, the more they enjoy it. You could add salsa, sour cream and cheese as toppers.

Bean and cheese quesadillas is my 5 min dinner. If you have frozen butternut squash purée that’s great on it too. I smash the beans down so the cheese melts with them.

I’m not OP but I appreciate your posting again. I hadn’t seen any of your previous posts.

Baked chicken breast or thighs coated in hummus, sprinkle with paprika. Comes out moist and the hummus makes a nice "crust" for the chicken.

Drained can of black beans (maybe two), juice of one lime, a bunch of cumin, heat and serve with chips, cheese, salsa, and sour cream. If you’re feeling ambitious, avocado and cilantro.

What are your favorite stupidly easy dinners? Like, 5 ingredients is way to many. Minimal to no chopping. Probably I didn't go to the grocery store lately. More assembly than "cooking."
One of mine is Instant Pot spaghetti - everything is from the pantry and I usually have a pound of ground beef in the freezer somewhere.
