For this list, we’ve taken suggestions from Delish, Buzzfeed, and other food-based websites. We have ranked the items according to preparation time, because anything that’s done before you can finish saying ‘Bon Appetit!’ is easy. We’ve also added a 5-star rating system to rate how tasty the food is, how easily it can be made in a dorm room given the lack of proper kitchen equipment, and how easily available its ingredients are.

10. Instant Mac and Cheese

Prep time: 3-8 minutes, depending on type

Rating: 5 stars

No list of the easiest dorm foods to make will ever be complete without instant mac and cheese. It’s quintessential dorm room dinner that is consumed about half of all the dinners each student partakes throughout his/her whole college life. It can get pretty monotonous and is not an ideal to-go meal for hurried lunches, but it’s a great break from ramen nights.
