Spaghetti and meatballs - back when I could eat meat, it didn't matter who's house it was at wor what restaurant, if they had spaghetti, tomato sauce and meatballs, I'd eat em! Homemade was always best of course - but you can't beat a classic.

For me it's instant ramen. Not the American brands, but the Asian ones. What can I say? It's hard to screw up spicy.

I disagree about ice cream--if it's not good, it's a waste of calories!

For me, udon, ramen, noodle soup of any kind really is hard to mess up. I've had some pretty crappy udon in Michigan but it still functions as a filling comfort food.

Pizza's pretty close too, but I've had some with too thick crust that are not okay.

I'll second Stephanie with CHEESE. EZ cheese to cheese whiz to Cheetos to anything with cheesy goodness.

Salsa/Picante - I love nearly all I've had, whether it be Pace, Village Hot Sauce, home made, mild, hot, etc. I love it so much if I have salsa around but not chips I'll eat it with celery. This stuff is seriously addicting to me.

Another one is kind of odd (and actually the first thing I thought of), but I'll add it anyway. Green Beans - of course, fresh is best, but I love them any way I can get them - fresh, canned, frozen, in a casserole - it doesn't matter. When I want a snack and nothing is "popping out" at me, I'll heat a can of green beans.

Definitely Maruchan Oriental-flavored Ramen. I dress it up with a splash of soy, a significant amount of butter, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Another anti-foodie guilty pleasure? Eating Classico sun-dried tomato alfredo sauce straight out of the jar with a spoon.

Soup.. I love almost every soup. I usually make homemade but will eat canned, and any restaurant soup. Ice cream is a close second though.

Mac'n'Cheese. It has to be reallllly bad for me to turn my nose up at it.

I don't know what it is, but I love those horrid dehydrated scalloped/cheddar potatoes from a box, especially the Betty Crocker ones. I KNOW that cheese-powder isn't real cheese, and I KNOW the sodium is enough to take down a horse, but every once in awhile I need to make a whole box of "cheesy taters" and just have that for dinner. I've had really fancy potatoes au gratin and scalloped potatoes in very nice restaurants - but I like the boxed ones just as much, if not more.

nachos! with beans, with meat or both, with that crappy orange "cheez" sauce or real melted cheese, guac, soggy chips or crisp chips, sour cream, from the ballpark or the taqueria. Doesn't really matter. Just don't give 'em to me cold!
