The meal isn't actually for children. That's just for reference for the guy cooking. He's cooking for himself and another adult.

And, I guess I'm just looking for any traditional Americana meal that you could find anywhere in the United States, including the East Coast. Something super simple that he can walk away from.

Basically, if you read something set in the East Coast would having him make a casserole throw you out of the fic as not something you would expect him to make? Are there variations specific to the East Coast?

As a NYer, city, not upstate, casseroles isn't something that's done often. Maybe during the holidays, and the most I've ever tried was a green bean casserole.

Uhm...as far as traditional Americana...I would say maybe some pork-chops and potatoes?

Ethnic differences can really set the tone for something a person would normally eat. Although some spaghetti and meatballs is usually a go-to for a lot of people. Maybe some chicken cutlets with mashed potatoes? Some corn on the cob along with it?

I don't think it'd throw anyone off. Casseroles in general are a sort of old-fashioned dish but they still get made and eaten, even if they're probably more common in the Midwest than either of the coasts.

It would throw me off for a single guy on the East Coast. I much more would see it as a grandma from the Midwest kind of thing.

If the guy is cooking just for himself I definitely don't see him cooking a casserole, as the few times I have ever heard of people cooking them around here, it is definitely a family thing, like green bean casserole for thanksgiving, as someone mentioned. I really think of them as more like something my parents would have eaten as kids. Looking up casserole in Wikipedia confirms they were more popular in the 50's-70's and they are more popular for potlucks and in the Midwest. If it is summer, I still think grilling works for a guy. Otherwise, again, I would stick with simple things. Like the meat and potatoes you mentioned. It's not difficult to stick a potato in the oven and fry up a steak. Or he could take a rotisserie chicken home from the grocery store and do mashed potatoes. Or pasta with sauce (either meat sauce or with meatballs).
