stodgily

In boring fashion

In a dull, heavy, or uninspired manner.

Stodgily describes doing something without flair or imagination, plodding along predictably: The committee stodgily reviewed each item on the agenda.

It can also suggest physical heaviness or sluggishness, as after eating too much rich food.
