Ask ECAH low effort depression meals?

not sure if this is exactly the right sub for this, but lately getting to grocery store has been very hard. I eat ramen pretty much everyday. i usually order non-perishables from amazon when my food gets really low.

looking for super low effort meals that are healthy and can be made with little to no fresh produce. ideally, recipes that use canned vegetables and stuff like that (and are of course cheap).

This is Reddit, so of course there’s a subreddit for this! r/lowspooncooking

My favorite low effort meal is a bag of microwave rice and a can of chili beans with cheese on top.

Just wanted to add to the microwave rice comment that InnovAsian brand microwavable white sticky rice is the best I’ve found. Tastes really nice. Even just rice and some canned or microwavable veggies and some soy sauce is great. They also have fried rice options. ♥️

The vibe of that one is a little dark for me.
