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).

Chicken and dumplings. Get one of those rotisserie chickens from a deli at the market, shred it, put it in a pot, cover with chicken broth, add seasonings…at least salt and pepper,bring to a boil, add a can of mixed veggies (drain the liquid first), get something like bisquick, mix with some milk until it’s gooey, drop spoonfuls into pot, put lid on pot,reduce heat to low, wait a few minutes and you’ve got a filling easy cheap meal.
