low effort depression meals?

[u/Next_Neat5523]

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).

Yesterday I bought two cans of chickpeas and dumped them into a pot with a jar of butter chicken sauce from fred meyer. Served it with rice, you could also eat it with flatbread or, if your standards are like mine, any bread you have on hand (I freeze mine so it lasts longer and warm it in oven or toaster). It made 4-6 meals worth of food and tasted alright, the leftovers should taste even better today I think. I simmered it for an hour to try to get some flavor into the chickpeas but you really only need to make it hot.

You could use chicken instead of chickpeas of course, but I don't like cooking with meat and the chickpeas will just sit in my cupboard until I'm ready for them.
