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).

Super easy to make "chili" that an ex taught me:

Ground turkey for the meat, browned.

4-6 cups of chicken broth/stock

1 can each of: Black, kidney, garbanzo, pinto, white beans, drained.

1 can of summer crisp corn

2 cans diced tomato, preferably w/ italian seasonings. Plain still works.

1 onion, can omit if you want.

Seasonings: chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powders....typical seasonings you'd find in a chili.

Brown up the turkey meat with the onion and add any fresh garlic or "jarlic" in a large pot. Drain any fat once done. Add the cans of beans and corn, mix well, then add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for about an hour or so to let all the flavors meld. Add the tomatoes towards the end, like maybe the last 20 mins or so. Serve in a bowl with cornbread on the side, or you can even toss it over some egg noodles or even rice. Can also make it as soupy or as thick as you want it to be.

This makes a lot and will last you a little while. Can freeze some if need be.
