And there were so many delicious responses that I'll absolutely be trying myself! Here are some top-voted answers: We also included responses from here and here . 1.

"Bag of coleslaw sautéed with soy sauce." — u/Its_DianA "I do something a little different with coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage. Sauté with soy sauce and a little vegetable oil (or sesame oil if you have it).



Cook a package of ramen noodles, drain, and add to cabbage with about half the ramen seasoning packet. Add sriracha or red pepper flakes if you want it spicy. It makes multiple meals, heats up nicely if you're taking it for lunch, and is more filling than just the cabbage alone would be.

" — u/Kangaroo1974 2. "Tuna and noodles. Cheap, yet it has a high density of protein to maintain my body since I workout.

" — u/Longonson "I call this Tuna Mac. It is mac 'n' cheese, tuna, and peas. Everyone (who didn't grow up with me) thinks it is a culinary abomination.

They're probably right." — u/odebus "Velveeta shells, tuna, can of peas, and bread crumb topping in a 9x13 baked in the oven." — u/The_angle_of_Dangle 3.

"Throw some chicken thighs in a slow cooker and shred it. I prefer thighs because they're tastier to reheat. You can add shredded chicken to almost anything.

Eggs, rice, pasta, ramen, sandwiches, cassero.
