Do you have any food that is frozen, canned, or otherwise packaged that only requires heating? Oven, microwave, pan, or other way prepared, but essentially ready to eat after heating.
Two we have really liked:

Campbell's Slow Kettle Style, Kicking' Crab & Corn Chowder. 15oz. plastic tub that you heat in the microwave for 3:30 min. on 50% power. Two? 1 cup servings per package.
Great for a quick hot lunch.

Delimex Beef Tamales- frozen in a box of 6. 'Shredded' beef in hand wrapped corn husks.
I have had better but they were homemade or in a good restaurant. I have had a lot worse in restaurants, especially chain Mexican restaurants, but to us these are pretty good, unless you are in the S.W. We cook ours by steaming in a rice cooker, and serve with either avocado slices or homemade guacamole for a quick dinner.
We get both at Walmart, but the tamales sometimes are out or not there as with many things in that venue.

I like the cooked frozen chicken.
You can use it in a bunch of different ways-
It's great in enchiladas, makes killer tacos.
Pasta, stirfry with Vegs etc.
Or - start a cup of Kraft Marconi-cheese in the microwave,
Put some frozen chicken in a bowl, cover with Green Chili Sauce.
Nuke the chicken, chili mixture.
Then pour the Macaroni on the chicken green chili.

Frozen Celentano stuffed shells or manicotti add sauce and bake pretty tasty to me cheese on top when about finished. Progresso Italian wedding soup. Tuna. There's many others but some that come to mind.

We have the Celentano's quite often, but with my own jazzed up sauce and a side of homemade meatballs and sauce. YUM!:D

I usually will cook a link of hot Italian sausage then when I get ready to cover the pasta and sauce with shredded cheese I'll put the sausage in the sauce with the pasta and finish baking. Love me some meatballs as well.
