Cheap meal options? 🥺

I need your help comrades!

I am moving on Saturday. And I need some ways to make meals. I don't care which culture, the more diverse the better.

Here are some factors I kinda need:

• not too expensive to make (money and time)
• not a weird consistency like salad (sensory issues of autism) bread or steak has the perfect consistency
• I don't taste that well, so the taste should be rather intense (like steak)
• vegetarian (because I think vegan will be too hard with my requirements) if it isn't vegetarian I also take recepies but it would be better if it would be (so not stake after all)

Here are examples kind of like this:

• pizza
• pasta with tomato sauce
• garlic bread

pls pls reccomend 🥺

EDIT: Please also drop non vegitarian options, if you cant think of vegitarian stuff. My requirements are so many, it will be difficult to find something that will meet all requirements.
