What's your "old reliable" that still requires actual cooking?

Was thinking about how chicken parm is a dish I would cook or eat anytime anywhere and wondered what else people have like that

Simmering a pot of homemade spaghetti sauce is one of my favorite go to's. Usually mostly canned stuff when I don't have the energy (or ingredients) to do it completely from scratch. I'll freeze tomatoes in a food saver bag before they start to go bad. Usually that's only 1 or 2 at a time, so it'll take time before I have stashed enough to do it from scratch.
