Dinner that you can re-heat for lunch next day?

I'm at University at the minute and I am spending a fortune on food from Uni, so I wanted to see if I could make dinner that I could then separate a portion so that I could stick it in the fridge/freezer and re-heat it at Uni the next day for lunch. Does anyone have any good suggestions? I'm mostly after things that don't require too much to make, and actually make a good lunch too, not just desperate leftover scraps!

Thanks for help in advance. :smile:

stir fry? It's really cheap to make.
How much are you spending on food? And what kind of foods are you buying? I'd be more than happy to give suggestions, I don't spend very much money on food at all but eat all the time and most of the meals I make are pretty quick or simple to make (and tasty...though I guess people have different preferences).

Chilli con Carne.
Easy to cook in large batches, fairly cheap (minced beef, kidney beans, a few spices and rice)

what's better is that it tastes better as 'leftovers' because the flavours have had more chance to infuse and develop.
