Shelf-Stable Foods

While most use-cases for shelf-stable food are of the "prepper" variety, I'm really just looking for a store-and-forget meal to leave in the pantry at the beach-house. I want good food that's shelf-stable and can be re-heated in minimal time … for those times when we arrive late and just want a quick dinner. Here are my sources:

• Meals in a Jar (Practical Self Reliance)
  • Zuppa Toscana
  • Beef Burgandy
  • Vindaloo Curry
  • Thai Red Curry (chicken, not duck)
  • Meat Lovers Chili
  • Cajun Red Beans with Andouille Sausage
  • Split Pea Soup
• ???
