Mashed potatoes (thelemmy.club)

The picture: mashed potatoes and corporate meatloaf. Meatloaf was free.

Cost per person: $1.50

Of course the corporate meatloaf is just a side dish. The meal is mashed potatoes. My first "you are in charge of x" when growing up was to make the mashed potatoes. This served me well as a teen because I could make gigantic batches to insure that I wasn't going to starve eating whatever the other course was even if it was extremely low calorie 90s recipes. Between my brother and I we could easily eat three or four pounds of potatoes in a single sitting. There were never any leftovers.

PROTIP: Add an extra hour to your prep time by making roasted garlic butter beforehand. Then mash it in with the potatoes.

I'm all about roasted garlic, cream and rosemary but the wife says no.
