I've never been great at meal prep, but my schedule these days doesn't really support making great dinner decisions when I'm tired/hungry.

What are some things I can make on Sundays to manage dinner for most of the week?

Batch cook ground beef; dehydrate beef; make pemmican (the most work)

I could eat ground beef for every meal and be happy, just needs a bit of a warm up and its good.

I like to do Ethan Cheblowski's Sunday braise (description starts at around 7:45). I braise meat with some veggies, blend the vegetables into a sauce and use spice mixtures throughout the week. Sometimes I eat the meat and the sauce with some roast potatoes, sometimes I reheat the meat in tomato sauce with Italian seasoning and have it with pasta.

Sour rice and "stuff"

Having an Asian mother in law made me appreciate rice. I have a 40 pounds bag of Jasmin rice at home at all times. I cook it, season it with vinegar, wine, salt and sugar (kind of like sushi, but I don’t care what type of vinegar and wine, I just use what’s at home) and to that I have veggies, eggs (sometimes raw to mix with the rice - make sure to NOT LET THE OUTER SHELL TOUCH YOUR FOOD), meats, cured meats and fish, sausage… at the end auf August/beginning of September I’ll have some Surströmming as well.

The rice is easily made in the rice cooker, afterwards it’s spread out to cool and then seasoned, then put in the fridge. Add the condiments when you feel like it.

I’m allergic to wheat (not gluten… lol) and fructose, so no sandwiches for me. Heck, even tomatoes have too much fructose for me…

Get a pressure cooker, make stews fast and pack them into serving sizes for lunches at work/school or leave it in a large contain and serve it for dinners for days.

I prep my vegetables like carrots, celery and mushrooms and then freeze them. When I want to make a stew I take the pressure cooker pot to the freezer and fill it with the veg I want and get protein I want then add stock and seal the cooker and set it for 28 mins on high pressure and I get a stew that would take a few hours on the stovetop.

Fat free greek yogurt with chia seeds. Million things you can build on it. Mainly I use sugarfree protein isolate and/or peanut butter powder, some oats and spices. I only eat lunch + dinner so it's a healthy dessert.
