I generally find rice or potatoes most filling, so I plan meals around those. Jacket potatoes are amazing with almost anything (and plenty of cheese). Curries are great on both (and are a great vehicle for tons of veg), but flavoured rice with beans or lentils (mejadra) are a really filling side to meat/substitute/roast veg (or even on its own, though a little boring). Less healthy but filling is the classic (veggie) burger/sausages-chips-beans (of the baked variety) combo. Make a simple salad to go with it to make it more "healthy" (my go to is sweetcorn and red jalapenos with simple dressing, or store bought coleslaw).
I'm disabled so prep and cooking are a lot for me, so I mostly use frozen and tinned products which a lot of people discount as a bad choice, but find a way to flavour them nicely and they're super versatile (and still perfectly nutritious).
I'm just waiting for my dinner to cook and figured I should also mention some of the ingredients I use (on top of whatever seasoning the dish requires) that are guaranteed to boost almost any dish - maggie liquid seasoning (basically MSG) especially when combined with butter (I use plant based), dried fried onions, and nutritional yeast flakes.
I also roast a load of garlic cloves all at once (little bit of olive oil, wrap in foil, low heat for about half an hour - there are more precise recipes online) then freeze, then you can have a mushy clove (or 5) to use whenever you need it (every meal lol).
