Because I'm a caregiver for my mom and dependent on someone else driving me, I started stocking up on staples in early February.
I made my own list of things including food my mom loves (she's Southern, so grits, sweet potatoes, and cornmeal), canned goods, rice, dried beans (I'm from New England; we soak the beans on Friday night, cook them on Saturday, and have them with hot dogs and brown bread), pasta, frozen vegetables (and greens), and flour etc. for baking (I stress bake; sue me).
I found this list of Epicurious pantry recipes and meal plans via Liz Gorinsky on Twitter. Epicurious says:
Simply Recipes has this article on How To Stock Your Pantry for Social Distancing with lots of recipes.
I've been collecting recipes and ingredients for a while now and am sorting through which to cook again.
So here are some that I've made and stashed the ingredients in pantry and freezer to make again.
If others want to post recipes that are comfort food and/or rely on pantry and freezer staples, I'll use this post to make an index.

Creamy Tortellini Soup with Sausage and Spinach
Cannellini aglio e olio (Canned white beans and artichokes, sautd in olive oil and garlic, served with Parmesan and crusty bread) I meant to note that this is a variant of a very traditional (as in Medieval) Italian Winter meal; see this (also vegan) version Fagioli alluccelletto (Via Marlys in another thread)
White-Bean and Sausage Stew
Canned white beans (Great Northern or navy), garlic, olive oil, Italian sausage, chopped canned tomatoes, thyme.
No-Knead Bread Basic Recipe
Red Beans and Rice with Garlicky pork roast
Bratwurst and Cabbage Stew
This is a slow-cooker recipe (but it doesn't have to be).
Farmers Style [Lima] Beans
Any mild "white" bean is fine, and even red kidney beans work well.
Mac & Cheese With Ham
And roasted garlic.
Chicken Salad with Extras
You can used frozen chicken or turkey; poaching makes it tender. Or you can use canned chicken. This is easy to add or subtract ingredients based on taste and pantry.

Experts recommend having a two-week supply of non-perishable food on hand in case of emergencies. So we developed a 14-day meal plan of pantry-sourced dinners.

You can use your preferred smoked sausage. I prefer spicy kielbasa or andouille.
