[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lasagna is great for leftovers. I have three varieties that I rotate: American style, Italian style, and spinach. I often make one on Sundays since it can take a bit longer to make. 
I make extra of most dinners though and the kids will take it to school for lunch. The ES kid in a thermos and the high schooler will use a microwave to heat it. This week is Thai curry over rice, quesadillas (was tacos for dinner), mandoo, and chicken shawarma with pita. [/quote]

Casseroles in general are good, as are most pastas.

In your case, however, it might make more sense to focus on proteins your son can build a lunch around, and then let him pack for himself.  Brown some taco meat on the weekend and add taco or sloppy Joe seasoning and then he can eat it with rice, chips, etc. for lunch.  Give him access to large amounts of sandwich meat, cheeses, hard-boiled eggs, (frozen) grilled chicken/chicken patties, canned tuna/chicken/ham, etc., along with breads/bagels/rolls/wraps, salad/sandwich vegetables, fruits, yogurt, etc.[/quote]
