Default I need some new cooking ideas for DH

DH has a restricted diet and I'm running out of ideas for things to
make for him. He'd happily eat a hamburger six times a week but that's
not healthy! (not to mention extremely boring...) The restrictions
a
- no seafood whatsoever except plain fish (he's deathly allergic)
- no alcohol (he SAYS it would be okay but why risk it after 20 years
of not drinking?)
- no curry or curry-like spices (he hates it )
- no capsicum/bell peppers (he's developed an intolerance...)
- not too many vegetables (he hates peas, zucchini/squash, and too
much of ANY vegetable. Vegetarian food is out of the question.)
- no lamb (I cooked the mildest most tender delicious roast lamb and
he hated the 'gamey flavour'!)
- light on the legumes

I was fine cooking for him until he developed the pepper intolerance.
I dropped fresh bell peppers from our diet. But now he's reacting to
dried peppers as well - I had a jar of cajun spice mix and it turns
out to have dried red pepper in it and it made him ill. Alas the
combination of his allergies and dislikes means no South East Asian
food (fish sauce/seafood), no Indian food (too much curry), and now
apparantly no Mexican food either (too many peppers!) I'm going to die
of boredom here unless I can find some more recipes!

So what does he LIKE? Hamburgers, bacon, pizza, fried eggs, carrots,
green beans, broccoli, potatoes in any form, salad, fried chicken,
pork (especially bbq), chilli, spaghetti etc. Heavy on the protein and
starch and light on the vegetables... I usually cook a meal and then
I'll microwave myself a bowl of frozen vegetables to go with it.
