What are some good options to keep in the freezer (not frozen pizza) that can feed a family on a busy day or when you're just tired of cooking. I'm not looking for plan ahead cook yourself and freeze suggestions, literally food from the freezer aisle to use sparingly.

Whatcha got?

Those Bertolli(I think that's the brand) pasta meals in a bag aren't bad. You just dump it in a skillet and heat it up. You'd likely need 2 of them to feed a family though.

That and frozen pizza are about the only frozen meals we eat, and we don't do those very often.

Costco has Orange Chicken and they also sell frozen bags of chicken fried rice and frozen bags of Japanese noodles, we will make the chicken and then some rice and/or noodles to serve the chicken on when we are short on time to cook. Their Chicken Tikka Masala is pretty good too

Trader Joe’s orange chicken. Combine it with a bag of their veggie fried rice.

Potstickers are a must have in my freezer. A few sliced carrots, a Handful of spinach or shredded cabbage, a quart of chicken broth, and a little soy, and you’ve got wonton soup. Or pan fry a whole bunch.....

Don’t sleep on the Goya frozen plantains either. Some refried black beans & rice plus a side of plantains and sour cream is a lovely meal.

Best place I've found for frozen family meals. Big fan of the egg plant parmesan they sell. The brand name is extremely italian.

Costco lasagna is better to me than Stouffers. It is one of the foods my stepson eats.

My go to "DGAF I'm lazy" is chicken tenders and TGIF skins. Toss in air fryer, eat like KANGZ n shiet..

Worst part is you can't find chicken tenders anymore that aren't a shite ton of crust.
