Freezer Meal Ideas
Posted on 1/2/16 at 7:47 pm

I started making freezer meals to prep for a spring baby but I'm running out of ideas. Post your suggestions below of things I should be making.
I have the stand-bys: chili, spaghetti sauce, taco meat, red beans, chicken fajitas, veggie soup. I tend to go towards tomato based items so anything not using tomatoes would be great.
Thanks in advance!

Smoked pulled pork does well and can be used in many ways

Sounds like you already have a bunch of stuff.

Chicken noodle soup, pot roast, pot pie, cheese steak, sausage/pepper/onion, philly cheese steak, lemon chicken, gumbo, lasagna.
We have 5 kids and usually just pre-cook/freeze our most used meats and put in vacuum seal bags with enough for 1 meal. For example, 12 oz of smoked chicken is enough to make chicken tacos or chicken soup or chicken pot pie for everyone. Assembling those three things only takes a few minutes and you don't have to take up as much freezer space or worry about things getting freezer burnt.

Shrimp Stew
Pot Roast
If you have some Pyrex dishes, maybe look at Pinterest for some all in one dish casseroles that you can freeze and just throw in the oven. My mother-in-law makes some great stuff like that. I love that stuff, but my wife doesn't like stuff all combined together, so I rarely cook them

Yes but I would like a variety that can last us a few weeks.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far.. Quiche I know but what is tetrazzini?

She can make the Americanized versions.

Don't you people have computers?!
I've never defined tetrazzini. Or made it. But the last time I was pregnant (yes, freezers had been invented), I had a baby shower where people gifted me with freezer meals, one of which was turkey tetrazzini. It's a creamy noodle dish.

Uhh yes but I got sick of googling recipes and decided to come here for some decent ideas instead.

I think she meant Googling what tetrazzini is probably faster than asking someone here. She's just being silly :)
My freezer ideas are all tomato based as well. I could eat a tomato based dish every day.
Enchilada stuffing is a good freezer meal. It'll require making enchiladas still, but that's just the rolling and baking part.
Eta: I know it's tomato based, but you can get aluminum pans of all sized at Dollar Tree. Freeze lasagna or any baked pasta in it with lots of wrap to prevent freezer burn. When time to cook, all you have to do is put in oven.

Miss Antoinette, don't be upset with Darla, she was trying to help. She did have a freezer when they first came out, it was made by Ken. About 20 years later, in the 50's, Ken got so busy that he had to hire more people. That's when the company became Kenmore.

Sorry, didn't mean to be rude.
Here's one recipe, but it looks complex. There are easier recipes out there.
LINK
It's sort of like chicken spaghetti with half and half (or cream), mushrooms, sometimes peas, wine or sherry, nutmeg
