The magic of freezing

Just pulled out a container of sweet potato andouille soup from the deep freeze: made it exactly 1 year ago, during the “big snow”. It is as good as it was freshly made. Which leads me to ask: what is your favorite pulled from the freezer meal?

I freeze a lot of meals items because I cook in bulk much of the time. If frozen properly, that food will last a long time.
I pulled out a vac sealed bag of meatballs and sauce a few weeks ago which were well over a year old and tasted like I'd just made the meal.
Gumbo
Lasagna
Meat sauce or meatballs and sauce (the meatballs can be over pasta or for a meatball poboy)
Lots of soups-I made a cauliflower tomato over a year ago and we had that last weekend. It was so darn good.
Red beans
White beans
Bean soups of all kinds
Chili and tamales
Mini crawfish pies
Quiche
Sweet potato casserole
Cornbread dressing and other dressings
Roast and gravy
The list is large.

I'm a fan of the mystery container. Don't remember what it is or when it was made, but I'm hungry and have nothing else.

Yes! I cut into servings and freeze, so it’s like my own much better version of a Stouffers anytime.

I generally buy in bulk when the prices are right. Chicken leg quarters at $.39 a lb., chicken split breasts at $.99 a lb., pork butts at $.97 a lb., etc.
I'll part it all out and put it in freezer bags or wrap it in Saran Wrap and freezer paper to be used later.
When I cook, it is usually in the 2+ gallon range. Just this past Friday I cooked 4 lbs. of red beans and put most of that up in quart bags. That way, on Mondays, I just grab a bag or two out of the freezer and make some rice and cornbread.

I learned to use a china marker (greasepencil) to write directly on the plastic lid. Labels and tape always fall off.

I use painter's tape for containers. Sticks well, but doesn't leave any residue when removed.
