Does anyone here have suggestions for meals I can prepare, freeze and then cook at a later date? Something that freezes well.

I am already sick of cooking dinner after work every night, and what I am cooking doesn't last multiple days like it should now that meal slot is back. Thanks.

i sometimes cook seasoned ground beef (sauted peppers, onions, etc with ground meat) and freeze that. then you can easily make all sorts of things - Andie Apr 14, 08:25 4
- fyi - I made those coconut cookie things for luncheon today. I'll report how they are but they look amazing -- nm - sycor Apr 14, 08:30
- I do something like this with chicken. Cut a whole bunch in to bit-seized pieces. Saute it with garlic, shallots, dry vermouth and maybe some shrooms. - Diva Apr 14, 08:27 1
  - i don't know why i don't do this, i eat more chicken than beef. (adds to repertoire.) -- nm - Andie Apr 14, 08:43
- I do that with chicken. Pre-cook and chop it up. -- nm - Amy Apr 14, 08:27
my wife does a lot of chili and soups and stuff like that in the crockpot and then freezes it to take to work with her -- nm - sycor Apr 14, 08:25
Most things would generally be cooked first and then just reheated. Set aside a day to just cook for the freezer. -- nm - MojaveMeg Apr 14, 08:25
lasagne. -- nm - mafic Apr 14, 08:24
IM cracked me up - We do huge pots of pasta sauce, I'll also bake a ziti or a lasagna and freeze half. They do well. -- nm - Diva Apr 14, 08:24 4
- We did lasagna...it last 3 days only becuase I had funeral stuff to go to. - Will Hunting Apr 14, 08:24 3
  - Heh. - kelly Apr 14, 08:27
  - 1 day of cooking with 2 off ain't bad. You're slacking, Mail Slot. :) -- nm - Diva Apr 14, 08:26 1
    - You know what a pound and a half of black bean lasagna does? Now put that in a funeral home? not good. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 08:29
I'll make a big roast in the crockpot and freeze half of it. Ham freezes, too. Any casserole. -- nm - Amy Apr 14, 08:23
Stew/chili can typically be frozen and reheated. Anything fatty I would think as well. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 14, 08:22 1
- yup, I've got a container of each still in my freezer at home... -- nm - znufrii Apr 14, 08:22
do you have a slow cooker? Get stuff ready the night before, put it in in the morning and yummy. -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 08:21 1
- this is what we've been doing, it's good. Chicken curry, yum :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 14, 08:22
Oops, MAIL slot. -- nm - kelly Apr 14, 08:21 3
