I try to keep a few frozen casseroles and meat loaf in the freezer for those out of cooking time nights. I line the dish with plastic wrap before adding the ingredients making sure to have enough to fold over and cover. After it is frozen (next day?) I pop it out of the dish, put it in a plastic bag, wash my dish and put away. When it’s time to thaw, remove the plastic and pop it into the same dish, cover with the plastic and put in the fridge to thaw.

I do all those ideas too! I brown lots of ground beef at once and I make double batches of meals quite often. I post about freezer cooking every Friday!

I love to have freezer foods on hand. I would LOVE to have a larger freezer to store pre-made dinners and meats. I am a woman of convenience and unfortunately deal with the 5 o’clock search for “What’s for dinner?” all too often. My family suffers for it… Since I make my own bread and baked goods, I am known to make extra and freeze. My husband loves poptarts for breakfast, so to lure him away from this unhealthy breakfast option, I started freezing homemade muffins just for him. He loves the homemade goodies and I love that he’s eating much better!

I dofreeze cooked meats, as in cooked chicken that I have chopped & prepped for another dish I’m planning and it REALLY saves time!

I love my big chest freezer – it saves us so much money!! I’ve not tried freezing whole meals before, though, I definitely ought to try that. Thanks for the tips!

PS – I left a little something for you on my blog of the award variety – I hope you like it!

These are some great tips – I really need to work the freezer more. I do the hamburger and chicken things and they really do save time later, but I’ve never frozen full meals. That’s something I need to work on. Thanks for the helpful suggestions!

Ha! I was just thinking today…”I wonder how I can make the most of my freezer. What all can I store in there?”

I’ve been cooking hamburger all at once and freezing the rest. I also do the same for chicken but haven’t thought of shredding the meat first.

Thank you for the excellent ideas.

I do these things too, and I love them. It gives me an excuse to make my husband cook dinner more often.

Yep I do all these things and find they are HUGE timesavers in the kitchen.
