Freezer Meals

For those of you who have done this I have a question.

When you make freezer meals do you include meals that have veggies? Like a stew or soup where you used fresh veggies.

Also what kind of meals have you made that you found work well doing this? And what have you found that wasn't as good?

Re: Freezer Meals

  • I will freeze any PRE-COOKED veggies. Soups are great frozen. I have done home-made chicken noodle, beef vegetable, and chili. If I am doing noodles, I will make those the day of and throw them in. I also pre-made a lot of spaghetti sauce, making the noodles the day of, and taco meat. I tried doing pre-packed meals that I can toss in the crock pot, like a beef roast, but those frozen veggies were NOT a good idea. They were very mushy. Instead, I bought frozen veggies and added those as I needed them. 

    I just bought a taste of home magazine that was all freezer friendly meals and they look very tasty!!!

  • If you're making a casserole with fresh veggies just bake it before you freeze it, then thaw it in your fridge and bake to heat up. If it's a crock pot meal I just throw the veggies in, uncooked and freeze it. Although to be honest, since you're going to freeze the veggies anyways I usually don't use fresh veggies, I use frozen instead.

    For casseroles I find items that are saucier, like a lasagna, are better frozen and reheated. For crock pot meals there's usually some liquid in there already so it's not as big of a deal.
