Main Dishes
To make a pulled beef or pork roast into a freezer meal, i buy three roasts and make a
triple batch of sauce. Salt the roasts and place in a freezer bag. Divide sauce into three
sandwich size bags and throw in with the roasts. Label and freeze.
In the morning before work, plug in crockpot and set to low. Add frozen roast and
microwave sauce packet for 30 seconds to start defrosting. put sauce packet on top and
add lid. Cook 6-8 hours and serve on buns.
(You could also add to crockpot around lunchtime and cook on high 4-5 hours)
Put roast in large crock pot. Mix all other ingredients together and pour over
the top. Cook on low, 12-16 hours. Pull apart beef and leave in the crock
pot. Serve on kaiser buns with corn on the cob and coleslaw.
When freezing meatloaf, mix meat mixture and place into freezer bag. Mix sauce
topping and place into smaller bag. Take meatloaf mixture inside of the freezer bag and
press into a meat loaf pan. Since you are shaping it inside the bag, it can easily be
removed and frozen without having to freeze your pan. Add sauce mixture to bag, label
and freeze.
When you are ready to cook, remove meatloaf from bag and place inside meatloaf pan
and place in the oven. Cook for 30 min, then microwave sauce bag until defrosted and
place on top. Cook for 50 more minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan. Mix
hamburger, onion, and cracker crumbs. Mix eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic,
and 1/2 T worcestershire sauce together and add to meat. Mix thoroughly
and press into loaf pan. Mix brown sugar, ketchup, steak sauce and 1/2 T
worcestershire sauce together and pour on top of the meatloaf. Bake in
preheated oven for 1 hour or until juices are clear.
This recipe is basically just an upside-down cottage pie. Freezing mashed potatoes is
simple and easy and they reheat wonderfully. Triple recipe, place in aluminum casserole
dish, label and freeze.
To reheat, place in oven and add 30-45min to the baking time.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook hamburger until brown and drain.
Combine soup, onion, milk, vegetables, salt and pepper. Use leftover
mashed potatoes or prepare instant potatoes according to package
directions.

To make Sausage Mac n Cheese a freezer meal, i usually triple the recipe and place in
aluminum casserole dishes. Place crumbs in a small bag on top before putting the lid on
or covering in aluminum foil. Label. Freeze.
Most cooked pasta has no problem being frozen and reheated. This Sausage Mac n
Cheese is great reheated, with no worries of the sauce separating.

Boil pasta in salted water, and cook just shy of al dente, according to
package directions. Drain and set aside.
Cook sausage until browned, breaking apart large pieces. Drain and set
aside.
Put croutons in a food processor until they resemble medium bread
crumbs. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the onions and
garlic. Cook until onions are transparent. Add the butter. When the
butter melts, whisk in the flour and cook about a minute. Whisk in the milk
gradually, and season with salt and ground black pepper, then bring up to a
bubble. Turn the burner off and stir in the cheese until it''s all melted.
Combine pasta and sausage in the sauce and mix. Put in baking dish
and cook for 30min at 350 degrees. Top with crouton crumbs and bake
another 15min until hot and bubbly. It is also good with ham and peas added
instead of sausage.
5.
Soups can be very easy to triple, make ahead and freeze. However, soups tend to be one
of the most time consuming meals to reheat. I find most soups are better given time to
heat in the crockpot, as reheating on the stove will require more supervision. I usually
make a triple batch of any soup and then divide into three large freezer bags. Label and
place in freezer vertically to freeze.
I find if you lay the bag flat in the freezer, the flat frozen soup will be hard to fit in a pot
or crockpot.
TACO SOUP

lb hamburger
can tomato sauce
can niblets corn
can stagg chili
pkg taco seasoning
Method
Brown hamburger and drain fat. Add cans and heat through. Mix seasoning
in one cup water and add to soup. Serve hot with sour cream and taco chips.
Marinades are excellent for adding flavour but I tend to forget to plan ahead with
enough time to marinade things for hours. Any marinade/sauce and meat combination
is great, because freezing in the sauce helps the marinade penetrate deeper. Then
whenever you decide to eat you can pull from the freezer, place in a lightly greased
9x13 baking dish and cook in the oven. Some of our favourite marinades are teriyaki,
sweet and sour, or honey mustard.
In a small saucepan over medium heat combine sugar, soy sauce, vinegar,
garlic, ginger and black pepper. Add corn starch to water and set aside.
Bring sauce to a boil and add cornstarch and water. Return to a boil and boil
one minute stirring constantly. Place pork chops in glass baking dish and
cover with teriyaki sauce. Cook for 30-40 minutes or until pork chops are
done, basting if desired. Serve over rice with stir fry veggies. If using as a
marinade omit corn starch and water, cover pork chops and refrigerate
overnight.

Sauce: Place the sugars, vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup & pineapple juice
in a medium saucepan. Add cornstarch to cold water and set aside.
Bring sauce to a boil and add cornstarch and water. Boil for one minute
stirring constantly.

This recipe for Funeral Potatoes and Ham contains sour cream and has no problem with
separating, make as directed. Sour cream can be tricky though, especially if reheating a
recipe on the stove top. If a recipe calls for sour cream in the sauce, make sauce as
directed without sour cream, freeze, then add sour cream at the end when sauce has
been reheated.

Use corn flakes and butter for a crunchier topping.

I usually triple this recipe and dive into three freezer bags. When freezing rice, give it a
chance to cool before placing in freezer bags and freezing.
I prefer reheated rice for most asian dishes, as it more closely resembles restaurant fried
rice!
