Food rut - help please

Because of work and trying to save money we tend to eat a lot of meals which we can cook in bulk, then freeze in portions. However, we basically have 3 such meals - having one portion of these every week is wearing thin and we need a change. They are:

Bolognaise
Chicken and veg curry
Chilli

Please suggest other meals that we can cook a massive pot of and freeze in portions?

Thanks!!

Make a massive lasagne to portion & freeze.
Beef casserole with slow cooked diced beef -although that’s more wintery.
Beef stroganoff
Chicken casserole
We make the mince & gravy element for cottage pie then portion & freeze so just make fresh mash whilst it’s defroting & heating.

This curry is fairly cheap and freezes well. If you use frozen spinach it will be even cheaper.

Almost and curry freezes well.
Chicken tagine (extra brilliant as it goes with cous cous which is super simple!)
Sausage casserole
Fish pie
I always make a load and freeze when cooking falafel and fish cakes
Chicken, bacon and leek pasta bake
Macaroni cheese
Tuna pasta bake

Peanut chicken (like a satay style curry)

Chicken and chorizo stew

Macaroni cheese

You can bake jacket potatoes then freeze them and microwave from frozen.

You can also make sandwiches/paninis with various combos....ham and cheese, pepperoni, cheese and peso. Freeze them individually wrapped then you can put in toastie maker if you have one straight from frozen.

I could eat that now even though I'm still full from dinner 😋
