Freezer meals?

[Pandora452]

Can anyone suggest some good recipes for batch cooking things that taste good reheated

I'm running low on ideas and a bit fed up of shepherds pie/sausage casserole/spag bol

Am happy to spend a day or two cooking all sorts :) Just want it so we can grab something out in the morning and re-heat in in the evening for minimum effort and maximum taste

Thanks

I freeze home made quiche, pasta, macaroni and pizza dough which all taste fine reheated.

will be watching this thread for more ideas though.

Does this help?

We do enchiladas, meatballs, lasagne (meat and vegetable and sometimes even chicken), chicken tikka, steak pie, homemade quiche, sausage cassoulet, cfried rice, soup, ratatouille and burgers.

Risotto. I make at least double every time and freeze the extra. I use Faye Ripley's recipes.

Thanks :)

Daal freezes well, very easy and cheap to make in really large quantities.
