What could I make for my sick neighbour that is easy to transport and heat up

[fieldgold]

My neighbour is ill just home from hospital and quite frail, his wife is not well either with flu or something atm. Their kids live abroad.

I know they can order in food/shopping and will not starve, but as a gesture I would like to make them a couple of home cooked dishes that they can either freeze for another day or reheat etc.

I am blank! Obviously chicken and beef casserole are top of the list, and a pot of homemade chicken and veg soup.

What would you make. I have plenty of dishes and pots and lots of foil trays too!

Thanks.

I've done dumplings with butter too.
Alternatively, a cobbler has savoury scones on top, instead of dumplings.

Little pasties? Could make, freeze and then bake?

Thanks everyone. Was busy today, had to drive DH to the orthopaedic hospital for some awful sounding cortisone injection into his knee. Yikes!

Anyway I am loving your suggestions, they will suit both ourselves and the neighbour. I will make moussaka with sliced potatoes (instead of aubergine) first. I have done it before and it is just so comforting and filling. Until a PP mentioned it I would never have thought of it!

Plenty more on the list, so one dish a week for the neighbour will be done!

You are so good. Have printed off the thread and will place under a magnet on the fridge for reference!

Corned Beef Hash.
Lasagne.
Chilli Con Carne.
Spag Bol.

No more suggestions from me but you sound like a great neighbour.
(House next door to us is up for sale...just mentioning it...)

Can I have your moussaka recipe please fieldgold? It sounds nice.

@Unicyclethief sorry, had a busy few days.

The potato moussaka is exactly the same as the aubergine one. I just substitute par boiled and sliced spuds for the aubergine.

This is an easy recipe, but I don't worry about it being lamb mince either, a mix of minced beef and pork works great too.
