Food to freeze

6 replies

Hi everyone.
Just looking for ideas on food to freeze for meals when you haven't got much time for prep, what do you do? I've bought some foil containers today, hoping to do one a week to get a stock going. I've done lasagne today(6 portions) and a mince beef pie (down to 4 portions because 2 people couldn't leave it alone) .
What keeps the best? Thinking of pasta bake. Also recipes welcome,😬

That's a good start!

Virtually anything in a sauce: beef bourguignon, chicken and leek casserole, lamb or chicken curries, chilli con carne, bolognese sauce, (cooked) sausages in a tomato and onion sauce. You can also freeze cauliflower cheese.

If you cook any of those through the week, you could just double the recipe and freeze the other half. You'd soon build up your stock.

Thank you @TedsFederationRep
I was going to do cauliflower cheese today but I didn't do enough white sauce, and once I'd wrecked the kitchen I didn't want to start again 🤣

Buy a joint for roasting (any meat) twice the normal size and make double gravy. Slice the leftovers and freeze in the gravy.
