Food to freeze and reheat

[Icedlatteplease]

In a couple of months time I need to have a week's worth of food for one person that can be reheated either in the oven or microwave.

I will have by then some chilli's, cottage pie, cauliflower cheese/pasta. The best thing is dishes that have the veg included. At the moment its a little mince heavy. I wondered if there is something like a tray bake that I might be able pre-prep and freeze.

Tbh it would be handy anyway for those days when I am just too tired to cook.

I use inexpensive frozen lamb leg steaks. Freezes well, easy to split into portions.

Also can split into portions. If freezing omit prawns and peas. I add broccoli, fine beans, leeks or whatever veg you have before adding potato topping

Beef stew, chicken stew, casseroles, homemade Indian curry, homemade Thai curry, spag bol (onion, peppers & grate carrot & courgette into it and add chopped spinach towards the end of cooking), fajita filling, soups.

I find things that don't have a sauce don't freeze as well.

Chicken and veg curry
Pulled Chicken and black bean chilli (can add extra veg)
Chicken and roast veg lasagne
Sausage and mixed pepper ragu with penne

In my freezer atm

Chicken fried rice
Mac and cheese
Pasta bake
Spag bol

Thank you all!

@allthehops do you have a recipe for the chicken and roast veg lasagna and the chicken and veg curry

@Raera thank you for the receipes!

@jellytots18 is that just a regular egg fried rice type thing? Do you have any worries reheating?

Yep I just use the leftover roast chicken and stock on a Sunday, cooked rice, soy, veggies! I've never worried about it but I know people can be funny about reheating rice I just make sure i microwave for a good 6/7 minutes so it's piping hot xx never made me ill x

@jellytots18 Thank you!

Daal?
Freezes really well, easy to reheat, just serve with a toasted naan or pita alongside.
