Forums:
Hi everyone!
I'm looking for awesome freezer recipes now that i'm approaching 36 weeks pregnant. So far I've got quite a bit in my freezer, including lasagna, baked pesto alfredo, enchiladas, quesadilas, and tons of muffins. If anyone has any great recipes that can be prepped and throw in the freezer, especially crock pot recipes, post em here 
I am jealous that you have a
I am jealous that you have a freezer you can stock..lol. I have a side by side and I just feel like I don't have enough room. I have some peaches and fruit saved and a bit of meat and I have a hard time finding room for a couple of lean cuisines. lol.
I just did a big freezer meal
I just did a big freezer meal prep myself...37 weeks pregnant here!
Let me know if you want recipes for any of the ones I did...
- Goulash (froze without the noodles, will just need to bring to boil and cook noodles in it)
- Chili
- Chinese Pie (it's not Chinese at all...its a ground beef/corn/elbow macaroni mixture topped with mashed potatoes. I make a white gravy to go on top too)
- Dirty Rice (has sausage & ground beef in it, beans, rice, tomatoes)
- Pulled pork (for sandwiches with BBQ sauce, or tacos)
- Shredded chicken (for sandwiches, tacos, salads, enchiladas, etc.)
Lasagna Cupcakes 1/3 pound
Lasagna Cupcakes
1/3 pound ground beef
Salt and pepper
24 wonton wrappers
1 3/4 cups Parmesan cheese grated
1 3/4 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
1 cup pasta sauce
Basil for garnish, optional
1.Preheat oven to 375ºF. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
2.Brown beef in a skillet and season with salt and pepper. Drain.
3.Cut wonton wrappers into circle shapes, about 2 1/4-inches wide, using a biscuit cutter or the top of a drinking glass. You can cut several at a time. Tip: For a more rustic look, leave wonton wrappers uncut.
4.Reserve 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese and 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese for the top of your cupcakes. Start layering your lasagna cupcakes. Begin with a wonton wrapper and press it into the bottom of each muffin tin cup. Sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese in each. top with a little meat and pasta sauce.
5.Repeat layers (wonton, Parmesan, ricotta, mozzarella, and pasta sauce). Top each cupcake with some of the reserved Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
6.Bake for 18-20 minutes or until edges are brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. To remove, use a knife to loosen the edges, then pop each lasagna cupcake out. Garnish with basil and serve. I serve these with a nice salad.
NOTE: I let these cool and then freeze them. You can put them in a container or individual Ziploc bags. They heat up nicely in the microwave. One is ideal for little ones.
I make stuffed bell peppers
I make stuffed bell peppers (rice, tomatoes, ground beef, cheese) in a batch and freeze them individually. I also make homemade chicken pot pies to freeze - to die for - so much better than the ones from the store.
