Six Make Ahead Freezer Meals

Image
Do you like to save time and money? Make-ahead freezer meals save time and money. I typically make a meal for the three of us and freeze the leftovers. It's always a great idea to have a few meals in the freezer for those busy days. I recommend making extra of every meal during a full week, then you will have a full week of dinners in a pinch. Prepping freezer meals starts with buying enough ingredients to make at least two family meals at once.  Use nonporous containers like glass dishes, freezer bags, and those foil pans you can get 2 for $1.25 at the  Dollar Tree  to store your meals. Most of these recipes are delicious for up to four months.

Make sure to thaw this freezer meal in the fridge the night before to speed up oven cooking time. Get the recipe  here . Chicken Fajita
