Meal Prepping...Freezer Meals

 I went grocery shopping early on Saturday morning as soon as we got home, I started on my freezer meals.  Here is a photo of 21 finished meals that went into the freezer!

 I mixed up a couple of pounds of meatloaf mixture...

 I ended up putting them in the mini loaf pans.  Sometimes we only need a tiny meatloaf and if I need more then I will bake a couple of them.  You can either bake them ahead of time or just freeze them raw.  I do it both ways but these are frozen raw.  I ended up with 6 of these.

 I covered them with some sauce and covered them with foil and into the freezer they went.  Just thaw and bake!

 I made 7 more Tater Tot Casseroles...this is before I added the cheese.

 I added a good thick layer of cheese, covered with foil and into the freezer they went!

 Also 5 more Baked Spaghetti's!

 Also I forgot to take a photo of them but you can see them in the complete photo here....Ranch House Crock Pot Pork Chops.  They will just go in the freezer and then cooked in the Crock Pot.  I ended up with 3 of those. 

 I also had a package of boneless chicken breast that I split up into 4 packs of 2 chicken breasts each.  Those will be used for various meals. 

 After a few hours of work everything was finished and in the freezer!  Then I decided that we would have one of the baked spaghetti's with some garlic toast for supper. 

 Just some freezer meal ideas!  This is so much easier for me not to mention it also saves money in the long run!

Tater Tot Casserole Freezer Meal...

 Early this morning I started making a few Tater Tot Casseroles!  Yum-Yum!   These are very simple to make ahead and freeze and also very versatile.  You an add anything that you want and I usually add more than I did in these but I just used what I had.  :)

 I started with 2 lbs of lean ground beef and a chopped onion.  Fried those up and also added some garlic seasoning, salt, pepper, and some chili powder.  If I have it on hand I will also add some green peppers or even a can of kidney beans. 

 Here are the other ingredients that I add....cream of mushroom soup, tater tots and cheddar cheese!!!

 First I spray my pans with nonstick spray and drain my meat mixture really well.  I divide out my meat mixture into my pans.

 Add a layer of cream of mushroom soup over the meat mixture...

 Add a layer of tater tots....

 Another layer of cream of mushroom soup...

 Top it with a good coating of cheddar cheese!!!

 In total I ended up with 5 loaf pans...that's 5 meals!!!!  That comes to a little over $3 per meal!!!!!

 I covered these with foil and wrote the baking directions on top.  Since everything is precooked all I have to do it pop them in the oven to heat through.  I usually bake them at 350 until the cheese is good and melted then I remove the foil and brown the cheese a little.
