I am amazed when I read about freezer meal planning. It can be a lot of work but once you get a plan in place for the day you are cooking all that work really pays off in the long run.
I can manage to get a few things into the freezer for another meal like when I freeze lasagna or stuffed shells that I have as leftovers.
Or if I make a crock pot soup recipe I like to divide it up into portion size containers and reheat it another day for lunch or an easy dinner.
I also love to buy fresh squash, zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes and onions at my local farmers market.
I'll slice the fresh veggies up mix them together and freeze them in quart-size freezer bags for when I make sauteed vegetables for a side dish or I'm cooking Mexican food and I need sliced bell peppers.
I guess I do a bit of freezer meal making but I have never dedicated a day of cooking just for the freezer.
It's something I have always wanted to do.
I'll be picking out a few of these 25 Ground Beef Freezer Meals to get started.

Do you normally bake these completely before freezing or freeze uncooked? I'm still new to freezer casseroles and not sure how to freeze and reheat without directions. :/
Arlene Mobley
Hi Erika some of them can be baked before freezing. Like if you made a large baking pan of one of the casseroles then you could wrap it and freeze it for later. Some of them have cooked meat like ground beef and those would be layered and frozen before baking. Only the recipes with cooked meat or poultry should be frozen.

Hi sounds like some great meals here, but what really caught my attention was the part where you freeze zucchini and summer squash for later side dishes. Can you tell me about that? And what's your reheating process when you want to serve it? How do you find the quality of it? That's one veggie i haven't tried to freeze yet. THANKs!
