Stocking the freezer | Individual freezer meals | 5 different meals!!

This week I decided to make a bunch of homemade frozen meals for my freezer. I have some picky eaters in my family so this will make it easy for them to choose something to eat if they don’t like what we are having. They will also be nice to have for a quick meal.

Here is a video of how I make the rice in the microwave:    • How To Cook Rice In The Microwave

Sweet and Sour Meatballs (Family Recipe)

For the meatballs:
1 lb ground beef
1 lb breakfast sausage
1 Tbsp Kinder salt, pepper and garlic mix (or similar)
½ c. finely chopped onions
1 Lg egg
1 tsp soy sauce

Mix together ingredients and shape into 1 inch balls. Place on a non-stick or greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 F for 18 minutes (internal temp should reach 165 F).

For the sauce:

2 Tbsp. Ketchup
½ c plus 2 tbsp. Brown sugar
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp salt
½ c. rice vinegar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 red bell pepper, chopped (optional)

Drain pineapple, reserve juice and set aside. Add enough water to the juice to make 1 ½ c. liquid. Combine all other ingredients into liquid and stir until mixed. In a saucepan, bring to a boil and add the red pepper and pineapple, reduce heat, add meatballs. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Serve over rice.

Spaghetti and meatballs

For the meatballs:
1 lb ground beef
1 lb breakfast sausage
1 Tbsp Kinder salt, pepper and garlic mix (or similar)
½ c. finely chopped onions
1 Lg egg
1 tsp soy sauce

Mix together ingredients and shape into 1 inch balls. Place on a non-stick or greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 F for 18 minutes (internal temp should reach 165 F).

Cook noodles to package direction and drain. Add your favorite canned spaghetti sauce. Top with meat balls.

Chicken teriyaki

5-6 chicken thighs, in chucks
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. soy sauce (low sodium)
1/4 c. rice wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp cold water

Sauté chicken in a medium high pan until no longer pink. In a separate bowl combine all the above ingredients and whisk well. Turn down the heat on the chicken to medium low and add sauce. Stir until thickened. Remove from heat and serve with rice.


BBQ chicken thighs

5-6 chicken thighs
½-1c. BBQ sauce
1 tsp Chili powder
1 tsp Onion powder
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Smoked paprika
½ tsp Salt and pepper
1 Tbsp. Dark brown sugar

Coat chicken with dry rub on both sides. Brush on bbq sauce. Bake at 425 F for 35-45 minutes. Or grill for 3-5 minutes per side over medium high heat.


Chicken Broccoli Casserole (Family Recipe)

2 lg boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into chunks
2 c. fresh or frozen broccoli

Place the chicken and broccoli in a baking dish, coat with 1 tbsp of oil and salt and pepper. Bake covered for 30 minutes at 400 F, stirring half way through cooking. If you are short on time you can use precooked or canned chicken. You can also steam the broccoli in the microwave.

Boil one small package of egg noodles according to the package directions.

For the sauce:
2-10.5 oz cans of cream of chicken soup (I prefer Pacific Foods organic if you can find it)
1 c. mayonnaise
½-1 c. milk (start with ½ c. and add more if the sauce seems too thick)
1 tsp mild curry powder
Salt and pepper

Mix all of the ingredients together. Add sauce to the cooked chicken, broccoli and noodles. Place in a baking dish. Top with ½ c. shredded parmesan cheese and ½ c. bread crumbs. Bake at 400 F for 30 minutes.
