These freezer meals are SO quick to prep, and perfect to tuck away into the deep freeze until it comes time to enjoy them. From easy breakfast ideas, to big batch chilis and soups, to freezer-friendly pastas. Simply thaw, heat, and serve! Here are some tips for freezing meals ahead of time: As a general rule of thumb when making freezer meals, avoid recipes that contain excessive amounts of dairy or cream, fried foods, and veggies with high water content (think cucumbers, celery, cabbage). These ingredients tend to separate or turn mushy once they’ve been frozen and reheated. Reheating times will vary depending on the meals. Pay attention to whether you’re reheating food directly from frozen, thawed in the fridge, or otherwise, as the cooking times may increase. Not all heating methods work the same for all meals. Some freezer meal recipes are great for reheating in the oven, while others may be better suited to the microwave or stovetop. Check recipe notes for the best ways to store, thaw, and warm up your freezer meals!
