Chicken Enchiladas Freezer Meal

This freezer meal is for two meals. Just follow recipe and when rolling tortillas, split evenly among two freezer pans.

21 oz cream of chicken soup

2 cups salsa

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

4 tsp chili powder

1 tsp cumin

3 lbs chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

8 oz shredded cheddar cheese

flour tortillas

Combine soup, salsa, sour cream, beans, chili powder, and cumin. In another bowl mix 2 cups of that mix with the chicken and 1 cup cheese. Fill and roll up tortillas. Place in freezer pans. Top with remaining soup mix and cheese. Cover with foil and freeze.  

To bake, cook at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. 

Salsa Chicken Crock Pot Freezer Meal

1.5 lb chicken breast

The first time we had this I just served it as whole chicken breasts with some veggies as a side dish. 

The second time, I added taco seasoning and served on tortillas with chips and rice.  It was lots better as tacos, but still good either way. 

Mike said I have to make tacos like this everytime.

Crock Pot Freezer Meal Golden Chicken & Noodles

The crock pot freezer meals I made a few weeks ago are running out. =(  I have another list of some that I want to try, but it will probably be a few more weeks before I get them all prepared.  Today's recipe is golden chicken & noodles. I made this the other day, but we ended up going shopping and just ate dinner out so I threw it into the fridge and just warmed it up the next night. It was delicious.

 10 3/4 oz can broccoli cheese soup

1 Cup milk

1 tsp basil

On cooking day, just dump bag into crock pot and cook on low for 5-7 hours.

Cook pasta al dente' and mix in before serving. 

Crock Pot Freezer Meal Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

Ready for another crock pot freezer meal? This recipe was delicious. The broccoli was in smaller pieces so it was easily hidden from the kiddos and I so we ate it with no complaining.

1 ½ pounds chicken breasts

1 (16 oz) bag frozen broccoli florets

2 (16 oz) jars Alfredo sauce
pasta (on cooking day, do not freeze)

To freezer, just put all ingredients (except pasta) in a gallon freezer bag.

1 can pinto beans

Crock Pot Freezer Meals- Part 2

I'm back for part 2 of Crock Pot Freezer meal recipes. I did part one last year and it was amazing. It was so nice to just grab a bag from the freezer and toss it in the crock pot and continue with the rest of my day.

This time around I gathered 5 recipes to try out. I try to find recipes that have similar ingredients so it cuts down on my grocery spending. Then I just space them out when eating them so we're not eating chicken 6 days in a row.  Here's what I made-

Creamy Ranch Pork Chops & Potatoes

Tortilla Soup

Bean Tater Tot Casserole

Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

Golden Chicken & Noodles

*Edit* Since I was using my crock pot almost every day for a week, I bought these Reynold's Slow Cooker Liners.   It was so nice to just put the leftovers away, grab the liner, toss it in the trash and not have to wash the crock pot every night. 

Freezer Breakfast Wraps

When we stop at dunkin donuts I usually get a wake up wrap instead of a donut.  I decided to make them at home to cut some costs and to also give me a quick breakfast to throw in the microwave and go. 

All you need is some cheese, some sausage patties and tortilla shells. You could also add eggs or anything else you like. 

First I cooked all the sausage. Then I cut the tortillas in half and put cheese and a sausage patty on each side. Folded them up and they were all done.   I wrapped them up individually and tossed them in the freezer.  To reheat, just put in microwave for 45-60 seconds or until warm.
