What are your favorite dinners to make extras of and then freeze? I want to start putting aready made dinners on the freezer, but not sure which recipes are better then others. Any tips?

Eggrolls and chicken pot pies.

Chili is good. Can use it more ways than one.

I like to make up a big batch of cabbage rolls to freeze too.

Any stews or soups are my fav. Spag sauce works really well too.

Piney.....cookie dough?? what kind and how do you recommend to freeze it? Thanks in advance

 

[Palooka]

I freeze soups probably more than anything.

 

[Brat]

Hamburgers cooked on the charco grill..Smoked roasts, and chickens..warm in the oven in the winter or even the microwave.

Eggrolls and chicken pot pies.

These both sound good....are they posted in the recipe threads? I'd especially like to try the egg rolls.

I'm not the cookie dough poster, but I've done it often. Almost any ordinary cookie recipe should be ok, like peanut butter, sugar cookies, chocolate chip. I've frozen them in "drop" form on cookie sheets and then bagged them, or made it into logs (like the Pillsbury refrigerated ones), wraped in plastic wrap and then in foil. I mostly to it that way, because it's much more space efficient, and it thaws quickly.

I don't usually freeze whole meals, but try to keep ingredients on hand for really quick throw-things-in-a-skillet dinners -- like pre-cooked chopped chicken and ground meat.
