I am starting this blog a few weeks after starting up this new way of living, so I'm adding in the recipes I have already made first. I suggest you spend the first month just storing up your freezer meals, so that you can have a good selection when you do start using your freezer meals and don't just have to have the same dish twice in one week.
Week 1~Pizza Pasta Casserole
2 lbs ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
2 jars (28 oz each) spaghetti sauce
1 pkg (16 oz) spiral pasta
4 cups (16 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
8 oz sliced pepperoni
Cook spiral pasta noodles according to package instructions. While pasta is cookibg, in a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef and onion together ground beef is no longer pink; drain fat. Stir in spaghetti sauce and pasta, once noodles are cooked and drained. Spray 2 9"x13" baking casseroles with non-stick cooking spray, and divide mixture into both casseroles evenly. Sprinkle each with cheese and top with pepperoni.
Go ahead and bake one at 350F for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese on top is bubbly and browning.
For the other one, cool if needed, then cover and freeze. I write the dish name, date made, and reheat instructions on the foil wrapper using a sharpie pen.
ETA: You can freeze this in a disposable aluminum baking dish, and wrap with aluminum foil.
To cook: Thaw casserole in fridge overnight. Bake at 350F for 35-40 minutes or until heated through.
