Just for you Deb, I’m posting some recipes. I don’t remember where these came from. I just had them in my recipe binder. So if you recognize one from a certain source let me know and I’ll give credit where credit is due. 

 

Beef Stroganoff

 

2+ cups of browned ground beef

¼ cup minced onion

1 can diced mushrooms

1 can cream of mushroom soup

2 tsp. beef bouillon

2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

16oz. sour cream

 

To freeze: mix all ingredients and dump into Ziploc bag.

 

To serve: remove from freezer and thaw. Heat thoroughly. I like to add about a cup of milk to mine to thin it some. Serve over cooked noodles. This was enough for 2 meals for my family. You’ll have to judge for yourself

 

Parmesan Chicken

 

3 lbs. boneless chicken breast

1 ½ cups dry Italian bread crumbs

3 eggs beaten

3 8 oz cans of tomato sauce

2 ¼ cups mozzarella cheese

1 tsp. oregano

1 tsp. garlic powder

 

To prepare: dip chicken into eggs and then into bread crumbs. Coat liberally. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 min. per side at 350 degrees. In bowl combine tomato sauce, oregano, garlic powder. Let chicken cool and place in freezer bag. Put tomato sauce and cheese in separate freezer bags. Place 1 chicken, 1 tomato, 1 cheese into a large freezer bag and throw into freezer

 

To serve: Thaw package. Place chicken on bottom of cake pan pour tomato sauce over heat thoroughly. When almost done sprinkle cheese over and cook till it is melted. Serve over cooked spaghetti noodles.

 

Italian Meat Roll

 

2 lbs. ground beef

2 slices of soft bread tore into crumbs

2 eggs

¼ cup diced onion

½ cup tomato juice

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

6 slices deli ham

8 slices provolone

Mix meat, bread, eggs, onion, juice, and seasoning together thoroughly. Pat out into long rectangle on wax paper. (not to thin) Layer ham and then cheese. Roll up to form meatloaf, make sure to seal sides. Flash freeze and then bag

 

To prepare: thaw and then cook at 350 degrees for 1 ½ hours. It will have a pink hue because of the tomato sauce. I have cooked this partially frozen just left it in the oven longer.

 

Beef stir fry

 

1lb. beef flank steak cut into thin strips (cut across the grain)

2 tbsp. soy sauce

½ cup beef broth

1 tsp. ground ginger

1 clove garlic thinly sliced

1 tbsp. cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp. water

2 bell peppers sliced thinly (I use 1 yellow and 1 red)

1 tbsp. honey

1 green onion chopped

1 bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables

3 tbsp. olive oil

 

To freeze: mix soy sauce, beef broth, ground ginger, garlic, honey, green onion. Place meat strips in liquid mixture pour into freezer bag. In another freezer bag put peppers. In a large freezer bag put beef mixture, peppers, and vegetables

 

To prepare: Thaw completely. In wok put oil and sauté vegetables and peppers until almost tender. Remove add 1 tbsp oil and remove beef from liquid and sauté until nearly done. Add vegetables back in. Add the liquid mixture and cornstarch/water. Stir until thickened serve over rice.
