If only you could even out the time in your favor.
Today, we're bringing you the next best thing to a time machine for your dinnertime woes: ## recipes you can cook now, freeze, and enjoy later.
The first one?
1. Baked Ziti
From the chef:
"So I recently joined a freezer meal group in my neighborhood- once a month we will be getting together and each person prepares 5 meals of the same freezer meal. We then swap meals, sending each lady home with 5 different meals, ready to eat in a matter of minutes! Brilliant!"
2. Black Bean Taco Soup
From the chef:
"This is one of my family's favorite meals- we eat it year-round! And not only is it yummy, but it is so easy- just dump all the ingredients in, mix together, and simmer for about 25 minutes. It's totally fail-proof."
3. Slow Cooker Creamy Salsa Chicken
From the chef:
"There is no easier meal than this one! Easy to prep and freeze for another day. Be sure to check out SixSistersStuff.com for more freezer meals!"
4. Crockpot Chicken Posole
From the chef:
"This Mexican soup is so much fun to "dress up" after making it- sprinkle it with some cheese, serve it with corn chips or tortillas, add a little sliced radish or lime juice for a bit of extra pizazz- you can add whatever sounds good to you!"
5. Slow Cooker Cilantro Lime Chicken
From the chef:
"A quick and easy meal to prep ahead of time, stick in the freezer, and cook on a busy day!"
6. Slow Cooker Beef and Mushrooms
From the chef:
"This is one of my go-to slow cooker meals- just throw ingredients together and dinner will be ready after simmering all day!"
7. Slow Cooker Black Bean and Corn Salsa Chicken
From the chef:
"My cute friend Jamie made this recipe for our Freezer Meal group last month and I have made it at least three times since then! It is so yummy and incredibly easy to throw together. And just like the Slow Cooker Bajio Chicken, it is so versatile! You can serve it over rice, in tortillas, with chips, or eat it like chili. We love it!"
8. Ham & Cheese Casserole
"This is one of the easiest assembly freezer meals that I have made. I was able to assemble and package 8 meals in less than an hour. This meal is a great go-to for taking to new moms or those in need."
9. Chicken & Vegetable Freezer Meal
From the chef:
"I was out f town last week so I made lots of freezer meals for my husband. One that was super easy is this frozen chicken and vegetable dinner."
