I need casserole dishes or what I refer to as dump recipes

[MEC5LADY]

I am working a long stretch at work and there is no way I am cooking every night. What recipes do you have that I can make ahead and freeze? :popcorns:

I do lasagna, meatloaf (i've had some good experience doing two servings in a mini-bread pan), baked Ziti, and if you like making pasta - cheese ravioli. Soups are always good, I have a mulligatoni soup that freezes really well. Let me know if any of these sound good and I can post up the recipes.

The mulligantoni soup sounds good if you have the recipe you want to share.:cheers:

It's a recipe I got from my mother who got it from my father's mother...

Mulligatawny soup

Saute - -not brown – in 1/4 cup butter or olive oil:
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1 cup diced carrot
• 2 stalks celery- diced

Stir in 1 1/2 Tablespoons flour and 2 teaspoons curry.

Stir and Cook for 3 min.

Pour in and simmer 30 min 4 cups chicken broth.

Add
• 1/2 cup cooked rice
• 1/2 cup diced cooked chicken
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/3 teaspoon thyme
1 tart apple diced. (You can let it cook for longer and use more chicken if you want).

Simmer for another 15 min.

It freezes really well.

I love casseroles as well.

Have you tried freezing ice water? It's perfect on those hot Summer days! :hurray:

Not exactly gourmet, but you could live on it......cooked macaroni, tuna, canned mushroom soup, toss in some veggies, a little cream, top with cheese, bake, .....dinner. Just like June Cleaver.....:lolsmile:

:D
As a matter of fact, I already have that one under my belt. (oh...literally :leaving:)
I also use ground beef, frozen peas mixed in at the last minute, and then tater tots on top, and bake .
Kids always like to eat this if you call it "Poppin' pea Casserole" The peas pop when you bite into them..kind of fun. :)
