1 PORK BARBECUE
Place pork roast and BBQ sauce in crockpot. Cook on low 8-10 hours. Shred, cool, bag and freeze. You can freeze the buns as well, so you have enough for your family, and can buy them in bulk. Reheat and serve on buns with slaw on the side: This will make three meals for us. We just need to buy 3 packs of buns. 2 Freezer Bagel Pizzas
1. Brown beef and onion in large skillet; drain. Note: use real mozzarella cheese 3 Shredded Beef Tacos
Place pot roast in crockpot. Cover with taco seasoning. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until tender. Shred beef, and cool. Place beef in 1 quart freezer bag. In separate 1 quart freezer bags, place the following: 1 - 2 c. shredded cheese of your choice Assemble meat, cheese, sauce and 1 package flour tortillas in 1 gallon freezer bag. Lay flat to freeze. To serve: Thaw all ingredients. Reheat meat and place some in the center of each tortilla. Add cheese, and any other fresh toppings you want (onions, olives, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.) and fold in half. Enjoy! This should make 2-3 meals for us. Add extra cheese and tortillas to the list. 4 Bacon Cheeseburger Rice 1 ½ lb. ground beef Cooked rice (I use about 3 c.) Brown and drain beef. While beef is cooking, mix together soup, onion soup mix, bacon pieces and cheese. Add to browned hamburger. Simmer on low until cheese is just melted, and soup is jut to boiling. Allow to cool and ladle sauce into 1-gallon freezer bag. To serve, allow to thaw overnight in refrigerator and reheat on stovetop or in microwave. Mix well with hot cooked rice. You could also freeze this in a reusable casserole dish with the rice for easier thawing/cooking. I leave the rice out when freezing only to save freezer space. 5 Broccoli Stuffing Casserole INGREDIENTS: 1 cup mayonnaise 1 can cream of celery soup, undiluted 2 eggs, beaten 2 pkgs (10oz each) frozen chopped broccoli, cooked and drained 2 tablespoons minced onion 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp seasoned salt pepper, to taste 1 cup herb-seasoned stuffing mix 2 tablespoons butter PREPARATION: Grease a 2-quart casserole and set aside.

Pork Onion Casserole 2-4 center cut pork chops
Serves 4-5 17 Home-Style Meat Loaf
Serves 5 18 Potatoes Romanoff Here's an easy recipe for when you're entertaining. You can prepare them ahead of time and then bake later at dinner while you're visiting with your company. 6 russet potatoes, peeled Cut the potatoes into thirds and they will cook faster. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and simmer until a fork pokes easily through them. The smaller the pieces, the faster they'll cook. If you're not in a hurry, you can leave them whole. Drain when done. Whip the potatoes with the milk. Add the sour cream, salt, pepper, onions if you're using them, and 3/4 cup of cheese. Beat together. I use my big standing mixer for this, but if you've got one, use a hand mixer in the same pot as the potatoes cook in and save a dish. Butter a 9x9 pan or small casserole dish. Spread the mashed potatoes in it, cover with the remaining grated cheese, and sprinkle paprika over the top. Cover and refrigerate if you want. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes (depending on whether the potatoes got cold or not) and serve. Options: You can use cottage cheese instead of or in addition to the sour cream. Freeze Ahead. You could also freeze this. Line your baking dish with foil first, leaving a few inches of foil hanging over the edges. Put the potatoes in, cover with more foil, and freeze. When solid, remove the foil and wrap the edges up over the top, then slip into a freezer bag and label. Thaw and bake as above.
