Twenty family dinners in the freezer, made on two afternoons. This freezer meal plan gives you 20 make-ahead recipes that serve four to six, a big-batch shopping list and a step-by-step assembly plan for each session, printable labels with thaw and reheat instructions, and a freezer inventory.
Every recipe page covers assembly, freezing, thawing and cooking, with quantities, oven and slow-cooker times and the safe temperature to check (165°F for chicken and casseroles, 160°F for ground beef and eggs, 145°F plus a rest for pork tenderloin).
THE 20 DINNERS
Session one: chicken taco soup, honey-garlic chicken thighs, beef and bean chili, spinach and ricotta stuffed shells, chicken and black bean enchiladas, turkey meatballs in marinara, lentil and vegetable soup, black bean and sweet potato burritos, salsa verde chicken, baked mac and cheese with broccoli.
Session two: slow-cooker beef ragù, beef shepherd's pie, chicken and wild rice soup, mild coconut chicken curry, sausage, white bean and kale soup, beef and barley stew, freezer chicken Parmesan, turkey sloppy joes, sausage, egg and cheese breakfast burritos, apple-Dijon pork tenderloin.
A mix of raw slow-cooker bags, cooked soups and stews, casseroles that bake straight from frozen, and wrapped burritos.
