    Cheap freezer meal ideas

    I would like some ideas on re heatable meals as I am working afternoon shift all week so I am not home in the evening to cook.. I have never made a casserole and don't know how! I don't have a slow cooker, but I have an electric frypan which I use for everything as I am in a granny flat so only have a tiny oven.. Tomorrow I am going to make a chicken pasta bake. Yummy!

    How about making a lasagne, then when it's cooled cut it into single serves and freeze it. Or you could make a bolognase sauce and freeze it and just make your pasta when you get home. How about making a chicken and vegetable soup and freezing that into serving sizes. Hope you get some good ideas!

    I've just made some Lasagne and Cottage pies (beef mince with veg and topped with mashed potato and pumpkin) to pop in our freezer. Both yummy when eaten after they've been in the freezer.

    EDIT - I agree with Aussiegirl Chick and Veg soup is cheap to make in bulk and freeze in individual servings. I also have a recipe for Potato and Bacon soup (might sound wierd but it is delicious) that is easy to make and reheat later.

    Not sure about lasange, but casseroles are easy and can be either cooked and left in the fridge for up to three days to reheat as you like
    put any vegies, I use chopped up ( in cubes) potato carrot pumpkin zucchini anything really and add a can of tomato soup and then a can of water, pepper to taste... and cook for an hour or so until its all soft and mushy.... you can add meat chunks or bacon or chicken or whatever meat, lamb is yummy

    Its ds's favourite atm and DH's always, his mums receipe

    Beef Strog
    Savoury Mince
    Roast vege cubes
    Soup - Pea and ham, pumpkin, bacon and lentil (I have an AWESOME Donna Hay Bacon and Lentil Soup recipe if you want me to send it to you)
    Lasagne
    Spiced Vegetables
    Roasted chicken breast and veges

    So many meals you make on a daily basis can actually be frozen.
