Let’s make dinner time as easy as grabbing a meal from your freezer!

Recipes to Get You Started!

**Hearty Beef Stew:**

This stew is a freezer classic. It’s packed with tender beef, veggies, and rich broth. Freeze in portions, and you’ll have a comforting dinner ready to go on those chilly fall nights.

**Chicken Enchiladas:**

These cheesy, saucy enchiladas are perfect for freezing. Assemble them in a foil tray, freeze, and bake when you’re ready for a fiesta in your kitchen.

**Slow Cooker Pulled Pork:**

Dump all the ingredients into a freezer bag, and on a busy day, throw it into the slow cooker. A few hours later, you’ve got tender, juicy pulled pork perfect for sandwiches or tacos.

**Vegetable Lasagna:**

Layer up this veggie-packed lasagna and freeze it before baking. When you’re ready, pop it in the oven for a wholesome, meatless dinner.

**Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry:**

Pre-chop your veggies and marinate the chicken in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to eat, just thaw, stir-fry, and serve with rice for a quick, healthy meal.
