The Results....



Usually I do all my cooking on a Saturday, but our schedule simply didn't permit for me to do that this time.  So I spread it out over a week.  I like the one day much better, but this did work.  This was my biggest cooking day so far and I am so happy with the results!  Here is a list of the meals I made....

6x Hamburger Stew
8x Lancaster Beans(this is a burger/bacon/beans mixture)
5x Beef Chimichangas
3x Meat Loaf
6x Mexican Meat Filling(I use for taco's and taco salad)
12x Pizza Burgers(one of our kids favorites)
4x Sloppy Joes
5x Taco-Filled Pasta Shells (a favorite)
3x Tater Tot casserole
5x Breakfast Quiche
4x Creamy Corn Bread
5x Oven French Toast sticks
7x Cheese-Filled Shells
3x Sweet n Sour Kielbasa
4x BBQ Baked Chicken
4x Chicken in a Pot (this is chicken breast and cream cheese YUM)
6x Country Chicken Pot Pie
4x Crescent Chicken Squares
8x Chicken in Marinade
8x Tangy Chicken Strips
4x Turkey Chili

Plus I grilled up some BBQ chicken for our chicken pizzas, have 6lbs of burger frozen, and several other little items.  Several of the meals will be two meals for us, but I wanted a few bigger ones in case we had company!

So with all that I ended up with 114 meals plus!  By my calculations that will last us six months plus let us bless a few people too!  Each meal ended up at $3.99!!!  I strive to find deals on the ingredients to make sure I stay below $4 a meal!  I know I couldn't make these meals weekly for this price.  Plus the convenience of having these meals frozen and ready to go is such a stress reliever to our family!

While the week of cooking isn't the most fun, I do love the finished product!  All the freezers are full and we are ready for the next few busy months!  How do you handle meal time preparation at your house?
