Even More Freezer Meals

I did it again!! I made freezer meals, twice in one week!! I'm fairly certain I am starting to show sings that Labor is upon me... so I took this burst of energy I had today, and took advantage.  four different recipes, seven different dinners!

Again I spent roughly $40, perhaps today's was closer to $30, the most expensive part was the chicken, which I swear NEVER goes on sale at the commissary!

I will set up today's post, similar to the other days post, where all four recipes will be on this page, as well as each individual recipe will get its own page! sorry if that's a bit redundant, but I figure it is easier that way!
I was too hungry to add any toppings, or to even toast the bread- but it didn't matter, these are to die for!

Buffalo Chicken Salad Sandwiches
2 cups of chicken- cooked and shredded
1/2 block (4 oz) softened cream cheese
1/2 c ranch dressing
1/4 c. Franks hot sauce
1/4 c. onion

mix all ingredients together.  place in gallon sized zip lock containers.  
To Serve: defrost and serve on what ever bread you have lying around! 
I got hungry mid cooking, and put this sandwich together, nothing fancy, not even toasted, but it was DELICIOUS! 

Taco Soup
1 lb chicken( cubed or shredding) or ground turkey/beef- cooked
1 onion- chopped
1 package taco seasoning
1- 32 oz Diced Tomatoes
1- 15oz can corn
1-15 oz can kidney beans
1-15 oz can pinto beans

mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.  sort into individual zip lock bags and freeze.  
To Serve: put in crock pot on low for 6-8 hours.  Serve with sour cream, corn chips, or cheese on top!






I did add a top pie crust to this, and cleaned up the edges, but you couldn't see how good it looks with a top on it!

Old Fashioned Chicken Pot Pie
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
1/3 cup butter
1/2 cup flour- shifted
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup evaporated milk or half and half
2 cups cooked cubed chicken
1 cup frozen peas
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
4 unbaked pie crusts


in a large pot, saute onions, celery, carrots and butter.  once lightly cooked, mix in flour, until smooth.  add the chicken broth, milk, chicken and peas. and cook until lightly boiling and thick.  let mixture cool *THATS IMPORTANT* fill into pie crusts!
cover with plastic wrap and then foil. and freeze

To Serve: Thaw in fridge, cook at 350 for 30 minutes with no foil on, and then add the foil on top for the last 30 minutes.


would be awesome to add some rice to this chili too!!

Colorado White Chili
1 medium onion- chopped
4 cloves garlic- minced
1- 4.5 oz diced green chiles
1 T. cumin
2 t. Oregano
1/2 t. Crushed red pepper
2- 15.5 oz great northern beans (do not drain)
1- 15.5 oz can sweet corn

combine all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. place individual servings in Zip Lock bags and freeze.
