If you’ve been around the blog before, you have probably heard me talking about freezer cooking. I’m a huge fan!
Freezer cooking can be done in a lot of different ways. The way I do my freezer cooking is to make a big batch of a few different meals, and freeze them in perfect portions for us.
There are just 2 of us, so this freezer cooking plan will show you how a plan for freezer cooking for 2. You can use this plan for any family size, but you will adjust how you portion your meals.

Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, dash hot sauce, dash Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tbsp chili powder, 2 tsp garlic salt (Optional: Add basil leaves and dried oregano. I was out of these spices, so I used the seasoned diced tomatoes)
Divide ground beef between spaghetti sauce and chili. Stir and let simmer.
Add remaining 1 lb. of ground beef to skillet and brown.
Mix taco seasoning packet with 2/3 cup of water.
While meat is browning, you can label your bags for the chicken freezer meals:
2 bags – BBQ Chicken
3 bags – Italian Chicken
3 bags – Honey Mustard Chicken
Drain ground beef on paper towel to remove grease. Add back to skillet with taco seasoning. Let simmer.
While all the beef meals are simmering on the stove, you can make your chicken freezer meals.
To make the BBQ Chicken:
Slice 2 large chicken breasts into 8 tenders.
Divide between 2 labeled bags.
Add BBQ sauce to bag and rub to coat chicken and seal bag.
To make the Italian Chicken:
Slice 3 large chicken breasts into 12 tenders.
Divide between 3 labeled bags.
Add Italian dressing to bags and seal.
To make Honey Mustard Chicken:
In a small bowl, mix honey and dijon mustard with 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes and whisk.
Using 3 large chicken breasts, cut the chicken horizontally to make 2 thinner breasts. Then, cut those in half creating 4 small, thin chicken pieces from each breast.
Using a basting brush, coat each chicken piece with the honey mustard mixture.
Place 4 pieces in each labeled bag, and coat the other side with the honey mustard. Seal bags.
