Re: Freezer Meals
It depends on what you consider freezer meals! I keep components on hand and things I can cook from frozen (including leftovers to reheat - I do the cook double and freeze half method), not necessarily whole meals ready to go.
I usually have Meatballs, Marinara, Pesto, broth, and taco meat in my freezer at any given time. I can make several meals from those. Meatball Casserole - meatballs, marinara, pesto or pizza sauce, cheese; bake at 375 until bubbly Also Meatball subs, Italian Wedding Soup (broth, pasta, spinach) Frozen peppers and onions for crock pot/instant pot meals

Re: Freezer Meals
My thought is to do some of everything...cook double and freeze half for casseroles or soup and such, as well as maybe some pre-assembled crockpot meals that I can assemble raw, freeze, and then just have ready to dump in the crockpot when I need it.

Re: Freezer Meals
I made the meals from the original freezer meal cookbook. Took 2 full days to do 30 meals.

I did 15 meals, but doubled those. It was completely worth it.
