Freezer meals

I like to make freezer meals once in awhile,

b/c it's just easy to pull stuff out and still have that homemade taste!

Here's a couple of my favorite recipies:

Ooey Gooey Mexican Chicken

*3 chicken breasts (cooked and shredded) (I use one big can)
*1 can cream of chicken
*1 can cream of mushroom
*1 cup salsa
*1 (15-ounce) drained and rinsed black beans
*1 (4-ounce) diced green chilies
*1 tsp. chili powder
*1 tsp. cumin
*¼ tsp. pepper
1 ½ cups shredded Monterey jack cheese

*Mix together and label and freeze
When ready to cook put in the crock pot and stir cheese in at the end.
Serve in tortillas or serve in a bowl with tortilla chips and sour cream.

¾ tsp. Tabasco sauce
1 (26-ounce) spaghetti sauce

*Cook beef, onion, carrots, and celery together until beef is cooked and veggies are tender. Add all other ingredients EXCEPT noodles- mix well and freeze. When ready to serve, add dry noodles to soup mixture until noodles are tender and soup is hot.
