    Basic Freezer Meals

    Oven Baked Chicken Parma Balls

    Freezing tips: These yummy little balls can be prepared, cooked with the tomato sauce and cheese and then frozen (ready to be defrosted reheated!). Alternatively, you can freeze the chicken balls uncooked and then cook them once they've defrosted. 

    Substitutions: Substitute the chicken mince for turkey, beef, lamb or pork mince. To save time, use a jar of store-bought tomato pasta sauce instead of making your own. 

    Serving suggestions: Serve with pasta, mashed potato, polenta, salad or vegetables.

    Egg & Bacon Pie

    Freezing tips: Bake the pie and then allow to cool completely. Wrap in plastic wrap and cover in foil before freezing.

    Substitutions: Use ham instead of bacon or omit entirely for a vegetarian option. Add vegetables such as mushrooms, capsicum, asparagus, leftover roast vegetables, sliced tomato... anything you have lying around! 

    Serving suggestions: Serve with chips and salad.

    10 Tips For Freezing Meals

    Here's some of my top tips for freezing meals:

    • Use airtight containers or sealable plastic bags (like glad bags)
    • Remove the air from plastic sealable bags before sealing (to avoid freezer burn).
    • Alternatively, wrap slices, quiches and pies etc in one layer of plastic wrap and then a layer of foil
    • Allow meals to cool completely before freezing.
    • Freeze meals in the portion-size that you will need (i.e. if you're cooking for just 1 -2 people, divide the meal into several smaller containers before freezing). 
    • Allow frozen meals to defrost in the fridge before reheating (this does not apply to soups that can be reheated directly from frozen). 
    • If you're short on time, you can defrost frozen meals in the microwave before reheating properly. 
    • Label your freezer meal containers so you know what they are (once frozen, it can be tricky to tell what a meal is!). Also include the date that they were frozen.
    • When you add new meals to the freezer, place them at the bottom and move the older meals to the top.
    • Keep a list of what's in your freezer so you know exactly what meals you have available.
