Have you ever wanted to have food on hand that you only have to reheat? What about snacks - nutritious snacks that are simple to pull out a serving ready to "heat n eat"?
I love Feed the Freezer ideas, so as I come across great ideas and recipes I will post them. I love to be able to make up a large batch of items and stick them in the freezer for later. Then if I want a little something, I just pull one out of the container and reheat it. Simple, easy, not a lot of prep and cleanup.
If you come across some great recipes or ideas, let me know. I'll share them and your link.
Well, I can't have a post about it without a recipe now can I? So here is another one, from
Jane's blog that I have edited to make it a Feed the Freezer item:
Not-So-Sloppy JoesWhat you need:
1 large or 2 small cans grands biscuits
1 lb ground beef
2 cans sloppy joe/manwich mix - or ketchup, mustard, and seasonings
cheese (sliced or shredded)
Open your biscuits and place on a cookie sheet. Center a 2 inch diameter cup and press down onto the biscuits to cause an indention.
If using ground beef and seasonings - Cook ground beef and onion. Drain any grease and add ketchup, mustard, and seasonings to your liking or add the sloppy jo/manwich mix and drop 1/3 cup of meat mixture into wells in biscuits.
Bake at 375ยบ for 12-17 minutes, until biscuits are golden.
Allow to cool, then place on a cookie sheet so that the sides are not touching. Place in the freezer until frozen (approx 3 hours). Remove from freezer and place in freezer bag or plastic freezer container. Place cheese in freezer with the container.
When you are ready to use, simply remove as many or as few as you would like, place on a cookie sheet, bake in the oven at 350 until warm throughout. Sprinkle with shredded cheese(or place sliced cheese on top) and place back into the warm oven until cheese melts.
These are a great afternoon snack!
To make in bulk - just multiply the recipe to suit your needs.
