I will be posting 10 Days of Freezer Meal Recipes and today is Day 6! See more Freezer Recipes HERE and be sure to read my Easy Tips to Freezer Meal Cooking/Planning post here to get started!

With Spring here and Summer gardening already on the horizon I can’t help but look forward to the bounty of bell peppers we will grow and an abundance of these easy and tasty Stuffed Bell Peppers cropping up on our dinner plates. This came to be in what I like to refer to a “clean out the fridge night” where I had just a little pasta sauce, rice and ground meat to do something with and an excess of fresh bell peppers from our garden. What came about has since been fine tuned into what our family loves and asks for routinely. Make ahead and freeze for simple freezer to oven meals that are filling and help use up that excess of fresh produce.

If making large batches to freeze, allow to cool completely and warp each pepper in plastic wrap then aluminum foil to keep fresh for up to 4 months in freezer. Add an extra 25-30 minutes to cook time if pulling from freezer to oven for perfectly cooked stuffed peppers any week night.

Stuffed Bell Peppers

Ingredients:

6 Large Green Bell Peppers
1 Pound Ground Turkey or Ground Beef
2 Cups Cooked White or Brown Rice
1 Can Diced Stewed Tomatoes
1 Cup Tomato Sauce
2 Tablespoons Italian Seasoning Blend
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar

Directions:

Slice tops off bell peppers and clean inside removing membranes and seeds but leaving pepper intact. Set aside.
In large stockpot, cook ground beef until no longer pink and heated through.
Add in rice, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and Italian Seasoning blend.
Mix together and heat on high for 4-5 minutes.
Spray large casserole dish with non stick spray and preheat oven to 350 degrees
Place bell peppers in casserole dish and scoop rice/meat mixture into each pepper until full.
Sprinkle tops with cheese
May use toothpicks inserted in sides as “legs” to help stabilize bell peppers as needed.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes

These bell peppers will soften as they bake and the wonderful filling will seep flavors into the peppers giving them a nice sweet taste that even the kids will enjoy. Stuffed Bell Peppers are a classic paupers meal that is hearty and inexpensive to make but beautiful enough to present to guests.

When I think of freezer meals I automatically go back to all the great casseroles my mom made when I was a kid and Tater Tot Casserole was one of the most commonly made meals in our home. This version of the classic dish is a simple and satisfying meal the entire family will love. Make ahead and freeze for easy freezer to oven meals or serve same day for a hearty meal your kids will be begging you to make more often. I love this dish because it takes advantage of a lot of items I already pick up for cheap or free using coupons.

This yummy Tater Tot Casserole is one of our favorite freezer meals because it is so easy to mix up a double or triple batch of the meat mixture and layer with tater tots in disposable aluminum pans for freezing and simple reheating. If you freeze this meal for future use, make sure to label appropriately. If stored in an aluminum pan cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil to seal properly and label well. This meal lasts for up to 4 months in the freezer. To heat, simply remove plastic wrap/foil/lid and place in oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

One of my all time favorite meals to make when company is coming over are these Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Roll Ups. Not only do they offer the great classic flavor combination you expect, they are simple to make and present beautifully. This is a great meal to make ahead and freeze for easy to reheat entrees alongside some rice and steamed vegetables that will be perfect to impress the last minute guests. I especially love making these when I happen to get a great deal on chicken on sale and want to prep it before freezing. Make ahead and cook to only have to pop in the oven to reheat or roll them up before freezing raw to cook at the last minute for a tasty meal.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Roll Up

Ingredients:

3 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (cut in half and pounded to 1/4” thick)
6 Slices Ham
6 Swiss Cheese Slices
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
½ Teaspoon Paprika
½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
¼ Cup All Purpose Flour
¼ Cup Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Sauce:

1 Stick Unsalted Butter
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch
2 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
¼ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
½ Cup White Wine
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Spray small casserole dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
Lightly season each chicken breast half with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder on both sides.
Place 1 slice cheese and ham on each chicken breast half
Roll and insert toothpicks to hold in place
Mix flour and bread crumbs together in small bowl
Roll each chicken roll up into bread crumb mixture coating all sides lightly
Heat olive oil in medium skillet
Cook each roll up in oil for 2-3 minutes on each side turning to brown evenly
Place roll up in pre-sprayed casserole dish and place in oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes to complete cooking. Set skillet aside to make sauce in.
Remove from oven and allow to rest while you make sauce.

Sauce:

In skillet that chicken was browned in, heat butter and cornstarch together with remaining oil from cooking chicken. This mixture should form a loose paste.
Add in bouillon cubes, garlic powder and white wine
Cook for 4-5 minutes stirring constantly scraping pan to provide ultimate flavor to sauce
Stir in heavy cream and cook for additional 6-7 minutes on low heat.
Drizzle sauce over sliced chicken roll ups.

To reheat from freezer:

If you choose to make these Chicken Cordon Bleu Roll Ups to freeze ahead, the sauce can be made prior to serving, I do not recommend freezing the sauce for reheating. The extra flavor from using the skillet the chicken was cooked in is nice to have but not necessary for a wonderful creamy white wine sauce.

If making ahead and freezing you can easily assemble and freeze to be cooked stopping before rolling in bread crumb mixture or cook through and freeze once cooled after removing from oven. Regardless of which method you choose, you will find this to be one of those meals that leaves your family satisfied and praising what a great cook you are.

Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce at Home

Everytime I take my family to Olive Garden, somebody always orders the Alfredo Sauce. Whether it be Fettucini Alfredo or just a boat of sauce to go with breadsticks, there’s always Alfredo Sauce on the table. We can’t always get to Olive Garden for dinner, but now I can make the same Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce at home quickly and easily with this recipe! And now that I’ve made it once, it’s so delicious my children are asking for every night.

Simple Techniques to Make Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce at Home

The secret to Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce is egg yolks. If you’ve ever work with egg yolks you’ll know you have to temper them before placing them in with all the hot ingredients. This is easily done by placing the yolks in a separate bowl then adding a ladle full at a time of hot ingredients, continually whisking until it’s incorporated. This is an easy way to work the eggs so they don’t end up scrambled in the milk. The technique is easy to use and once you’ve done it, you’ll find other recipes to use this in as a thickening agent such as homemade puddings and other sauces.

Copy Cat Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

1 ½ C milk
1 ½ C heavy cream
½ C Parmesan, grated
½ C Romano, grated
6 egg yolks
salt and pepper

Instructions

Heat milk and cream in saucepan until it begins to simmer. Turn off heat. Whisk in cheese, then remove from heat.
Place egg yolks in a bowl and whisk. Add about half of the hot milk and cream mixture to the eggs slowly, whisking continually.
Slowly add egg mixture back into remaining cream mixture. Place back on low heat and stir continually until simmering.
Remove sauce from the heat to thicken.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.

What to do with Your Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce

Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce goes well with a lot of different dishes. You can serve it over pasta such as linguine or fettuccine, you can dip bread sticks in it (or garlic bread which seems to be my family favorite) and you can also make baked pasta dishes with it. My favorite is to mix the Alfredo Sauce with rotini pasta, place it in a bowl, and top it with red sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top and then run through the oven for about 20 minutes on 350 degrees. It makes the perfect quick Italian casserole for a weekday meal.

This next recipe is a healthy one yet it tastes delicious! I’ve been trying to eat healthy lately (trying 😉 ) and this was the perfect recipe for everyone because they didn’t think it tasted like “Diet” food. The chicken comes out perfect with just the right amount of sauce.

I put my meat on one piece whole grain bread and ate it like an open sandwich and my hubby ate it in a tortilla then the kiddos ate it on buns! I’d say the buns were probably the best tasting. Enjoy…

BBQ Pulled Chicken (the Healthy version)

Ingredients:

4-5 Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breasts
1 Can tomato sauce – I use organic and low sodium
1/2 cup organic ketchup
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar – I like Bragg’s
1 tsp liquid smoke
1-2 tsp garlic powder
Rolls or bread

Directions:

Mix all of the ingredients (less the chicken) in a bowl
Place chicken in crock pot
Pour mixed ingredients over the chicken
Cook on high 4-5 hours if using frozen chicken on low 4-5 hours if not frozen.
Shred chicken and place back in juice to cook for 20 minutes!

Ever wonder how to make homemade onion rings?! These are my favorite kind because I can add whatever spices I’d like to them…you know, you could even add brown sugar to make kind of a sweet and salty flavor.

I definitely recommend using the sweet yellow onions as these have a really good flavor and not too strong to eat by themselves.

You may even be able to get the little ones to try these because they taste to much better than just plain onions (although I love those too! 😉 ).

Homemade Onion Rings

What you need:

1 large or 2 small Sweet Onions
1 1/2 cup Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder

1/4 cup Water
3/4 cup Bread Crumbs
Salt to taste
1 quart Vegetable Oil for frying

Cut onions into 1/4 inch slices and separate into rings.
Place onions in a bowl.
Add buttermilk and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Heat the oil to 365-370.
In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne.
Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside.

I love to make this and then freeze whatever is leftover. You can then re-heat it up in the crock pot or in the microwave.
