Vegetarian Santa Fe Enchiladas (Freezer to Oven)

Another easy but yummy dish that is great for the freezer when you need a quick meal to pull out.  This is even a great dish to take if you have that "I signed up for dinner and forgot" night!

What you need:
1 pkg 8-10 Tortillas (I used flour)
1 pkg Morning Star Crumbles
1 container Philidelphia Santa Fe Cooking Cream
2 c Cheese

Heat crumbles either on stove or in microwave.  Add 1/2 container of cooking cream to mixture.  Fill each tortillas with a large spoonful of crumble mixture roll and repeat until pan filled.  Warm additional cooking cream to a saucy consistency (in microwave about 30sec).  Spread over enchiladas and top with cheese.

If going from dish to freezer there is no need to preheat your crumbles. 
When going from freezer to oven thaw for a couple of hours in fridge before cooking on 350 for 25 min.

ENJOY!

Spinach and Crab Bake (Freezer to Oven)

If you choose to freeze this, cover and freeze and pull out to thaw for 12 hours in fridge before baking.

Sweet Potato Bacon and Beef Stew in a Bag

Last week in preparing for surgery, I made several meals that I could put in the freezer and have available for my husband to pull out and pop in the oven or in the crockpot without any fuss.  In preparing, I also chose to use what was in my freezer to also get rid of some of my stockpiled meat collection :) I found a deliciously easy recipe for stew in a bag.
Here is what you need
1 Large ziplock Bag
1 Package Beef Stew Meat
2 Sweet Potatoes (cleaned and cut in pieces)
1 small onion
6 pieces of bacon (pre-cooked)
1 can of beef broth
1 can of stewed tomatoes
1 can sliced mushrooms

Dump all in your ziplock bag.  Pull out the night before you plan on using it and place it in the fridge to thaw.  Dump in crockpot and cook on low 8 hours!
Enjoy!
