Delicious Quick Freezer Recipes For Weeknights

Quick freezer recipes are handy for busy weeknights. Having them in the freezer helps you stay on a diet and eat less takeout. I did this cooking for many years when my kids were younger. My favorite freezer meal cookbook was Once-a-Month Cooking by Mimi Wilson and Mary Beth Lagerborg (Amazon Affiliate Link). Click on the link to buy it on Amazon (affiliate). It helped me save money and time and keep my kids and me on a healthier diet. I found that soups and chili recipes work great in the freezer. Other freezer meal favorites are marinated meat dishes. While they defrost, they are marinating the meat. What a great idea! It's doing two tasks at once. Awesome! Over the last three years, I shared my weeknight recipes to help moms and dads eat better and keep their kids and themselves more organized. This post is my collection of freezer meals that will help you start. I hope you try at least a few of these recipes and that they help you and your family. Enjoy.

Soups

Soup recipes are excellent for weeknight meals. Legumes, especially black beans and lentils (Affiliate Link), are a staple in our house. They are great for creating a quick soup and giving enough fiber to fill us up. Below are my favorite freezer-friendly meals for a quick dinner.

White Turkey Chili Freezer Meal

The following recipe is White Turkey Chili. It is excellent for the winter months. I do this at least a few times a year.

White chilis are my favorite, as you can see (there are a 4 of them in this post).  I made several variations of this recipe and you can too.

Black Bean Soup Freezer Meal Recipe

The following recipe is a black bean soup recipe. I made this recipe recently, and it was delicious.

I'm a fan of turkey. This soup recipe seems more flavorful to me—it uses turkey sausage filling.

Easy Turkey Chili Recipe

This turkey chili recipe uses tomatoes to give it a different taste.

Tomatoes are a great add-on to a weeknight chili recipe. This one can even be added to a pasta dish for added meat and flavor.

If you are a fan of beef chili, this is the recipe to try. I love it and we have made it for years.

Amazing Texas (beef) Chili Freezer Meal

This recipe really is perfect for the freezer. Make a double batch and freeze half. It's so yummy. It does take some time to set up and cook. I like doing this recipe on Sundays and freezing half the batch for later. The longer this dish sits after it is cooked, the better it is. So, be patient, and you will be rewarded.

Another recipe I redid recently is the zucchini white chili one below.

Mix it up and add your favorite veggies for your family. Zucchini may not be their favorite. Carrots are great to add to the chili and would do wonderfully with these white chilis.

I tend to use turkey a great deal in my recipes, but if you wish, you can substitute chicken or lean beef in these recipes. They will work just as well. Now, it's your turn. Which one is your favorite? I enjoy the Texas Chili recipe in the colder weather. It's my go-to comfort food.
