17 Kid Friendly Freezer Meals for Busy Nights
We're collecting a list of kid-friendly freezer meals that make it easier to feed the family on busy nights. With a little planning ahead, these simple dinners are almost always cheaper (and faster) than picking up takeout!
This list is interactive, so please add your own go-to recipes for the best freezer meals for families, or post a review for anything on the list that you try. Remember that these recipes make great meal train ideas, too. And, if you forgot to plan ahead with a freezer meal, we have suggestions for fast family dinners you can make from scratch, too!
Cheesy Sausage Rigatoni
Kelly R said: With many of the same flavors as baked ziti, this sausage rigatoni was a big hit with my whole family and totally easy to assemble and throw in the freezer. I was worried that the texture might suffer after being frozen, but it was delicious!
Homemade Chicken Pot Pie
Jaclyn Keifer said: This was my step son’s favorite meal so I spent a lot of time finding the perfect recipe. He loves this (and our other kids do also) because it’s not overly fancy yet perfectly delish. I usually make 6 at a time so I can freeze the others.
