Freezer Cooking Day 2--Results

Aaaahhh.  So my two day freezer cooking spree is over and I feel pretty good about the results!!  This is what I was able to accomplish yesterday:

• 2 Chicken Delight Casseroles

This recipe is a favorite of mine that I remember from my childhood.  My mom made this casserole many, many times and I always have fond memories of it.  I LOVE it!  It's so easy, so tasty, and so great for a crowd!  It's actually called Turkey Delight, but with all the chicken I have, I swapped, and chicken works just a good.

If you're interested, here's the tasty recipe:

4 cups cooked Turkey (or chicken)

3 eggs slightly beaten

1 cup cooked rice

1 cup breadcrumbs

3 Tbl melted butter

2 cups chicken broth

1.5 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

Mix all together and bake in a 9x13 pan 50 min @ 350

Yeah.  Super easy!  Here's the recipe for the sauce that goes with it.  I don't always make the sauce---the casserole is just as tasty and yummy on its own---but, it's great to have, especially if you're having company for dinner.

Sauce:  (Double to have enough for 6 or more)

3 Tbl butter

3 Tbl flour

cook both of those, then add:

1 cup chicken broth

3 Tbl cream or milk

1 tsp paprika

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

**Add parsley and mushrooms last and cook to a creamy sauce

• Boiled and shredded 12 more pounds of chicken


• Chicken Stock


• Chicken Noodle Soup (I substituted this for dinner tonight!)


• Cream of Chicken Soup

I have never made my own creamed soup, but I am now a believer.  I ran across THIS recipe from Tammy's Recipes and thought I'd try it.  There can be all sorts of "junk" in canned creamed soups, so I was eager to try this and it turned out great!  So easy, so tasty!  I wish I would have tried this a long time ago!

• I made one more Meatloaf, froze much more of the ground beef, and still have 5 more pounds in the fridge to do something with!!

So, all in all, a pretty accomplished day.  I forgot to take a picture of the end result,  but you get the idea!!  I'm hoping these freezer cooking days are something I can keep up EVERY month!

Oh, yeah, and another little highlight from yesterday:

Yeah.

We have a 5 month old sitting up on her OWN!!
