Easy batch cooks

danih

Any ideas?

I need freezer ideas for lunch and dinner. Also ideas for sweet treats that will keep in maybe a tupperwear box for a few days, tray bakes, or biscuits or something.

I can do a great bolonese, both vegetarian and using meat, which can turn easily into a lasanae.

But bit stuck for ideas beyond that.

Please keep all ideas as idiot proof as possible - I don't cope well with complex cooking

Soup, pretty much any type will do unless it has pasta, rice or chunks of potatoes as they will go mushy. Soup is also super easy and idiot proof - well mostly idiot proof, I have burnt leek and potato soup before today.

Chilli is also a simple, easy meal to batch prepare. Filling too.

Stew should also do well for batch cooking.

Goulash is also a good one to make batches of, but I don't know how idiot proof it is as I can't cook it.

Pretty much any pasta sauce works well for batch cooking.

HM burgers freeze really well. And not just beefburgers, things like lamb, feta and courgette burgers, too.
Or meatballs - pork and chorizo meatballs are a favourite in this house.
Chicken and veggies done in the slow cooker can be frozen and can be left as a stew or become a pie.
Whenever white fish is on offer I'll buy up a couple of kilos, chop into fingers and coat with panko breadcrumbs for HM fishfingers.
HM pizzas (easy peasy to make the dough if you have a breadmaker).
Curry sauce can be made pretty easily and then frozen into portions, to add to meat/veg and turn into anything from korma to vindaloo.
Cookie dough can also be rolled into logs, wrapped in greaseproof paper and frozen.
