If you couldn’t tell already, I love freezer recipes!

So often, when I get to the end of my busy day, I do not feel like cooking dinner. It’s much easier to take a few hours over the weekend, prepare several freezer recipes ahead of time so that on any given day all I have to do is remove a meal from the freezer and pop it in the oven.

Take a look at this yummy Meatball Mayhem casserole.

What You Need:

1/2 lb ground chuck
1/2 lb ground pork
1 1/2 C shredded Swiss cheese, divided
1 egg, slightly beaten

3 C cooked rice, divided
1 (10 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
3/4 C milk
