| My first trip to the freezer: Four bags of Mexican Soup, Four bags of Honey I Fed the Kid, and three bags of Garlic Honey Chicken. Yes, I rock!! |
My first success: Mexican Soup
Here is the recipe:
- 1 can of chicken broth
- 1 can of green beans
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 can corn
- 1 can beans (any kind)
- 3 chicken breasts (you can toss them in frozen)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
Throw into a gallon sized freezer ziploc and throw it in the freezer. I placed mine in the freezer very carefully, though. :)
When you want to cook it, throw it in, cook it on low until you can shred the chicken (6-7 hours). I cooked it on low for a very long time. I put it in about 6:15 am and Whit and McCoy ate around 6:30. When Whit got home around 4:45, he turned it on low. I ate around 7:30 pm. It was not burnt at all. It had excellent flavor and not too much taco seasoning. We put sour cream on it and it tasted wonderful!
Now, I cooked four batches of this soup! The one recipe called for 3 chicken breasts, but I only put in two and I would probably just do one chicken breast the next time. It seemed like a lot of chicken to me, once the veggies and tomatoes cooked up a bit. But it tasted wonderful! Left-overs included on small bowl for lunch today, and a big bowl for left-over dinner. The best part, it did NOT stink up the whole house!!!
Okay, that's not my first try at the freezer thing. I also did a recipe called Honey, I Fed the Kids Chicken dinner. This is called a "Dump Recipe" from the Lazy Day Gourmet. Here is the link. I grilled it and we had roasted potatoes and okra, and also green beans (with thyme and parmesan cheese mixed in-- great way to spice up a plain ol' can of green beans!). I give it 4 stars. It was received well by my family. Whit said the chicken had great flavor. I just like grilled chicken! We ate this on Saturday night.
