A few weeks ago I posted a huge article titled Freezer Cooking 101 – Everything you need to Freezer Cook Like a Pro. Freezing foods is a great way to buy things on sale and preserve them for later. Most foods can be frozen with no problems. It is important to note that some foods need preparation before being placed in the freezer. Other foods don’t freeze well under any circumstances. Want to try assembling freezer meals? Before you read on grab my free meal plan here. This will help you make 10 meals for under $80!

Here’s an easy list of foods that you can freeze:

DAIRY:

Butter

Cheese

Cottage cheese

Egg whites (must be raw)

Ice cream

Milk

Whipped cream (sweetened, in individual serving dollops)

Whole eggs (follow these extensive prep notes here)

MEAT, POULTRY, and SEAFOOD:

Bacon

Beef

Chicken

Crab

Fish

Hot dogs

Lobster

Lunch meat

Pork

Sausage

Scallops

Shrimp

Turkey

Wild game (venison, rabbit, duck, pheasant, squirrel, goose)

PRODUCE:

Almost all produce can be frozen. Here are some that freeze particularly well. Make sure to follow prepping directions here for best results.

Artichokes

Asparagus

Avocado (pureed and prepped with lemon juice)

Beets

Berries

Broccoli

Brussels sprouts

Carrots

Cauliflower

Cherries

Greens (including spinach and collards)

PRODUCE THAT YOU CAN FREEZE (but only in certain circumstances):

Celery (only to be used in cooked dishes)

Garlic (frozen in oil)

Overripe bananas, peeled (great for smoothies and banana bread)

PRODUCE THAT CAN BE FROZEN in syrup packs:

Apples

Citrus fruits

Grapes

Plums

Pomegranates

NUTS, SEEDS, AND GRAINS:

These items do very well in the freezer. Because of their high fat content they would go rancid sooner if you only stored them at room temperature. The freezer helps preserve them for months longer than the pantry.

Nuts (also nut flours are great in the freezer)

Seeds

Flours (high in oil content like wheat flour)

BAKED GOODS:

Biscuits

Brownies

Tips to make dinnertime easy with COOKED FOODS THAT FREEZE WELL

(Make sure to cool completely in the fridge before freezing.)

Baked Breads (cooled completely before wrapping). We load up on clearance breads from our grocery store. They have a rack at the back of the store where all the breads are up to 75% off. These are great time savers for Sunday afternoon meals when you are so hungry when you get home. Also, bread helps a meal stretch to serve so many more people. Frozen loaves reheated in the oven are perfect for when you’re hosting surprise dinner guests! Casseroles (like this one!) (Unless otherwise noted in recipe, thaw overnight in fridge, bake covered at 350 for one hour or until bubbly.) Chicken and turkey – deboned and chopped, freeze in 1 cup portions for easy thawing and recipe use Ground beef – freeze in 1 cup portions for easy thawing and recipe use

Pasta, undercooked – do not rinse – do not add sauce

Tomato based pasta sauce
