Recipes Using Chicken

How can you go wrong with freezer meal recipes using chicken? Reliable and classic, an easy chicken dinner will always score big points with the family. With simple-to-make recipes like our Chicken Pierogi Skillet (page 1), you really can't go wrong. The trick? We use recipe shortcuts like using various packages of frozen food for a simple-to-make easy dinner recipe done in minutes. For an easy chicken dinner the kids are going to go wild for, check out our make-ahead-meal recipe for Waffle Fry Chicken Bake (page 6). Casseroles are so easy to make and freeze for later, and we guarantee you won't taste the difference! For a portable meal on-the-go, you'll love our easy chicken dinner recipe for Mini Chicken Pot Pies (page 15). Make a whole batch of these, and keep 'em frozen, and if you're looking for a quick meal-for-one, you'll be all set!

Simple Beef Recipes

Bring on the beef! There's nothing like a hearty and simple beef recipe to fill up the family during the week. We start off by adding a bit of a cowboy flair to a classic pick-me-up with our recipe for Southwestern Meatball Soup (page 2). Perfect for rainy days, this is the ultimate feeling-dreary meal. If you're looking for a freezer meal recipe that doesn't need any sort of side, our recipe for Beefed-Up Broccoli Lasagna (page 11) has everything you need for a well-balanced diet. With meat, veggies, pasta, and much more, this make-ahead casserole really packs everything in. If you're looking for a tastier alternative to calling that same ol' pizza place on a Friday night, then you'll love our Chicago-style recipe for a Deep Dish Pizza Casserole (page 20). Add a few of your favorite ingredients to give this beef dinner recipe a personal touch.
