33 frozen meals in 2 hours

Today I took on the challenge of prepping my freezer for the next month. I found a few articles and a few inspirations for the recipes for me to make. hoped to stay under $100...after shopping though I ended up spending $146.00. (Meat is SO expensive!) After my trip to the grocery store, I was able to start making meals immediately.

The meals I made are:

Slow Cooking Zesty BBQ Chicken
Chicken Enchilada
Sloppy Joe's
Ground Beef (I'll be able to use this for spaghetti or shepard's pie)
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Waffles

The meals I prepped that are ready to be cooked:

Grandma's Chicken Casserol
Steak Fajitas
Beef Stew Meat
Steak Marinating
Chicken Marinating
Breakfast Sausage and Brats

It was all fairly simple. I started by prepping and cooking the meals that take the longest time to cook and then I moved onto prepping the other meals, such as separating the steaks, chicken, and breakfast sausage.

I'm looking forward to only having to purchase the perishable items such as eggs, milk, and maybe some more rice.
