3 Easy to Make Chicken Casserole Recipes For Freezer Meals
As a busy mother and grandmother, I am always looking for ways to prepare delicious meals for my family…for those busy nights when I don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen. To solve that problem, I like to make casserole dishes and freeze them for future meals.
When I make these 3 recipes, I make all of them in one day. You can freeze them in your baking dishes, however I like to go to the dollar store and purchase disposable foil baking pans. I can usually get them 3 for $1.00. I let them completely cool and then properly wrap them for freezing. They will keep in your freezer for up to 6 months.
Fruit Medley Casserole
1 (15 oz.) can pear slices, drained
1 (15.5 oz.) can pineapple chunks, drained
1 (15 oz.) can peach slices, drained
1 (15 oz.) can apricots halves, drained and sliced
1 (15 oz.) can dark sweet cherries
1 (1 lb.) box light brown sugar
2 sticks butter
1 tsp. cinnamon,
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 (24 oz.) jar regular applesauce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a large casserole dish with a non stick cooking spray. Place the pear slices in the bottom of the prepared casserole. Sprinkle 1/5 of the box of brown sugar over the top of the pears. Dot 1/2 stick of the butter over the top of the casserole.
Mix the cinnamon and nutmeg together in a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle 1/5 of the spice mixture over the top of the butter. Spread 1/5 of the applesauce over that.
Continue to layer in this manner beginning with the fruit until all the ingredients have been used.
Bake 25 minutes or until heated completely through.
