Looking for recipes that can become freezer meals

This recipe would work. You can transform it into a freezer meal by putting all the ingredients in the freezer bag except the tomatoes, or salsa. Then just add those items while cooking it in the skillet later. It would even work as an oven meal. The whole idea behind freezer meals, for me anyway, is to cut down as much of the prep work as possible, for the nightly meal making. So the more prep work done ahead, the better. I also ignore recipes that call for a lot of special ingredients. The more basic, the better. The other reason this recipe works is it has many of the same ingredients I need for my other recipes. For example, it's a lot easier to buy 12 cans of cream of whatever soup, than to pick out a ton of herbs in the produce section and after chopping them, add them to flour and water on the stove while stirring fast. Their recipe is really yummy, by the way.

This one has nothing to do with freezer meals, but is fast enough it doesn't need to be. You can cut the time down even more by purchasing the premade crust at the store, but a premium dough mix tastes better... your choice.
