Double and Freeze

I love to freeze things, especially since I can make a weeks worth of meals and freeze them for a later date. Sometimes, while preparing my favorites that take a little longer than I like to be in the kitchen, I make doubles. For example, I will make a double batch of chicken spaghetti, one for now, and the other for later. Then, a few weeks or so later, when I get home, I just pop the frozen spaghetti in the oven to bake and we have a home cooked meal!!! Also, the beauty of prep and freeze is that my husband can pop it in the oven for a meal for him and the boys if I am not going to be home! Its better than going to McDonald's and easy enough for your man to fix!!!

Here is the recipe for chicken spaghetti, and if you have had it, you know I am famous for it!!!

CHICKEN SPAGHETTI
1 LB GROUND TURKEY
1 LARGE ONION
1 CAN OF SLICED MUSHROOMS
1 CAN OF LEISURE PEAS
2 CANS OF TOMATO SAUCE
1 CAN CRUSHED TOMATOES
1 CAN PETITE DICED TOMATOES
1 PKG OF AMERICAN CHEESE-NOT THE SINGLES WRAPPED INDIVIDUALLY THAT IS FAKE!
1 PKG OF ANGEL HAIR PASTA
2 TBSP OF CHICKEN BULLION - GRANULES OR CHICKEN BASE - NO CUBES THEY DON'T WORK IN THIS
1/2 CUP VEGETABLE OIL

COOK AND SHOP TURKEY MEAT(IN A SEPARATE SKILLET) IN A SAUCE PAN SAUTE ONIONS WITH THE OIL AND CHICKEN BULLION. COMBINE WITH ALL TOMATOES, MUSHROOMS, AND 6 PIECES OF CHEESE. LET ALL THESE INGREDIENTS COOK FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. MAKE SURE TO STIR SO THE CHEESE DOESN'T STICK. FINALLY, ADD THE CAN OF PEAS AND LET SIMMER FOR ABOUT 15 MORE MINUTES. IN WATER, BOIL THE ANGEL HAIR PASTA. THEN, LAYER SAUCE WITH PASTA IN A CASSEROLE DISH. TOP WITH AMERICAN CHEESE, COVER AND BACK 350 DEGREES FOR 25-30 MINUTES.

SERVE WITH GARLIC BREAD AND SALAD.

This is SUCH a great meal! It serves and army and has all the essential parts to every meal: meat, veggies, dairy.
Make extra to save for another meal when you don't have time to cook and you can enjoy it time and time again!

Remember to serve on paper plate with plastic forks for easy clean up! You can also take the leftovers to work and enjoy a delicious home cooked meal away from home.

***I am aware that it is called "Chicken Spaghetti" and I use ground turkey...Just keeps ya guessing when you eat it!"
