Time is precious as a new mom. Hate to say it, but trying to cook food just doesn't make the cut sometimes. However, eating the same 'ld meals over and over can get really boring. I found this recipe in a cookbook that looked fairly easy to convert into a freezer meal. Hubby LOVED it :)
Ingredients:
1lb ground beef
1/3 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
2 cups salsa
3/4 cup frozen corn
2 TBSP water
6 corn tortillas (6in diameter) cut into 1/2 in thick strips
3/4 cup shredded cheese
5 tsp sour cream
1 freezer gallon bag
2 freezer quart bags
Directions:
1. Label the gallon bag as skillet beef tamales. Underneath, write the cooking instructions:
Warm beef & peppers
Combine all
Stir in tortilla strips
Garnish with cheese and sour cream
2. Label one of the quart bags beef & peppers and the other one salsa & corn.
3. Combine the salsa, corn and water into the appropriate bag. Squeeze out all the air and seal shut.
4. Prep the meat by browning & draining it. Wait for it to cool (can be speed up by placing it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes) and place it in the other bag with the peppers. Don't cook the peppers ahead of time so they won't get soggy upon reheating.
5. Place both bags in the gallon bag.
