Pre-Cooking

I have 3 meatloaves in my freezer now, think I only have 1 "dump" chicken in the freezer, need to make more of those.

For quick meatloaf, mix it up (less the salt--salt intensifies as it stands) label it and freeze raw - when you're ready to eat just thaw, shape and bake.
Freeze chicken in your favorite marinade for a quick no-brainer meal. The meat will marinade as it thaws.

I have about 30 or so oamc meals, though, so I'm good on my pre-cooking, lol:)

Alright, let's start with cooking ideas that save us time by getting things ready before the meal, or PRECOOKING. Some cooks do a lot of precooking, while others prefer not to or haven't practiced the skill. These are a few ideas that we like, and everyone is invited to share what works for you.
PRECOOKING FAVORITES:
Brown ground beef and freeze it in family size portions
Cook and cut up chicken breasts for a quick addition to a casserole
Cut up fresh veggies right after you buy them and put them in the fridge for a quick snack or to convert into quick side dishes
Freeze chicken in your favorite marinade for a quick no-brainer meal. The meat will marinade as it thaws.
Wash your produce and herbs when you get home from the store (except berries--these should be washed just prior to eating to avoid rapid spoiling.)
