Many sisters in the ward have expressed an interest in learning more about freezer meal preparation and to share ideas and recipes. I will be collecting your favorite freezer meal ideas and recipes so I can print them out to share with everyone at an upcoming freezer meal activity where we can sample different freezer meals and share ideas of how to utilize your freezer to cut down on meal preparation time for whatever family situation you may have.
I would like to share one of my favorite freezer meal recipes: Breakfast tacos. These are easy to prepare and great to have on hand for a fast and healthy breakfast. Also, the recipe is adaptable to the tastes of your family.
Breakfast Tacos
18 eggs
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 lb. Jimmy Dean’s sausage (I use regular)
1/2 pkg. hash browns (use about 15 oz.)
4 Tblsp. oil
24 flour tortillas (we like the thinner ones—Fajita style, small size)
(I use Mi Casa brand flour tortillas, fajita style)
Cook the sausage, drain, set aside. Beat the eggs well and cook. Cook the oil with the hash browns on a griddle or skillet, until browned. Mix all ingredients (except tortillas) together in a very large bowl and mix lightly. Put 1/3 cup of mixture in warmed tortilla and roll up. Repeat with the other tortillas. Wrap in foil. Bake in oven, on cookie sheet, till warmed through. Serve with salsa, sour cream, etc. To freeze for later use, put foil wrapped breakfast tacos in a freezer Ziploc bag and freeze. To use, defrost and remove breakfast taco from foil and then microwave till warm. (about 20 seconds) Or, bake on a cookie sheet in the oven (still in foil) until warmed through. We love to make these up ahead of time and then you have a quick breakfast option when you are on the run.
