Welcome back, we're making freezer meals today.

I'm making five freezer meals for my family while I'm away.

First meal is chicken tacos. Trim any ick from the chicken breasts.

Place 4 small chicken breasts in a freezer bag.

Add 1 cup of homemade salsa to the bag.

Add 1 cup of sour cream to the bag.

Massage the bag to mix the ingredients and remove air.

Write instructions on a piece of paper and tape it to the bag.

Add tortillas and a bag of shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the freezer bag for chicken tacos.

Next meal is garlic parm chicken leg quarters with veggies.

Trim chicken leg quarters and remove excess skin.

Season the chicken with honey garlic and Italian seasoning.

Douse the chicken with parmesan garlic wing sauce and massage it in.

Add pre-washed and trimmed carrots to the bag.

Cut potatoes into wedges and add them to the bag with the carrots.

Do not season the veggies, as they will soak up the chicken's flavors during cooking.

Stuff the freezer bag with chicken leg quarters and veggies, and add instructions.

Next, I'm preparing chicken leg quarters to marinate in Tennessee red barbecue sauce.

Place cleaned chicken leg quarters in a mason jar with the barbecue sauce and let marinate overnight before freezing.

Prepare wedged potatoes by seasoning them with salt, adobo, black pepper, and paprika.

Place seasoned potatoes on one side of a baking pan and add trimmed green beans to the other side.

Season green beans with adobo, black pepper, garlic powder, salt, and lemon juice.

Write instructions for the potatoes to add oil before baking.

Now, we're making a bacon cheeseburger tater tot casserole with ground turkey.

Start cooking 1 pound of lean ground turkey.
