Shelly's Week 5 Menu

We survived our clean-out-the-freezer week (even our 4-month-in-a-non-freezer-bag-in-the-freezer meat) and I've become a convert to freezer meals. There's something magical about having a warm tasty dinner with minimal dishes. What are the favorite freezer meals around your house?

Here's the plan for this week:
Monday: Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Tuesday: Chili Verde

Wednesday: Slow Cooker Swiss Chicken Recipe (Did you end up making this, Cassie? Did you like it?)

Thursday: Korean Beef

Friday: White Chicken Chili (I'm trying it with freezer turkey...)

Saturday: Crockpot Cheese Tortellini

Sunday: Braided Spaghetti Bread

I read about this soup on a blog and knew I had to give it a try. It was... delish! I present you with...

Crockpot Cheese Tortellini
from this website

1 bag of frozen cheese tortellini (the noodles got a little soggy so this time I'm going to try dry tortellini from WinCo.)
1 small bag of fresh spinach
2 (14.5 oz) cans of Italian style diced tomatoes
8 oz. of cream cheese or Neufchâtel
1 lb. of ground sausage or chicken/turkey sausage
4 cups of chicken broth

Brown the sausage and put all ingredients in crockpot,
chunking up the cream cheese. Cook on low for 4-6 hrs.

*Keep an eye on your tortellini, it may be done sooner.

*If still soupy, leave lid off for the last half hour or so of cooking.

*For a vegetarian version, omit sausage and use vegetable broth instead. 

As you can see, you've had a huge influence on my menu this week. It's exactly what I was hoping would happen with the creation of this blog. Thanks for sharing your ideas!
