Freezer Meals
Every recipe here freezes for at least 2 months as a complete meal, either cooked and portioned or fully assembled and ready to bake. Make a double batch of lasagna, chili or soup and freeze half, or set aside an afternoon to fill the freezer with meatloaf, enchiladas, pot pie and breakfast burritos.
Each recipe explains what to freeze, how long it keeps and how to thaw and reheat it. Thaw frozen meals overnight in the fridge, never on the counter, and reheat them until the centre is hot, 74°C (165°F).

Quick answer
Savour's freezer meals keep for 2-3 months. The best for batch cooking are lasagnas, casseroles such as chicken pot pie, shepherd's pie and enchiladas, meatloaves, soups, chilis and slow cooker curries. For breakfast, freeze pancakes, waffles, egg muffins and breakfast burritos. Thaw meals overnight in the fridge and reheat them to 74°C (165°F) in the centre. Chicken pot pie and chicken cordon bleu bake straight from frozen.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I freeze meals so they still taste good?
Cool food quickly and freeze it within 2 hours of cooking. Wrap baked dishes tightly in plastic wrap and foil, or pack portions into airtight containers or flat freezer bags with the air pressed out, and label each one with the name and date.
Can I bake a freezer meal without thawing it?
Chicken pot pie and breaded chicken cordon bleu are made to bake from frozen at 190°C (375°F): allow 60-75 minutes for the pot pie and 45-55 minutes for the cordon bleu. Lasagna and other casseroles reheat more evenly if you thaw them overnight in the fridge first.
Which foods do not freeze well?
Cream and sour cream sauces can separate, cooked zucchini turns watery and crisp toppings such as chips go soft. For dishes like these, the recipe tells you which part to freeze and which to add fresh.
