Freezer Meals Recipes (Janea Waite)

American Enchiladas
(Waite Family Favorite)
1-pound ground beef
1 (28-ounce can) hominy (drained)
1 (28-ounce can) red enchilada sauce Fritos
Shredded Lettuce
Diced Tomatoes
Diced Onions
Sour Cream

Brown ground beef and drain fat. Bring enchilada sauce and hominy to a boil, and then add ground beef in. Cool. Place in freezer bag.
Thaw. Heat on stove or in microwave. Serve over Fritos and top with other ingredients as desired.
(I like onions cooked in with ground beef, but recipe does not call for them.)

Ravioli Casserole
(Karissa Moore- adapted for freezing)
1 (28-ounce jar) spaghetti sauce
1 (25-ounce package) frozen cheese ravioli
2 cups cottage cheese
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

In a 9x13 un-greased baking pan layer half each of spaghetti sauce, ravioli, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese. Repeat with layers of spaghetti sauce, ravioli, cottage cheese, parmesan cheese. Cover tightly and freeze.
Thaw. Bake in the oven covered 350 degrees 50 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake uncovered until cheese is melted and fork easily penetrates ravioli layers.
(I like to sprinkle my cottage cheese layer lightly with oregano and garlic salt.)
