Need easy dinners that can be premade and frozen, help me!

MIL is going in for a major surgery in March.  Once she is home, the recovery period is about 3 months. I'd like to make some quick dinners that FIL can just throw in the oven to help them out.

I would like your recipes for dinners that can be pre-made and frozen and just thrown in the oven, like casseroles, soups, or pasta dishes, etc.  

TIA!

Check out the Once a Month Mom website...there are lots on there to chose from.  (And what a sweet, thoughtful thing for you to do!)

My go-to freezer meals are stew; soup (not cream-based); chilil; chicken pot pie; shepherd's pie; quiche or similar egg casseroles; chicken, rice and broccoli; meatballs; baked ziti, stuffed shells or lasagna.

can't you just make extra of whatever you are having for the night/week and freeze it

This. I do this all the time - make more of a meal b/c it isn't any extra work, and then freeze a container for a later meal.

Once a month mom has a lot of great meals that are easy and inexpensive. I also like to freeze beef-vegetable soup, cavatini, chicken pot pie filling (then you can reheat and serve over biscuits), and chicken with stuffing and cream of chicken soup.

I make an awesome lentil sausage soup that freezes beautifully. I dont have a link bc I took a few recipes and made my own. If you want it, let me know and I'll post here.

I'd love this recipe if you don't mind posting or sending to me in a PM!

They live about 90 minutes away, so I was really trying to give them several meals, because I won't be able to be there every night.
