For those that make and freeze meals

I haven't never done this but would love to start. Are there certain things that work better for this than other dishes? Give me some idea of things that I could make then freeze. Another silly question if I am making lasagna or something do I bake it then freeze it or freeze before baking?

    Every time I make Bacon wrapped Meat Loaf. I buy 5 pounds of beef and make it all up. Usually about 6-7 meat loaves. 

    I bake them completely and then wrap and freeze them. This is the only thing I freeze.

    YUM

    Sometimes I'll freeze actual meals, like lasagna (I do usually bake it first, but I think you can do either). Soups and stews also freeze really well.

    What I do more often is to freeze components of a meal, like sauces. Then I can just defrost a sauce and make some pasta or enchiladas or whatever to go along with it. I always make my own sauce so that's the most time-consuming part.

    I freeze my lasagna first and then bake it when we are ready to eat it. I put it in the fridge before work and then pop it in the oven when I get home.

     I also make and freeze a meal called Chicken Divan. Here is the recipe...

    4-6 chicken breasts cut up and cooked

    16-30oz broccoli (I use frozen)

    2 cans cream of chicken soup

    1 cup of mayo

    1/4 cup cheddar cheese

    1/4 cup bread crumbs

    combine soup and mayo; place chicken on the bottom of an 9x13 greased pan, top with cooked broccoli, spread soup mixture on top, sprinkle with cheese and then bread crumbs. Wrap and place in freezer

    When ready preheat oven to 375 degrees, bake 40 mins.

    We have a vacumn sealer.   Anytime we make dinner we make extra and freeze it, especialy meat.  I always buy large amounts of meat.  So i can just pull out cooked meat and just make side dishes...
