Chili! I make a big pot of chili every week and have it for lunch and/or dinner. I call it quick chili because it's really easy to throw together without much fuss - 2 bags of frozen onions and peppers, 2-3 cans of beans, lean ground meat, a big jar of salsa, BBQ sauce, powdered bullion, granulated garlic, and chili powder (and maybe also cumin and oregano - depends on how lazy I am that day).
Also, I will cook up a batch of rice for the week, and also several proteins (chicken breasts, burger patties, pork loin, etc). I combine the proteins and rice with frozen veggies and/or beans to make quick meals.
We cook big meals too, and eat them all week. But we have to change the meal every time. How can you eat the same chili every week? Don't you get sick of it?
Again, we do this, we're working on a pot roast right now. It's pretty good, but it's also day 3 or 4 and I'm already kind of sick of it. I can't imagine cooking it again next week, and then again and again.
Do you ever mix it up?
Freeze portions. This way I only have to eat something a couple times, and I get ready-made stuff for a few days from now.
Almost everything freezes fine.
Great suggestion. Def do this if you need more variety.
95% of the time I eat the exact same breakfast every day which I think would bore most people.
Not a bad idea. We've frozen some stuff. But we're bad about forgetting it's there. Also we don't have much freezer space, and our freezer is mostly full of a rotating supply of raw meats and such. We buy in bulk and freeze.
