Re-Run: So You Forgot to Defrost Chicken! by Jen

* The original recipe is from Fix-it and Forget-It Cookbook and was written by Mary Seislstad. I have made slight adjustments for freezing.

Ingredients:
6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (original recipe calls for frozen chicken)
2 10 3/4oz. cans cream of chicken soup
4 oz. can sliced mushrooms, or 1/2c. sliced fresh mushrooms
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Assembly:
Place chicken in gallon Ziploc bag. Mix remaining ingredients in separate bowl and pour over chicken. Freeze standing up, so it will fit in the crock pot when you are ready to cook.

Serving Day:
Cook from frozen. Remove plastic bag from frozen meal. Place meal in crock pot. Cook on low 10-12 hours. Serve over rice.

Thai Beef with Noodles from Amy

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs. of steak for stir fry -  cut into strips (I used top round steak.)
1/2 cup Sherry
3 tbs. lite soy sauce
2 tsp. grated ginger
1 tsp garlic
1 tsp dark roasted sesame oil
1 package of lo mein noodles

Assembly:
Place strips of meat into a freezer bag.
Mix ingredients of sauce together in a bowl and whisk.
Pour into bag and freeze.

Serving Day:
Thaw completely
Preheat skillet, cook meat and sauce until warmed and meat is cooked to your liking.
Serve over cooked noodles.

*To add vegetables to our meal, I used a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables.  Before I cooked the meat, I put 2 tablespoons of the sesame oil in a pan - heated.  I put the vegetables in the hot oil and cooked.  I removed the vegetables and then cooked the meat to my liking.  Then I put a cornstarch mixture (3 tablespoons cornstarch and 3 tablespoons water) into the pan with the meat - sauce will thicken.  Finally, I returned the vegetables to the pan and heated.  Serve over noodles.
