Ingredients
8oz. uncooked spaghetti
3 cups frozen broccoli cuts
1/2 cup sweet red pepper sliced into strips
1/2 cup yellow bell pepper sliced into strips

1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
4 tablespoons butter
1 tsp. Italian seasoning

Assembly
Bring onion, water and sausage to a boil in a large skillet.  Reduce heat and cover.  Simmer for 7-8 minutes.  Add milk, seasoning and butter to skillet.  Cook and stir until butter is melted.  Cool completely.  Pour into gallon size Ziploc freezer bag.  Add broccoli and peppers into a separate quart size Ziploc freezer bag.  Add Parmesan cheese into a pint size Ziploc freezer bag.

  1. One of my favorite meals. I wasn't sure at first when I saw the bag of meat, but this was very easy to prepare and great flavor.

  2. Love this meal! The kids aren't fans of the peppers, but they are easily picked out. I didn't read the directions and thawed all of my bags. I thought the veggies would end up mushy, but they were fine.
