Chicken Tortilla Rollups by Jackie
Ingredients:
2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 small can chopped green chilies
2 cups shredded cheddar, divided
6-8 burrito size tortillas
Assembly:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, except 1 cup cheese and tortillas.
Divide mixture evenly among 6-8 burrito tortillas.
Spread mixture down the center of the tortilla.
Roll up burritos and place seam side down in aluminum freezer pan.
Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
Cover with aluminum lid. If you don't have one of these, you can cover with a layer of plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil.
Serving Day:
From Frozen: Bake, uncovered, in preheated 350 degree oven for 30-40 minutes or until warmed through.
From Thawed: Bake, uncovered, in preheated 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes or until warmed through.
**Hint: You can also make this without the chilies. We just like the extra flavor they add to the dish.

Italian Subs by Beth
Ingredients:
6 sub buns, split horizontally
12 slices provolone cheese
red onion, thinly sliced
tomato, sliced (I used Roma because they are
smaller and fit better on the buns)
6 slice salami, cut in half
18 slices deli ham
1 T. olive oil
2 t. apple cider vinegar
2 1/2 t. dried basil
1/8 t. pepper
Assembly:
Open the buns and on the bottom bun layer one slice of cheese (cut in half to fit), onion, tomato, 1 slice of salami (cut in half to fit), 3 slices of ham, and another slice of cheese (cut in half to fit). Combine remaining ingredients and drizzle over top layer of cheese. Cover with top bun and place 3 subs in gallon size freezer bag (you will need 2 bags). Freeze.
Serving Day:
Thaw subs in fridge. Place subs on cookie sheet, removing top bun. Broil for 3-5 min. or until cheese is melted (this may take longer as the entire sub is cold). Replace top bun and return to oven just until top bun gets lightly toasted. **This meal can probably be cooked from frozen, I'm just not sure how long to tell you to bake it. If you decide to do it this way, please comment with instructions**
