are there any dishes/main meals to prepare ahead that can go from freezer to oven/microwave without having to defrost first? Need to cut down on take out meals, so having something to throw in the oven right from frozen would be great.

All my casseroles, lasagnas, and chard rolls (they are cabbage rolls just using swiss chard leaves), and meatloaves go from freezer to oven. I use disposable foil pans with lids that I get from a Grocery Supply Store, they are 9x5 inch pans. When I get home and am too lazy I just chuck a couple pans into the oven, I don't even pre-heat the oven. The only down side is they take about 1 1/2 hours to cook. Well some people find that too long but to me I get to rest, while dinner cooks. I do find that the meatloaf takes longer to cook. They are cheap too, only $28 for 50 pans and lids.
