"This recipe came from a local church fund raising cook book. Mrs. Geraldine is a good friend of the family. She reminds me so much of Mrs. Clause, that I can't help but smile every time I think of her. This recipe freezes well. Do not bake before freezing. Just put it together, freeze it, thaw it and cook."

Ingredients: angel hair pasta, cream of mushroom soup...

"This is a kid pleaser-very cheesy and topped with pepperoni. It makes 2 large (9x13) casseroles or 4 small ones; I often divide it in fourths and freeze 3. This originally came from TOH's Quick Cooking."

Ingredients: ground venison, garlic...

"This recipe is in about its third or fourth generation, passed down from Grandma to Mom to Me. It became my children's favorite, and now my grandchildren love it. It was a staple in each household, with or without the hamburger. The children named it "Belly Buster" because they always ate too much when we had it. Freezes well."

Ingredients: Spanish onions, lean hamburger...

"This is adapted from my mom's spaghetti recipe. It's a family favorite that simmers while you prepare the pasta--great for busy nights. Leftovers make a great lunch. I usually serve this over spaghetti, but sometimes I use linguine, fettucine, or penne. Good with garlicky bread and a salad. You can also make the sauce ahead and freeze it (it..."

Ingredients: fresh ground black pepper, dried bay leaves...

Ingredients: mozzarella cheese, spaghetti sauce...

"Because it’s too much trouble messing with lasagna noodles and making those careful layers. The quality of the chosen sauce is key. A friend of mine couldn't figure out how she could make the same recipe I did but mine was better until we realized that she was buying a cheap, minimally seasoned spaghetti sauce. Use more or less sauce according to..."

Ingredients: bulk Italian sausage, pasta shells...

"Number of servings is approximate! This is my family's favorite soup. The recipe makes ALOT of soup...so I like to prepare and freeze it for busy nights when I don't really have alot of time to cook. If I'm making this to freeze, I omit the potatoes and add them later. My family loves this with thick slices of plain or cracklin cornbread!..."

"This does make enough to feed 12 very fillingly! Using Rich Thick Meat Sauce for a Crowd! which is a large amount that we top the baked ziti additional sauce and then freeze the remaining cooled sauce in 1 cup amounts for future use. The pasta is under cooked by 4 minutes it will finish when baked and it will absorb the liquid from the sauce making it yummier. This is..."

Ingredients: ziti pasta, dried parsley...

"This recipe was given to my mother by an Italian Grandma that used to babysit my older brother when my dad was going through law school. It can be made in advance and frozen. I edited this to add: Make sure that you let it sit for 5-10 minutes after coming out of the oven so it firms up a bit. :)"
